Victory III-Class Star Destoryer

The Victory III-Class star destroyer is the successor to the Victory II. Produced by XiCraDo Industries, a company formed by the Xi Charrians, Cranscoc, and Doneer following the collapse of the Empire. They sought to redesign the outdated Victory II into a ship capable of protecting a planet on its own. To that end many of the updates made involve the use of material enhancements to its systems or design elements culled from other successful ship lines.

Characteristics

The first design element incorporated was the replacement of the hyperdrive motivator with the superior Class 0.6 one employed by the Victory Class's progenitor the Acclamator Class Assault Ship. The power system was enhanced by replacing the reactor with a Proton-8 reactor giving it a similar power output to an Imperial Class Star Destroyer. This power output was further enhanced with 2 smaller secondary Isotope-5 reactors to provide additional power during peak demand. Most of its weapons systems received significant upgrades through crystal enhancements. Agrocite was incorporated into the Turbolasers more than tripling the power output. Force crystals were used to drastically enhance the output of the Ion weaponry based on the Malevolence's powerful in pulse weapons. Synthetic kyber crystals produced in a geological compressor were integrated into the 20 Quad laser batteries that replaced the 20 Turbolasers on the Victory II. This change more than double the effectiveness of the defenses at repelling fighter attacks while still allowing them to be effective in ship to ship combat. The tractor beam projectors power output was increased ten fold through the use of Magnite ore. Perhaps the most significant addition to the Victory III is the forward facing proton beam cannon. The proton beam cannon is capable of punching a hole directly through an Imperial Star Destroyer though it requires 5 minutes between each firing. The crew required to operate the ship was reduced by over 2000 men through the use of slave circuitry and droid automation with plans to further reduce the crew in future generations. The armor upgrades were inspired by a Felenar Phrik armored Kandosii Dreadnaught and the HAVw A6 Juggernaut's superconducting armor. Recognizing the value of fighter support split level fighter bays, reminiscent of the Harrower Class Dreadnaught, were added to each side of the Victory III. Finally they incorporated Lucent crystal based navigation computers allowing the ship to operate in areas that previously would have been unnavigable. All the material upgrades came at a cost, nearly doubling the price of the Victory II
