Virulence-class Star Destroyer

The Virulence-class Star Destroyer was another stolen and partially modified Imperial Design utilized by the Astragon Navy.

Characteristics
This ship is an improvement upon the Emancipator-class Star Destroyer, just as the Empire improved its own design. Astragon stole a ship of the new design, renaming it again to prevent confusion among its forces.

This ship class still shares similarities with its ancestor, as it still has the octuple barbette turbolaser cannons, but they are heavily armored. It also kept the five heavy turbolaser batteries used by its ancestor, but the other five batteries were replaced with five point-defense laser cannon batteries. There are thirty additional turbolaser cannons, twenty-two heavy ion cannons, and twelve tractor beam projectors.

These ships have a similar complement to the Emancipator-class Star Destroyer, with 72 starfighters in an overhead rack and another 12 TIE/Ae ships. They kept all their landing barges, walkers, and other vehicles. They also still carry a garrison base, twelve landing craft, and eight shuttles.
