STRENGTHS
Brawn Hilda: Her Righteous Indignation is a battlecruiser through and through, capable of withstanding a high level of punishment and dishing out even more in return.
Lightning Bruiser: The HRI is very fast and maneuverable for a vessel of its size, having been built to slip in, unload and slip out of engagements.
WEAKNESSES
Devil in Plain Sight: Her Righteous Indignation is not meant to be a subtle presence on the edge of the system and clearly no attempt has been made to make it one. It doesn’t even have a hint of subtlety or stealth about it. While great for living up to that Imperial Golden Era Tarkin Doctrine, it does make this vessel an all too obvious target.
Rush Boss: While certainly tough, the HRI is not designed for prolonged close-quarter engagements with fellow battlecruisers. It operates best when it can utilize its surprising speed and agility.
Short Lived Fighter-Launching Sequence: Low Fighter Count for a vessel of this size and class.
DESCRIPTION
One of a trio of vessels constructed during the waning months of Verin’s tenure at Kuat Drive Yards, Her Righteous Indignation (HRI) was designed to be very much a throwback to the Imperial glories of old. In short everything that went against the warden code: A vessel that would come to exemplify the Tarkin Doctrine’s core tenant of striking fear into the hearts of those unlucky enough to be caught in-system with it.
With that in mind, no effort has been made to make this vessel anything but an imposing and blatantly obvious presence. Instead it has been fully outfitted to wage a rather brutal, lightning campaign of violence upon its foes, with no expense spared in creating and fine tuning the immensely powerful engines to place it well above many other ships of the class. Long range ion cannons, interdiction projectors and communication jammers are utilized to disable, stall and cut off any would be prey while it catches up to them. Allowing it to bring to bear the plethora of turbolaser/megamaser batteries it has at its disposal - or perhaps the null-burst projectors should the captain wish to take them alive.
While initially meant to augment the neighboring Republic Naval forces, an enterprising Admiral from the Humbarine sector managed to secure the vessel for their own purposes, no doubt spiriting it away to establish their own despotic fiefdom in some hellish corner of the galaxy. Attempts to commission another vessel of the class have been effectively destroyed by the all too frequent raids and destruction on the orbital rings, creating yet another blemish on KDY’s record during this all too turbulent era.
