DESCRIPTION |
The GADF Megos-class Star Destroyer is a representation of two cultures blending together and serves as a beacon of unity to strengthen a new alliance. With an aesthetic and design inspired by the Hapan People's deep love of beauty and the might of the arms and advanced technologies of the Galactic Alliance, the GADF Megos seeks to further bridge the two cultures together to stand against the coming onslaught. With the alliance between the Hapes Consortium and the Galactic Alliance still fresh, the production run of the GADF Megos is limited, with it being unlikely that large flotillas of these vessels will be seen any time soon. This limited production run has also permitted the engineers more time to work out the intricacies of combining Hapan design with Alliance engineering and technology which has resulted in a Capital Ship similar in some aspects to the more well-known Hapan Battle Dragon. This can be seen in the large Sublight Drive System located at the aft of the GADF Megos, which is just as susceptible to damage; which in turn can cripple the Star Destroyer. Its primary role is that of a warship, and this role is clear given the heavy armaments and defensive capabilities built into the GADF Megos which also incorporates tried-and-true Hapan weapon systems in the form of the Pulse Mass Generator Tubes and the accompanying Pulse Mass Mines. However, the heavy reliance and focus on creating a warship has come at the cost of maneuverability and speed, with the GADF Megos being described as a lumbering brute. This has resulted in slower speeds even for a ship of its size and a less than nimble control as it can take an extended period of time just to turn the vessel compared to other Star Destroyers of its size. Following the Hapan design and love of beauty has also seen the majority of its weapon systems being installed to cover the forward firing arc, with few weapons facing the aft firing arc; the result being a nearly uncontested approach vector that causes the GADF Megos to rely upon escort vessels to cover the aft flank. As a means to attempt to overcome some of its other weaknesses, the GADF Megos does boast an extensive hangar capacity and is capable of deploying multiple squadrons into an engagement. It is also capable of carrying up to two squadrons of support craft to further assist in executing its mission objectives which may include securing a beachhead on a planet or taking control of a Space Station. The GADF Megos-class Star Destroyer is the first of its kind that focuses on bringing the newest of allies closer together and serves as the focal point to inspire the next generation of Hapan and Galactic Alliance warships. |
