ADVANCED SYSTEMS
- Repulsor Ion Arc Reactor aka R.I.A.R.
- Automated Navicomputer and targeting systems
- Shield Disrupting Projector
Strengths:
- Very High offensive potential due to the heavy ion canons, spread out point defense system and automated targeting systems.
- Very high defensive capacity due to the R.I.A.R.'s near limitless energy, allowing for double layered and secondary shielding, molecular and thermal shielding and use of carbonite and lamina steel for strengthening purposes.
- Highly automated vessel, needing far less crew than comparable ships, allowing for greater troop transport and for more accurate jumps and calculations.
- Very low maneuvrability: Due to the heavy weight of both the heavy ion pulse canons and the R.I.A.R. this ship is not suited for speedy maneuvres.
- Very Low Speed: Due to the heavy weight of both the heavy ion pulse canons and the R.I.A.R. this ship is not capable of exhilerating speeds and relies more on shockpower rather than agility.
Designed to be a large, intimidating starship to position itself between the Allegiance Class Star Destroyer and the old Princeps Heavy Battle cruiser, The Predator is relying on the best the EMS have to offer in the form of their high technological Repulsor Arc Ion Reactor and their Taurus Mk I heavy ion pulse canons, but also mitigating some of the older ship's issue through the use of different metals for the inner components to raise the original weakness against EMP and ION projectiles to be more on par with less automated ships. The use of the Shield disruption projector also helps for combat against smaller, speedier ships to have a trump card in case of a stalemate. All in all, the Predator is the first of a new and improved line of battleships coming from the Eriadu Manufacturing Shipyards.
