Scimitar (Jasca Ducato)

The Scimitar was built along lines echoing ancient warships of unknown Zao tenj designs dating back several millennia – a massive central primary hull flanked by bird-like, downswept "wings". The cornerstone of Scimitar's predatory threat, a powerful cloaking device, radically changed the ship's threat when deployed.

For tactical purposes, the warship was equipped with an unprecedented number of weapons emplacements, as well as multiple shielding systems. A wing of Zao tenj fighters were berthed in the ship's cavernous shuttlebay.

Its advanced cloaking system was a series of seperate devices that masked different sections of the ship, and could be activated or deactivated independently. The system was superior to any cloaking devices ever created by the Galactic Empire, and effectively impervious to all sensor systems of the time. The ship was incapable however, of raising shields and firing its weaponry while the cloak was engaged.

Layout
The phsyical design of the Scimitar was considerably different from that of any other ship encountered by the Sith Order of Decreto.

Bridge
The bridge of the Scimitar was radically different in design than any Sith, or Zao tenj vessel, though it did share the same basic layout as most starships.

In the center of the room was located the chair of the vessel's commanding officer. Behind his chair, both to the left and right, were consoles that required the operator to stand up. Directly in front of the captain's chair were two more stations. The remaining forward stations was manned by the flight controller, tactical operations and Internal security.

Directly behind the captain's chair was a flight of stairs that led to a higher level. Here, two more consoles were located, and access was provided to the rest of the ship.

Outline
The outline of the Scimitar gave the warship a much more threatening look, making the captains of many Sith warship quake as the saw it.

Unlike most Sith wraships, which shared the ancient Star Destroyer design, the Scimitar had a much more angular design, that sered to decrease the warships profile in combat.

The Scimitar was the only known Zao tenj Warship to boast a cloaking device.

Behind the scenes
The Scimitar, along with the Zao tenj Cruiser, Zao tenj Destroyer, and Zao tenj Super Battlecruiser are all homages to the Star Trek universe.
