Strengths:
- We Are Legion -
Hidden in the belly of the beast is over a million deactivated droids, each ready for combat the moment they are awakened. From the Southstar's mainline capabilities, to the Droideka's motorized cavalry like support, there is within this ship the capacity to take an entire world should it not be properly defended. With hueristic processors, and weapons capable of decimation, the droids aboard the vessel are no joke, and serve an extreme challenge for anyone who faces them down.
This massive payload is achievable only because the droids are collapsable and require no barracks, messhall, latrines, or various other aspects within the vessel. With everything dedicated to strictly housing this 'sleeping army', room had been opened immensely to keeping every single one open to stuff them. The only other systems required for the survival of the droids was the quick deployment systems towards the middle of the ship.
[*]Minute Rice -
- The ship is filled with 'assembly lines' of automated machinery that pulls from long storage lines of droids, activates them, and sends them on their way out of the vessel. Although not instant by any means, the ship is capable of deploying half of its payload within 3 hours compared to a number of more humanized models that may take up 6 or 8 to partially deploy. This allows the vessels to come in fast, unload fast, and take off just as fast; able to fill temporary gaps in enemy defenses with an army. It does however take a full 10 hours to deploy the full payload of the ship; something to mind for every instance it is seen.
Weaknesses:
- Ion Kryptonite-
As it is a ship made entirely of droids and droid accessories, there is absolutely nothing stopping someone from either hacking the system as a whole, or assaulting the system with ionized radiation to cancel out the entire vessel's drop off. Nearly a million droids would be destroyed in a moments notice from even a single strike from a strong enough Ion based capital weapon, and would decimate a planetary assault long before it could even begin. Although shielding helps prevent this, it is falliable and does not sto the fact that this could easily be overcome and destroyed with little more than the pull of a trigger.
[*]Pacifist? -
- To make up for the vessel's aggrandized cargo, all secondary systems have been cut out. There are no rooms for living soldiers, no place for secondary measures to be taken into consideration. This ship is singular in purpose, and that is to drop off troops; as such there is also no defensive weapons aboard. The ship has no hanger bay, nor defensive emplacements to allow it to protect itself, and is entirely at the whim of an escort at any given point. Should an escort fail, so too should the ship they were meant to defend.
[*]Focused Design -
- Because of the way the ship was designed, there is no option for modularity in its production. The ship can hold no different types of battledroids, no different cargo. In this vessel, there is but one layout, and that layout alone allows for it to be capable to do what it does. Unless a complete redesign is taken underway, this vessel will begin and end with its current loadout, from birth to death. When the day comes that its loadout is outdated, then so too shall it be; letting it fall by the wayside as all that had come before.
Description:
As Jaeger Solutions and Aegis Systems continue to expand, so too do they continue to bring new innovations through both of their means. From the many military applications Aegis helped produce through Jaeger’s guidance, the day has come where Aegis offers Jaeger something new and exciting for the world of war. Today, Jaeger solutions releases the astonishing Planetary Assault Vessel known as “Planet Cracker”.
To revolutionize the way a number of factions in the galaxy commit to war, Jaeger has introduced a vessel to completely change the way it is done. With droids capable of learning on the spot, and winning wars on their own, each vessel offers not only a victory, but a chance at a new beginning for the people of the planet you landed on. To say the least, calling them ‘Liberators’ would be nearly as accurate, depending on their moral usage.
On the opposite spectrum, these ships could control an entire planet through immediate campaigns. If there is even a lapse of judgement in the planet’s defenses, and a singular vessel is allowed through, then a planet could be considered compromised almost instantly. In truth, this is the only strength of the vessel, its only true power. Everything else about this is completely negligible, or a weakness.
That is the entirety of this vessel, its ability to hold droids and droids alone; and it does that job well.
