Devastator-class War Cruiser

Devastator-class War Cruiser

The Devastator-class War Cruiser was arguably the most modern ship in the Sith arsenal; though based on older designs, the version employed by Khrado Ragnos and his apprentice Tak Sakaros was sufficiently different to be classified as a separate vessels. It was largely conjectural during the early campaigns; Ragnos did not have one actually produced until the Clone Wars. Sakaros would go on to make several more, though most were destroyed at the Battle of Dorian IV.

Characteristics and Capabilities
Given its redesign in the modern era, the Devastator Cruiser featured a much sleeker design than other Sith ships, which were bulky in comparison. Its more aerodynamic design allowed the Devastator class to attack other capital ships much faster than its fellow fleet craft, making it an ideal choice for the point ship. As a result of influence from Republic fleet influences, it also carried a substantially greater fighter complement than the next comparable ship, the Eliminator-class Cruiser.

The Devastator was specifically designed to engage multiple inferior ships simultaneously, and as such it can take heavy bombardment from all sides without sustaining critical damage. Its large fighter complement provided ample protection against smaller threats, effectively allowing the ships to act as a mini-fleet on their own. They were capable of conducting planetary invasions without assistance from other craft, and Lord Sakaros often sent a pair of Devastator Cruisers to clear out systemary defense forces.

Following his discovery of his blood-sister Valadyn Ragnos, Tak Sakaros assigned her the Devastator Cruiser Vengeance as her personal craft.
