Galaxy's Foremost Theorist

"The K-90S Storm Carrier represents the newest generation of Military Hoverbarges, distinguished as the first of its kind to possess such extensive armament and protective shielding. Its capabilities on the battlefield are virtually boundless when operated by a competent tactician and a proficient crew. However, it is important to note that it is not entirely flawless, and additional field tests may uncover unforeseen weaknesses. " - Dr.

- Heavy Firepower -
- Equipped with numerous turbolasers, heavy cannons, and missile launchers, the K-90S Storm Carrier provides formidable offensive capabilities. Its wide array of weaponry makes it ideal for both ground and air assaults, as well as ship-to-ship engagements.
- Superior Defenses -
- With heavily reinforced armor and redundant shielding systems (including ionic and deflector shields), the Storm Carrier is built to withstand sustained enemy fire, making it highly durable in combat situations.
- Large Capacity -
- The carrier's vast capacity for troops, droids, and vehicles allows it to deploy large numbers of forces in a single operation, making it a potent tool for planetary invasions or large-scale assaults.
- Advanced Sensor and Countermeasure Systems -
- The inclusion of sensors like the missile deactivation transmitter, sensor scrambler, and electronic countermeasures ensures the Storm Carrier can evade or neutralize incoming threats with precision.
- Low Maneuverability and Speed -
- Due to its immense size, weight, and heavy armor, the K-90S Storm Carrier has poor speed and maneuverability, which makes it vulnerable to faster, more agile opponents.
- Crew-Intensive -
- Despite its size and capabilities, the carrier's operations demand a relatively high crew complement to manage the numerous systems and coordinate deployment, which can create bottlenecks in battle scenarios where crew members are overwhelmed.
- Vulnerability to Specialized Anti-Armor Weapons -
- While its armor is heavily reinforced, it remains vulnerable to specialized anti-armor weapons, such as ion cannons or concentrated missile barrages, which could breach its defenses and disable critical systems.

The K-90S Storm Carrier was designed as a modernized version of older storm carrier design from the mind of Doctor

One of the most significant upgrades was the weaponry, with a combination of fast-track turbolasers, mass driver autocannons, and advanced shielded cannons, all designed for quick and decisive engagement. This was paired with powerful shielding and armor, ensuring that the carrier could take on massive amounts of fire without succumbing to damage.
The Storm Carrier also incorporated state-of-the-art electronics, sensor systems, and countermeasures, ensuring that even in the face of modern warfare technologies, the K-90S would remain a formidable force. The design also considered the practical deployment of troops, with large cargo space for vehicles and soldiers, as well as an efficient droid system that could assist with maintenance and battlefield support.
Despite its massive firepower and defenses, the K-90S Storm Carrier's weight and low maneuverability proved to be its most significant drawback. However, it made up for this weakness by being an unparalleled force for planetary invasions, blitzkrieg tactics, and siege operations.
