STRENGTHS

• Battleship: The Imperial XI is designed uniquely as a ship-of-the-line that can dish out long-range fire, while also getting down and dirty in close-range knife fights. She doesn't shy away from having her broadsides battered as she punches through enemy shields and armor.
• Highly Automated and Symbiotic Linked: The Imperial XI is highly automated thanks to its N&Z systems, but similar to the ships before it, Imperial engineers opted for less automation in the bridge. Using the FAE/S-07 Symbiotic Ghost Link allows its bridge crews to truly multitask. Due to the "Brain Strain" that this system creates, there are three bridge crews, typically a morning, night, and backup crew. This counts up to just about a standard bridge crew, but a reduced number on the bridge at one time allows for swapping if one bridge crew member is injured.
• Limited Self-Repair: Since the hull is made from an alloy that includes fyrirdögun, the hull itself and, by extension, the armor have limited self-repairing capabilities. Allowing the XI to stay out in the field a bit longer after encounters than previous iterations.

WEAKNESSES

• Highly Automated and Symbiotic Linked: If the internal AI were to be compromised, the low personnel count would make it hard to counteract this imbalance causing the functionality of the ship to decrease significantly. Additionally, while there are three different bridge crews, if one station were to have all its members injured, the station would be unfulfilled, making the ship's overall function decrease.
• Rear Vulnerability: Just like all Imperial classes before it, including the Ten-Six, the Imperial XI is lacking in aft-facing weaponry. While improving from its direct predecessor by adding a handful of turbolasers to its rear-facing weaponry, if flanked, she'd be at an extreme disadvantage.
• Slow: Unlike her direct predecessor, the Ten-Six, the XI traded in her speed for maneuverability. As such, her sublight speeds are not favorable.

DESCRIPTION
The Imperial XI-Class Star Destroyer represents the next evolution of Imperial warship design, conceived by Karl Von Strauss to surpass the aging Ten-series. A masterful fusion of overwhelming firepower, subtle agility, and battlefield resilience, the XI-Class is built to dominate engagements across the stars.

Armed with cutting-edge weaponry from N&Z Umbrella Corporation, Vandemarian Techwrights, and First United Astral Engineering, the XI-Class is equipped to face threats ranging from enemy Star Destroyers to nimble bombers and starfighters. Its arsenal includes a formidable array of turbolasers, megamasers, beam cannons, and flak guns, ensuring devastating firepower in both fleet battles and skirmishes.

One significant departure from the Ten-series is the reconfiguration of its concussion cannon loadout. Rather than the previous dorsal spine-mounted twin cannons, the XI-Class features four cannons arranged in a trapezoidal formation along its dorsal side, optimizing firing angles and coverage. Additionally, after the subjugation of Hast, Imperial engineers acquired blueprints from the pirate lord-controlled ISD-II Void's Hunger, which housed a Proton Beam Cannon. Now integrated into the XI-Class, this devastating weapon shreds through hulls and armor with ease, though it remains less effective against shields, its destructive potential against unprotected targets is exceptional.

The XI-Class boasts a dramatically enhanced defensive suite over its predecessors. Its matrix armor plating, an alloy of trimantium and fyrirdögun, offers unparalleled durability, while its advanced shielding system ensures superior resilience in prolonged engagements. At its core is the N&Z SSP-SEPTIMUS Shield System, comprising seven interchangeable shields and two fixed-state defenses: a Xythan shield and a molecular shield, providing layered protection against all kinds of attacks. Augmenting this is the IMPS Cyclonic Variable Deflector Shield, a revolutionary system that deflects incoming kinetic projectiles rather than absorbing their impact, effectively slinging mass drivers and solid slugs away like a cyclone. A host of additional countermeasures further reinforces the XI-Class, allowing it to withstand relentless fire while continuing to deliver punishing retaliation.

Designed as the workhorse of the Authority Navy, the XI-Class serves as both a fleet command vessel and a frontline destroyer. Whether spearheading a sector-wide campaign or engaging in brutal skirmishes, the XI-Class is engineered to secure Imperial dominance across every battlefield.

More than just a warship, the Imperial XI-Class Star Destroyer stands as a testament to the legacy of Imperial engineering, ensuring the iconic dagger-shaped silhouette remains a symbol of power for generations to come.
