DESCRIPTION

The Lettow-type Heavy Cruiser was designed to be the mainstay of the fleets of the Ashlan Crusade. With adequate speed and maneuverability, power weapons and advanced shields, the Cruiser was the the dimensions of the original Victory Star Destroyer of old, although this would be the only similarity between the two warships.
The Lettow contained room for a plethora of solders, medics, and other passengers while mainting and feeding it's relatively small crew. Likewise, it also maintained advanced Droid Factories aboard to supplement it's assault complement. The factories themselves would be a marvel of engineering capable of utilizing General Manufacturing Constructs to build a variety of Battle Droids, and mainting it's growing droid army by utilizing Molecular Furnaces to fuel the machines. The ship also possess layered shielding bolstered by a powerful Xythan Shield and Molecular Shield, however the strength of both these advanced defense systems is limited due to the size of the vessel.
That is not to say the Lettow was capable of making Battle Droid endlessly however, with the Molecular Furnace only able to provide materials as long as it was fed, and the Lettow was incapable of maintaining the furnace in perpetuity. The Lettow also does not have the space to store the manufactured battle droids so therefore the Artificial Intelligence designed to oversee the Factories and Construct would signal the factories to stop producing droids once a maximum quota has been reach.
The Molecular Furnace can also be used to resupply the Heavy Cruiser with missiles and other kinetic weaponry, especially to it's powerful coligun Mass Driver Cannons, which alongside the Agrocite Cannons serve as the vessels primary armament.
There isn't necessarily a record of material for the fleets of ships of this class that have been assembled nor does anyone know how their thought-to-be designer aquaried them, however they all serve valiantly as the backbone of the Ashlan Fleet, bring the light to expunge the dark.

Very nice ship! I found only one problem and one concern.
  • The problem is, you forgot to link the image scource, please fix this.
  • The concern is the defence rating, you write some item here what is more a very high or extreme level. These are the Xythan force shield and the Molecular shielding, both are powerful, especially if we add to them to the others. So please clarify how this and the entire defence is high and their limits.
That's all, please let me know if you edited and clarify these.

So the Xythan Shields and Molecular Shields are a great thing to bring up. I didn't really put into much thought the exact strength they had, but I would like to keep the rating as it is as it's the not the fluff and stuff we add rather the actual rating which dictates how strong they are.

I did add a sentence to the Descriptors to detail their power though, and everything should be good now

The sentence is not really good explanation, since as everything is as big and as strong as the size of the ship/vehicle you put it on. In this view you still want a top/high tier shield system on the ship. This is still very high or extreme level. So I strongly recommend to delete this two from your list, or change the ratings to very high or extreme level.

Thank you! And one more concern and remark. Agrocite cannon, this, if you're read the text, "During the Battle of Khorm, Khormai Separatist Warlord Unger Gout used it to its full potential, easily destroying a Venator-class Star Destroyer in one blow. " And you wrote 6 of it. I hope you can understand my concern, but this is far beyond the high rating. This is nearly or reach the extreme level. So I recommend again to lower their number and raise the rating to very high or extreme level, or consider to delete this weapon.

Thank you, and one more thing left, what I recommended/ask last time too. Please lower the Agrocite cannon's number, because six from these on a 900 metres ship is too many. On such ship, with the other armaments, I think the two is more than enough, because these are quite powerful weapons.
