Palace-class Destroyer

Palace-class Destroyer

"So many good men died for us to obtain this ship... Let's make sure they didn't die in vain!"

- Rajh T'le, Feliinyen General

The  was a class of the new line of warships designed after the end of the Clone Wars, along with the Willpower-class Destroyer, the Liberator-class Battlecruiser, the Defiance-class Battleship, the Shelter-class Carrier, the Oasis-class Replenisher, the Type-40b cruiser, the Regal-class Sloop, and the Night Watcher-class Monitor.

Details
Built off the captured prototype of the Executor-class SSD, The Wrath, the Palace-class Destroyer was the the single largest warship in the Feliinyen navy for years, despite being smaller than the full sized Executor-class warships, these were more than capable of holding their own against one with their exceptional firepower and shielding, with examples of a single Palace-class tanking the concentrated firepower of 2 Executors for a good while. Later versions of the warship would be retrofitted to lose the dorsal cityscape and any large weak spots, and others would be modified to become civilian cargo and passenger transports.

Production
The class would begin as an Imperial Prototype warship, designed mostly as a proof of concept that large dreadnoughts were a viable type of warship. It would accomplish this well enough to leave an impression on Feliinyen spies, which would lead to the realization of a plan to capture one and begin producing Feliinyen dreadnoughts. After the capture of The Wrath, the vessel would be reverse engineered and remade into the Palace-class.

Usage
Palace-class Destroyers would see use as command ships and the heart of many Feliinyen fleets, and would become the most produced warship class above 10km in length, with nearly every moderately sized fleet including one.

The first time the ship would see combat was in The Battle of Mustafar, where the Legendary Ace, a Palace-class, would spearhead an assault with the goal to halt shipments of the valuable minerals and materials extracted from Mustafar used to create Imperial Super Weapons. The battle would eventually be won by the Feliinyen forces and the planet's materials would be seized to be used to produce much more powerful warships and vehicles for the Feliinyen war effort.

The class would see usage ranging from command ship to battleship to carrier and even be used as an assault ship, coming into atmosphere to offload ground forces via its shuttles, transports and other attached ships.

Obsolescence
The class would remain in service for years and years to come, continually being upgraded and refitted to stay up to date with much more modern classes. It would continue to serve well past it's prime as a dreadnought and well into the era of super dreadnoughts, serving as an escort ship to larger feliinyen and allied dreadnoughts.

Behind the scenes
This ship was created using the Lego Digital Designer.

The design was meant as the description states, to be a captured and remade Imperial Prototype Executor.
