Description:

After the capture of Geonsosis by the Confederacy and the absorbing of the majority of its factories by Zev Stargo, plans were put in place to create a massive battle cruiser for the CIS. The cruisers would be completely built by Geonosian workers with Geonosian aristocrats and scientists overseeing the productions. New CIS technologies would be built into the ships to create the ultimate CIS weapon.

The GDBC is made of three layers, the outer layers made with Geonsoisan stones and lead composition to render internal scans of the ship useless, under that is the actual protection of thick layers of durasteel followed by a secondary layer of natural rock that makes up the interior of the ship. The CIS could have easily replicated the anti-scanning techs without the stones, but the Geonosians insisted on the implication of the rock. The interior of the ship is designed like the internal workings of a Geonosian hive, full of winding catacombs and tunnels that are no problem for a Geonosian to navigate. The ship is meant to hold a small hive of Geonosians, complete with an aristocrat, workers and warriors and minus a queen.

Workers provide the running of the ships weapons, engines and internal systems while warriors act as security and pilots and finally the Aristocrats as captains. The ship uses 2 Heavy and 4 light Stargo Enterprises Ion Engines for movement and a large Ion drive for power. The Geonosians have also built a single Large Ion Drive for back-up power in case of a failure of the first. The rest of the ships general power comes from a Ionization Core that runs internal life support, weapons, scanners etc. This core is not backed up but is located in the center of the ship in an area resembling a queen’s chambers and is the most guarded part of the ship. In true SE fashion, the bridge is located in the center of the ship for optimal protection. This causes the pilots and commanders to use a series of camera on the exterior of the ship for control. However, there is a view deck on the top of the ship just in case.

Weaponry wise the ship is covered in an arsenal meant to give it a maximum range of firepower. The bow is fixed a Magnetic Accelerator. The MA is hidden within the interior of the ship and its barrel protrudes slighty from within. The cannons use a magnetic repulsion to launch Tungsten or Durasteel projectiles. These projectiles can be fitted with explosives and other enhancers for maximized effect when making impact. Other armaments include 50 Double Heavy turbo laser, 50 heavy turbo lasers, 10 Double Heavy Ion Cannons, 20 Heavy Ion cannons, 70 point defense laser cannons a single warhead launcher and four proton torpedo tubes.
