Intent: To update the Charon-class for open market use
Manufacturer: Sienar Fleet Systems
Model: Charon-class Star Destroyer
Affiliation: Independent
Modularity: No
Production: Minor Production
Material: Durasteel
Description: The old Charon suffered from many of the same flaws and short-comings that the Subjugator did; namely over-cramped, poorly-designed hanger space resulting in high number of causalities and poorly insulated power relays meant that despite the numerous cannons on the ship, rarely were they all in functioning order. Salvaging the design was a time consuming process, but the results are well-worth the cost. Cannons were replaced and reshielded, hull plating was replaced as new groundings were set for the power relays. While it doesn't have as many ship-to-ship guns that the old version had, the new Charon possesses significantly higher anti-starfighter capabilities.

Hanger space was optimized and the ship is able to more efficiently launch and recover ships over the old version. Stored aware are the supplies capable of sustaining a planetary invasion for more than a full year, along with the dropships necessary to ferry those troops and supplies down to the surface.

On the basis of its near-unique status, I'll approve it. If the ship were to ever enter mass production, it would require either a downgrade of its weapon total or forego the carrier role.
