SPECIAL FEATURES
Heavy Weapons Mounts
Strengths:
* Powerful first strike weapon systems - The Procursator-class mounts a large array of heavy weaponry designed to knock out a ship rapidly with overwhelming power.
Weaknesses:
* Lightly armored - The vessel has a much thinner grade of reactive armor than other IFW capital vessels.
* Weak against light caps - The main capital weapon systems on the Procursator-class are designed to inflict maximum damage to targets and have difficulty tracking faster light capital ships such as corvettes and pickets.
Description: The Procursator-class is the third vessel in the Star Destroyer line built by Imperium Forge Works. Based on the centuries-old design by the same name. The Procursator-class has one propose, to close with the enemy and engage at medium to close range. It's heavy guns are set so they have optimal forward and flank arcs allowing the ship to engage as it moves into the middle of an enemy formation then bring its entire battery to bear on them. A ventral hanger, set forward of the ionization dome, can accommodate twenty-four fighters and has a small area for guest shuttles to land. Three fusal ion drives accelerate the class to formidable straight line speeds making the class well suited for pursuit missions. This also allows the class to move into close range with enemy vessels where it can utilize its massive weapon load more productively and accurately.
The Class utilizes state of the art technology as well as solid design principles from the previous vessels of its design. Advanced frame and armor give the vessel the ability to absorb massive amounts of damage before being affected and seeing any operational effects. to decrease the cost of the class for mass production the Molecular shielding normally found on IFW vessels was removed and replaced with light redundant ray and particle shielding which protects the ship from damage. While capable of standing up to any threat the Procursator-class has a much thinner layer of EMNERA Star Ship Armor plating than larger IFW warships and relies on its array of large weapons to knock out an enemy before its weapons can fully come to bear on the weaker hull. This makes the Procursator-class well suited for rapid hit and run missions and close fire suppot for command ships.
Like it's larger sibling the Aurora, The Procursator-class utilizes powerful Proton-8 reactors which are built into ejectable quardranium steel casings. Power is shunted from the reactors into a massive bank of energy capacitors banks with redundant regulation and emergency diode shunting shutoff systems. Each capacitor is equipped with a dedicated overcharging system to help stabilize the massive amounts of energy needed for weapons and shielding.
The Main Battery of the Procursator Mk X-class consists of three powerful HAT-100 assault Turbolaser Batteries. These powerful weapon systems are mounted as turrets along the Dorsal hull just forward of the command structure. Assisting these massive weapon systems are IFWXX-12 Heavy Turbolaser and IFWNK-8 Heavy Ion batteries arrayed along the rim of the ship all with full fore and flank fire arcs. These large weapon systems make up the main offensive payload of the Procursator-class.While they offer very powerful anti-capital ship capabilities they leave the ship open to medium and light warships whose speed and agility can outmatch the large weapon systems tracking speeds.
For defensive duties, the Procurator attempts to make up for its blatant weakness against corvettes by utilizing IFWL 301-C Anvil-class Missile Batteries to combat smaller vessels and attack craft. These quad missile turrets can retract into the hull for protection when not in use and fire multiple types of warheads when needed. To assist these in anti-attack craft duties the Procursator-class is equipped with IFWRH-12 Heavy Laser Turrets, IFWNK-4 Light Ion Cannon Turrets, IFWAG-4 Hexlaser Turrets, and IFWRL-4 CIWS Turrets. This mixed armament is situated on the dorsal and ventral hulls and covers the ship in a full 360 degree sphere of protection against everything from armed freighters to incoming projectiles. While the vessel fares well against large ships and attack craft the weapons load is still very ineffective against fast moving corvettes and pickets.
