ADVANCED SYSTEMS
STRENGTHS
  • Interdictor: The Iron Halo is equipped with a series of powerful and well-defended Gravity Well Projectors, allowing the battlecruiser to interdict the space around half of a planet to prevent hasty escapes and pull ships out of hyperspace into the waiting maw of the Iron Halo's cannons and its supporting fleet.
  • Carrier: Dorsal and Ventral hangar bays allow for a large number of starfighters to be contained within the Iron Halo's belly. Around twenty-four starfighter squadrons of varying size can be launched to attack any aggressor vessels or trespassing ships at the whim of the battlecruiser's commander.
WEAKNESSES
  • Weak Offensively: Designed to guard, rather than to attack, the Iron Halo has little in the way of dedicated offensive weaponry and instead relies on support ships and starfighters to fight against enemy vessels.
  • Low Speed: The ion engines on the Iron Halo are noticeably weak, and seem to barely propel the warship through the empty void of space. This is primarily due to the fact that the Iron Halo was not made to chase other ships down or engage in fleet-to-fleet combat, instead focusing on acting as the watchdog of Commenor at the behest of the Sith Empire.
DESCRIPTION

When the Sith Empire forced the capitulation of Commenor through violent invasion and outright coercion, they knew that the people of Commenor and like-minded systems would not stand for the sight of the Imperial banner flying high over the Commnori Royal Palace. Nor would they stand for the permanent planetary garrison or the various orbital installations maneuvered to monitor and contain the Commenori on their own homeworld.

The Sith needed a symbol of unshakable might to instill fear and obedience into even the most belligerent Commenori native.

So they created the Preventor-class Interdictor Battlecruiser, christened as the Iron Halo.

The four-point-two kilometer long warship was outfitted with state-of-the-art gravity well projectors and a unique dual dorsal and ventral hangar bay system that could easily funnel starfighters into open space to combat enemy craft. Combined with powerful shields and well entrenched anti-starfighter weaponry, the Iron Halo was the Empire's best bet on maintaining their influence across Commenor.

If you'll move this section to the armament area please.

A single ship isn't likely be able to cover an entire planet, though it could probably cover a half of it. The issue is that gravity wells wouldn't likely be able to be projected through a planet to appear on the opposite side of the world.

Additionally, a gravity well doesn't necessarily prevent precision micro-jumps. In canon, the opposite is true: people, notably Thrawn and Ackbar, use artificial gravity wells to execute precise micro-jumps.
