- Catapult Pressors: The Fanladi II has enough catapult pressors that every starfighter has its own catapult pressor, meaning that its entire starfighter complement can be launched simultaneously and at high speeds.
- Droid Mission Bays: holds up to a thousand of the following droids
- 20 Probe / Drone Deployers
- Bulwark: Like the original Fanladi, the Fanladi II 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. Additionally, the Fanladi II also has a Starlight Scutum shield system and a Phalanx Shield System, making it exceptionally difficult to take down on the battlefield.
- Mobile Base: In many ways, the Fanladi II more resembles a spaceborne base than a warship: much of the interior is devoted to providing living quarters and logistical facilities to the hundreds of small craft and thousands of troops onboard. A single Fanladi II can provide enough small craft and troops to take over many Mid Rim worlds by itself.
- Command & Control: The Fanladi II has five separate bridges and multiple communications systems to coordinate all of the small craft and troops carried onboard. While one bridge is dedicated to running the ship, three of the other bridges are solely used by flight control personnel while the last bridge is reserved for use by the troop commanders.
- Low Agility: The Fanladi II is not a particularly fast or agile craft due to its size and the sheer bulk of passengers and cargo it carries.
- Weak Firepower: Designed primarily as a support ship, the Fanladi II does not place a great emphasis on carrying firepower of its own, instead relying on its onboard small craft and troops to provide its offensive punch.
The Fanladi II is an upgraded version of the Fanladi-class Star Carrier used by the Directorate. By using compact Proton-8 reactors and increased levels of automation, the Fanladi II is able to support several more squadrons of small craft as well additional shield systems, improving on the original's already formidable defense. Other improvements to the carrier include a variety of systems designed to enhance the vessel's carried forces, including a support droid bay, an engine system that boosts the flight performance of nearby friendly small craft, hundreds of catapult pressors to quickly launch all of its starfighters, and shield systems that can be extended to protect and encapsulate friendly small craft. The Directorate doesn't have many Fanladi IIs, and those found in service tend to act as flagships for many larger task forces within the group.
