Description:

In the waning years of the Cold War, the Galactic Alliance saw the rapid increase of aggressive advances made by Imperial Powers. Realizing that war was gradually becoming inevitable, a combined operation conducted by the SIS and the Alliance's Military R&D Divisions conducted research into old archives, and the designs of other Imperial capital ships, to create a new Alliance capital ship capable of standing up to Imperial developments. Eventually, the design for the Incandescent Truth was conceived, and the Galactic Alliance worked in tandem with a section of SoroSuub Corporation to develop the starship in secret. With the operation spearheaded by an Alliance scientist known as Arvil Velhan, the ship was developed alongside a retractable proton-beam cannon which would serve as its primary armament.

The base model of the ship, which had been classed as the Potentate-class Star Defender appeared as a combination of Mon Calamari and Imperial designs, utilizing the best of both to create a new breed of star defender. Utilizing the sources of kyber crystals the GA had at its disposal from worlds such as Tython, Lothal and Devaron, the Galactic Alliance was able to design the proton-beam to be sufficiently strong in tandem with the star destroyer, combining both into the fearsome capital ship it is today. Shortly after the ship's completion however, Arvil Velhan was killed in a suspected Imperial raid, and his designs destroyed, ensuring that the proton beam could not be replicated or mass-produced in any manner, but the complete weapon remained aboard the Incandescent Truth.

Though the Proton Beam and its plans were lost with the destruction of the Incandescent Truth, the work on the Potentate-class Star Defender continued within the Alliance, and its primary weapons were instead replaced by a series of ventral autocannons, allowing it to maintain its considerable destructive capability both in space combat and orbital bombardment.
