Strengths:
* Powerful Electronic Warfare Systems - The vessel has multiple layers of electronic warfare weapons and systems
* Heavy Shielding - The vessel has multiple layers of overlapping redundant shield protection
* Redundnt Systems - The vessel has multiple layers of system redundancy
* Anti-slicing - All networks and systems are protected from slicer attacks by Socketguards
* Anti-Ionic Defense - Multiple systems are installed to protect vessel from ionic based damage.
Weaknesses:
No Offensive Weapon Systems - Other than the electronic warfare systems the vessel has no offensive weapons.
Weak Flank Fire Arcs - most of the offensive firepower is fixed to the forward fire arc.
Weak Aft Fire Arc - most of the offensive firepower is fixed to the forward fire arc.
Cost - the massive redundancy and construction technics make the class very expensive.
Repair - the massive redundancy and construction technics make the class difficult to repair. Vessel must be repaired at a certified MCS drydock.
Poor Maneuvering - The mass of the vessel makes it less maneuverable than other vessels of its class and size
Description:
The Moray-class is considered a fleet support vessel and operates both passively and actively to protect the vessel's it is escorting from enemy fire. It does so by utilizing a wide array of electronic warfare weapons and systems against both the enemy ships and attack craft and all communications in the system. The Moray-class can interdict communications both throughout the system and any outgoing communications sent away from the system. It then uses other systems to decrease the enemy fleet from targeting and attacking the vessels it is supporting.
Like all Mon Calamari Shipyards built vessels the Moray-class is equipped with triple redundancy systems, anti-ionic protection, socketguard protected anti-slicer computer network and communications systems, and very powerful shielding to protect itself during battle. The Moray-class has no offensive weapon systems relying on the vessels it is protecting to protect it during battle from enemy fire. It does have one Turreted Laser Defense Batteries to protect itself from small attack craft and any projectiles which may make it through its powerful array of countermeasures.
Communications Interdiction Capabilities
The Moray-class suite of electronic warfare systems included a powerful Hyperwave Jammer Array which is based on the ancient clone wars technology used by the banking clan vessels of the time. These powerful radio frequency generators transmitted powerful static on every frequency associated with communications blocking any and all normal RF based communications. This system is so powerful it can block all Hyperspace communications over an entire system blocking any outgoing transmissions or calls for help from a system. IN addition, a powerful secondary Frequency Jammer Array can block communications over a smaller radius which is generally used to block communications around a planet against orbital defenses and starships and against the enemy forces planetside. The more powerful system is then used block communications out of the system. In addition to this powerful anti-missile system, the Moray-class also had a Missile Deactivation Transmitter which scanned incoming warhead projectiles identifying their operating frequencies and sending out a signal deactivating the incoming projectiles.
Electronic Warfare Capabilities
The Moray-class also had systems for the interdiction of targeting systems. Weapons like the Long Range Jamming Beam support attack craft by target enemy ships at long range and shutting down their ability to track and target vessels with their fire control systems. This allowed attack craft to close and attack a vessel with far greater effect as the defensive weapons of the targeted ship were unable to use targeting systems, leaving the targeted vessels gunners only line of sight targeting. Systems like the LLT-12 Erebus Jamming Array act against enemy capital ships to jam their targeting systems and making it much more difficult to hit. These systems are very effective at long and medium ranges but become less effective as the enemy ships close into short and point blank ranges. Anti-ordnance EM Probe Launchers fired small probes into space. These probes emit signals which scramble the electronic guidance of incoming smart and guided projectiles causing them to veer away and often miss their targets. These systems work well against any type of torpedo, rocket, or missile that utilizes guidance systems but not against non-guided projectiles. Two Turreted Countermeasure Defensive Batteries work to defend vessels and itself at close range. These batteries fire an array of countermeasure canisters ranging from micro mine fields to ion storm canisters
