- Bulwark: Like many other mon calamari-designed warships, the Ackdool has multi-layered shielding which allows it to at least put up one set of shields in a given area even if some of the ship's other shielding systems are damaged or down. Combined with a reinforced frame, the Ackdool is capable of withstanding intense amounts of enemy firepower.
- Slugger: The Ackdool is designed to dish out large amounts of firepower, not only delegating a large portion of its reactor energy to different weapon systems, but also using larger than normal and heavier weapon systems as well. These heavy guns and warhead launchers excel at breaking down cruisers and other star destroyers in quick order.
- Full Forward Firepower: The Ackdool's hull shape conceptually mimics that of the classic Imperial wedge, allowing it to concentrate nearly all of its firepower in a forward arc, making it more capable of overwhelming enemy defenses
- Fewer Small Craft: The firepower focus of the Ackdool limits the amount of internal space that can be dedicated to hangars, necessarily leading to carrying fewer small craft.
- Low Performance Craft: With extensive shielding taking up power otherwise available to the engines along with greater mass from the reinforced hull to further inhibit movement, the Ackdool is not a particularly fast or agile starship for its size.
- Weak Rear Firepower: As with other wedge-shaped designs, the Ackdool cannot bring much of its firepower to bear in the rear arc, with most of those weapons also being lighter turbolasers and a number of its plasma energy torpedo launchers rather than its main heavy guns.
The Ackdool is a heavier star destroyer meant to fill the traditional ship of line role, where it can slug out other heavier warships in protracted combat. To help the vessel survive such scenarios, the Ackdool's mon calamari designers harkened back to their traditional use of multi-layered shield systems and married them with a reinforced frame. Perhaps more interesting, the Ackdool's architects incorporated several traditionally more Imperial design motiffs, including the use of roughly wedge-shaped hull design and a focus on using very heavy weapons. These "Imperial" traits make the Ackdool exceptionally dangerous as it cn concentrate a high amount of exotic firepower directly in front of it. despite these strengths, the Ackdool is somewhat limited by its lack of speed and limited small craft complement - these drawbacks make it less suited for independent patrols or conducting ground support operations. Still, the heavy firepower and defenses mean that this traditional battleship will likely become a common sight in Silver Jedi space for some time to come.
