- All standard features
- Aside from standard weaponry the KHICC is equipped with a Gravity Well Projector allowing it to pull ships out of hyperspace and prevent jumps within the vicinity. Although featuring only one being designed to be used in groups, this allows the ship to prevent ships from suddenly jumping out of combat. And can be used to stop enemies from leaping to important targets via hyperspace, essentially creating a sort of hyperspace barrier when active.
- Long range/high quality sensor and encrypted communication equipment
- Designed to work well with systems like the Saberdroid Starfighter and its transfer of information. Although lacking the same level of AI, it is designed to process and provide information just as quickly and give the crew faster information and suggestions.
- Fairly well armed for its size, featuring 10 quad laser cannons and 2 ION cannons. The ion cannons are primarily designed to handle closely grouped fighters or other larger starships.
- Gravity well allows it to pull ships out and prevent hyperspace travel within a vicinity
- Large hangar space
- Flak guns for close proximity projectiles or too close ships
- Shielding and armoring for standard defenses.
- Best equipped for group work
- Sensor and comms equipment
- Weak AI for information transfer and processing, can provide some suggestions to crew. Incapable of autonomy.
- Not very fast or maneuverable
- Gravity well impacts allies and enemies
- Weak AI is incapable of autonomy and generally at best only provides suggestions and well organized information. Crew still required.
- Reliant on support craft due to only average defenses and weak mobility. Working with other corvettes and other ships is also advised.
- Designed to be used with other Interdiction Corvettes as it features only one Gravity well instead of the four seen on models such as Interdictor-class_Star_Destroyer.
- Most of its weaponry is with the expectation of fighting ships freighter or higher, mostly higher. While the flak guns could hit very close range ships, they would have gotten in range sooner, and they are unlikely to do much damage to anything bigger than a fighter. The ION cannons in particular are meant for bigger and slower craft, or craft very grouped together.
The KH-ICC is not much different from many mass production combat ships of its class, with its only notable changes being the addition of a Gravity well and the use of ION cannons. It’s design was to allow use in large quantities for relatively cheap prices, and low crew requirements. Though possessing an AI, it primarily serves as an aid to the crew rather than any replacement. This ship was made to work in tandem with other forces, as part of the Elysium Battle-Line Synergy Project. Although the Katitik Hive retains the option to sell to other parties, it's primary purpose was to be used in groups rather than solo making it a useful starship for larger groups such as the Elysium military.
