STRENGTHS

• Powerful: The Independence-class is armed with numerous powerful primary and secondary weapons.
• Sturdy: With plenty of point defense weaponry and impressive defensive measures, the ship can endure heavy punishment.
• Management: Featuring an automated management system, the ship allows for minimal crew in order to function effectively.
• Retractable: Most of the secondary armament can be retracted into the hull to appear less threatening and fool enemy scanners.

WEAKNESSES

• Slow: As is typical with such big capital ships, the Independence-class suffers from low sublight speeds and sluggish maneuvering.
• Shields: The molecular shielding's capability is significantly weaker than those found in dedicated generators
• Conventional: Although numerous and powerful, the armament on the ship is fairly conventional and can potentially be countered quite effectively.
• Arcs: The armament is primarily distributed along the broadsides of the ship, leaving the rear vulnerable and the bow lightly armed with some of the primary and secondary weapon systems.

DESCRIPTION
The new Confederacy attracted a lot of powerful and prospective planets and corporations to its cause, giving it a strong economic edge but also painting a giant target on its back. Eventually mercenary and private forces will not be enough to protect the Confederacy’s borders and ward off its enemies.

A dedicated professional, independent military is imperative.

In response to these concerns and requirements, the Confederate Navy set out to design and produce its own ships and vehicles locally. The Independence-class Star Destroyer is among the first of these vehicles to be produced.

Drawing its design from its ancient predecessor from the Clone Wars, as well as the experiences of one of the Confederacy’s main beneficiaries, the Independence-class is a powerful and fearsome ship meant to be a bastion that stands between the Confederacy and its enemies. Featuring powerful weapons and robust defensive measures, the ship can take on most of what the galaxy has to throw at it.
