- Full automization: Thanks to the integration of various high tech computers and internal electronics alongside the ZEUS mk II Droid Brain at the core, this ship requires a lot less functional personel to have this ship be in perfect operational condition. It also increases the precision of the weaponry and allows for better tactical approaches when in an emergency.
- Extreme Armament: Loaded to the brim with a large array of powerful missile launchers and modern weaponry alongside the high precision of the targeting systems and guidance systems thanks to the full automization of the ship, the Dictator class is veritably extremely potent when it comes to offensive capability in comparison to other ships within its class.
- Extreme Defense: The fact that this ship is supposed to be the very peak of warship engineering, means that the defensive side of this ship had to be as good as its offensive capacity. This was achieved through the use of hightech shielding, stealth capacity and many features that weren't seen on any of the main lines of ships produced by Nargath Holdings due to the association with Locke & Key mechanics.
- Stealth Capacity: The combination of Embedded stygium crystals, the Black coated color of the ship along with the heat and friction resistent Carbonite coating grant this ship the outmost, top notch ability to hide itself from sensors, radar and even the very sight, making this essentially an invisible battering ram so that enemies would never be aware what hit them until it's already too late.
- Variety of weapons: Not content with simply being loaded with endless amounts of turbolasers, this ship proves its versatility with the varuety of weaponry it utilizes to batter an enemy defense senseless, with weapons ranging from mere solid projectile weaponry to incredibly powerful plasma railguns and Heavy Ion Cannons.
- Full automization: As always there is a disadvantage to the automization of ships, which becomes progressively obvious in this case, as the ship due to its high reliance on the ZEUS droid brain is very succeptible to Ion and EMP attacks, especially when the shielding of the ship would be down.
- Full automization II: With automization comes the risk of having slicers try and crack the encypted coding of the machines and computers responsible for the automization, though in this case this would mean trying to crack the codes of the difficult to crack ZEUS mk II droid brain, if succesful, it would grant slicers full control over the ship.
- General Mobility: Due to prioritizing armaments and armour primarily, the Dictator class Dark Zealot is severely lacking in the maneuvrability and speed department, despite the more powerful engines, this can also be adressed to its larger size and bulk and the added fact that the majority of the ships reactor's energy is used for the computing abilities of the ZEUS droid brain and the weaponry systems.
- Interdictary Fields: A large enough interdictory field will not only refrain the ship from going into hyperspace, but will also mess up its stealth systems, forcing them to become inert until the interdictory field is eitherescaped from or lifted. Sadly this also includes when this ship activates it's own HIMS interdictory field generator.
- Cloaking system: To effectively use the weaponry, the cloaking needs to be shut down, at which point it enters a cooldown phase, making it impossible to engage and instantly recloak, as energy is being diverted to the weapons. It CAN work in conjunction with the shields.
The Dictator Class ships are built on the idea of a highly modular and highly customizable frame, skeletal structure and hull which can be fitted with a variety of technologies, weapon systems and defensive systems to suit the needs and wishes of the people requesting to have a large warship built to their own design and requirements. The first of these ships has gone into production right after both the Brabo and Antigon prototypes had been built and started their test runs. Utilizing their basic design structure, the Dictator class can be seen as the galaxy's most customizable battlecruiser with the capacity to be the most powerful warship one could ever dream of bar ofcourse the overwhelmingly powerful super star destroyers.
The Dark Zealot is effectively the Sixth in the Dictator Battlecruiser line to see completion and through its production process had become the first to be called unique even among the already unique Dictator class battle cruisers, as it is the first to not just use reinforced Ersteel 145 outer plating, but also the added defense of a Tunqstoïd lining. It is also the first Dictator class to be given the technologically superior ZEUS mk II droid core and ai placement. As always, the technology is a shared endeavour with Locke&Key mechanics,though in this design, the weaponplacements are overwhelmingly of N&Z make, in order to slowly phase out the older weapons provided by the L&K mechanics company. L&K mechanics strong point has yet again been used in the form of a wide variety of shielding and cyber security technology to at the very least bypass or lessen some of the design's original flaws.
