Description:
While mainly relying on starfighter power, the Rebel Alliance still needed a considerably weaponized cruiser to defend its small fleet. Therefore, the Inevitable-class cruiser was developed.
Knowing that the small Rebel fleet could not last against a major navy, the Alliance’s strategy was to hit hard and make it count. Heavy warhead launchers were established on the Inevitable-class vessels for a quick and decimating attack, while a quartet of heavy long-range ion cannons were installed to disable enemy vessels before they could bring considerable close-range harm to the Rebel Alliance fleet. Four batteries of quad heavy turbolasers were finally added for when the situation would require to ‘go in for the kill’. Flak cannons and point defense stations were naturally added to defend against quicker targets.
A wide variety of fighter and bomber craft are compatible with Inevitable-class hangars, but the maximum capacity is limited. The docking bay and hangar doors have been reinforced with impervium as these would be the most likely point of concentrated enemy fire. Steam-powered catapults for some of the Alliance’s more unique and limited starcraft have been installed in the hangars.
The interior is designed with safety and comfort in mind. Twelve ECHO Sterinull suites and two patient wards accommodate the injured and sickly. Each section of the ship is compartmentalized by airlocks and blast doors and is maintained by independent life support systems, thereby enabling inhabitants to survive should one segment of the should be destroyed.
These battlecruisers are decent challengers to the heavier ships of opposing fleets, but their engagement abilities may falter against the speedier frigates, being vulnerable to multifaceted and concentrated attacks. Generally, they will need escort ships-of-the-line to defend against harassing frigates.
The Inevitable-class ships were constructed in sections on Sanctuary. Each section was then launched into orbit and attached to the other components.
