ADVANCED SYSTEMS
- Multiple Molecular Furnace systems, enabling Manufacturing of weapons, armor, supply, and spare parts from salvage or raw materials
- Immense Defenses and Armament
- Upscaled version of the Solar Recovery System and Power Plant aboard a House Io Star Destroyer, along with other upscaled versions of systems also found on their Star Destroyers:
Enhanced Repulsor engines for hovering in atmosphere twice as long as most other Battle Cruisers
Enhanced Sensor Array allows it to detect threats at seven times the range of most other Battle Cruisers
Enhanced Solar and Gravitic Shielding make it able to get MUCH closer to Stars and severe gravitic anomalies then most other Star Destroyers and stay near them for Heavily extended periods without suffering damage
- Advanced Med bays, with Stasis Chamber Equipped Bacta Tanks
- Multiple Bacta Production Facilities
- Legion of Drones, capable of restoring to fifty percent functionality of the course of 14 days
- Non Networked Computer Systems
- Electrical wiring system composed of biological tissue, enabling it to self repair and making it difficult to tap or hack via Conventional methods, all based on those aboard a House Io Star Destroyer, but upscaled
- Neuroengine Dovin Basals combined with Hydrostatic Barrier tech enables it to not only hover in atmospheres and land (and walk) on planets, but go in oceans for extended periods
- Internal Defenses contain powerful weapon Suppression Fields that are capable of affecting even the damage output of Lightsabers.
- Heavy automation causes it to require only 1000 main crew members
- Vast internal Security Force
- Underside and sides contain Docking Ports for Corvettes and Frigates, as well as Destroyer type vessels and Space Stations
- Enhanced Barracks
- Detention Block containing Universal Energy Cages
- Why Won't You Die: The defenses of this ship make it extraordinarily difficult to destroy, even for ships twice it's size. It's Dovin Basals allow it to generate a form of Singularity Shield, which alone allows it to absorb tremendous damage. It's Deflector and Particle Shield allow it to survive hits from very powerful weapons such as bombs, turbo lasers, even rail guns. An Ion Shield rounds out it's primary defense capability. Possesses a powerful ship wide internal Weapon Suppression Field capable of selectively reducing the strength
- Guns of The Patriots: Very Powerful Armaments, which includes a list of the Following:
Turbolaser Style upscaled Phantom Laser Weapons, used for population suppression. Capable of bypassing most shields and armor without damaging them and are incapable of damaging Organic Tissue. Can only stun organics
Point Defense Laser Cannons. Capable of high damage to starfighters
Electromagnetic Rail Cannons, capable of doing lethal damage to Star Destroyers, severe damage to Battle Cruisers, and minor damage to SSD ships
Seismic Charge Dispenser, capable of doing severe damage to Star Destroyers and Battle Cruisers alike, or for orbital bombardment
Energy Torpedo Launchers, capable of severe damage to both Star Destroyer and Battle Cruisers.
A Massive, Battle Cruiser Grade Seismic Driver, capable of inflicting horrifying damage on a landscape with devastating Seismic shockwaves that travel outward (List ends here). Capable of heavily damaging or outright destroying one whole quarter of a city
- Self Reliant: The ship is powered by a similar power plant and solar recovery system to that of the House Io Star Destroyer, greatly upscaled for this vessel, enabling it to go at least four years without refueling, due to running entirely on Solar Energy, and can take in limited amounts of Hyper matter in an Emergency, allowing it to run for up to seven months. It possesses Molecular Furnace Facilities that produce weapons, armor, and spare parts from breaking down salvage and raw materials, multiple Bacta Production Facilities, Repair bays, and Advanced Med Bays with Bacta Tanks doubling as Stasis Chambers. Possesses advanced Life support measures such as enlarged healing field generators on every deck, radiation scrubbers, an electrical wiring system composed of bio organic tissue capable of self repair, similar to a House Star Destroyer, and a Legion of repair drones to restore it to fifty percent functionality after 14 days of repair along with all standard blast door and anti Hull Breach and fire Suppression systems
- Enhanced: It's quarters are all Enhanced barracks with modularity in mind. They all possess mini moisture vaporators, workbenches, and escape pods with built in Stasis chamber tech, capable of holding up to ten people each and keeping the occupants alive while adrift and in stasis for up to one month
- Speak No Evil: Encrypted communication system capable of frustrating even the finest decryption systems and wireless observation efforts through a constant cycling of frequencies and quantum level encryption for both inter ship and ship to ship communication
- See No Evil: Sensors are tuned to detect threats at 7 times the range of other Battle Cruisers, due to being based off the Sensor Systems of a House Io Star Destroyer, upscaled to a ship this size
- Do No Evil: Prison Deck containing Universal Energy Cages
- Fast Path Engine: A 0.5 Path engine enables it to go nearly anywhere in the Galaxy through hyperspace routes normally considered impossible, allowing for attacks from unexpected directions. Capable of jumping seven times in a row before it needs seven hours to recharge the Path Engine
- Invader: Can field an invasion force capable of seizing and holding a large city, with all accompanying necessary combat vehicles
- Fear Me: It's unusual, Organic like structure and unsettling, almost demonic appearance is capable of striking fear in even the most stalwart and experienced of Commanders and Soldiers.
- No Networking: Possesses no networked computer systems. Each individual essential system (Weapons, Tactical, Engineering, Engines, Resource Management, Defenses, Life Support, and Misc) is controlled by Brains from Model 3 Nuetralizers specially modified for the task, made resistant to wireless or direct hack attempts. This level of automation requires only what would be considered a Skeleton crew on any other Vessel
- Go anywhere: It's Solar and Gravitic Shielding allow it to get much closer to Stars and Black Holes than nearly any other Battle Cruiser is capable of and remaining there for extended periods. It's Hydrostatic Barrier and Construction, based off the Trident Assault Craft, combined with it's Dovin Basals, Storm barrier Generator and Landing struts equipped with magnetic grapplers, allow it to orbit, land and take off in atmosphere, even highly acidic or electrified ones, and even function as a submarine. All of this is due to the upscaled Technology from a House Io Star Destroyer
- Determined: Due to its ion and Repulsor engines being upscaled versions of the House Io Star Destroyer, the ion engines can run seven times longer than others in it's class, and it's Repulsorlift engines can hover twice as long in atmosphere
- Connectivity: Multiple docking ports
- Molasses: Slow Speed and turns
- Discharge: Best prepare for impact if you deploy Seismic Charges close
- Main Weapon Weakness: It takes up to seven minutes before the rail guns can fire again
- Recharge: The best time to hit it is when it's recharging over a star, as any damage it's solar collectors suffer will likely cascade down to the power plant, inflicting catastrophic damage
- Nebulas: In Nebulas, all it's defense shields drop to Average Strength
- Shield Recharge: other than the Ion Shield, all its other shields take twice as long to recharge as other battle Cruisers after depletion
- Repair Issues and Priorities: For repairs, it prioritizes engines, Path Engine, and Life support be restored first, shields and all other non critical systems dead last, and often used up most of its repair reserves in the process, necessitating either sending out scavenging parties or limping to a Drydock. It's also highly dependant on its Molecular Furnace Systems for spare parts and raw materials for repairs and if those are damaged, it's up a certain creek without a paddle as manual labor may have to be employed.
- Reaction Times: If the Model 3 Brains are disabled, the ship can still be operated is back up auxiliary consoles on the bridge and in Engineering, but the crafts ability to respond to threats quickly is greatly reduced
- Driver Risk: The Seismic Driver Rod mounted on is underside is thinner than other examples, and compensates by exuding as much force as possible when driving the tungsten rod downward. When firing it, while it may go down quickly, it retracts slowly, giving a chance for an enemy to fire, as the Cruiser cannot move until it has fully retracted and cannot fire it's weapons while doing so. Also, it's shields drop to average momentarily while it's retracting. A lot can happen in the full two minutes it takes to retract.
- Stellar Limits: It can only be much, much closer to Stars and Black holes for up to one week before it has to move,
- Underwater Limits: It can remain submerged for only a month before it has to emerge
The Rhand Class Battle Cruiser is House Io's Main Battle Cruiser, trading speed and turn rates for the most powerful armor and weapons available, which often have longer than normal ranges to compensate. A Powerful Space and Ground Invasion Battle Cruiser, this ship is named after the Tragedy at Rhand, where the world ship plunged into Rhand's surface after the now infamous Leviathan of Sev Tok fired on it, obliterating a Maw Asset (along with thousands of slaves) on the House's terms rather than the Maw's, demonstrating Xiphos's willingness to wage Total War in order to defeat an opponent. Nonetheless, as nearly all House Io's vessels are named after defeats the House suffered, it would seem that the Matriarch regards the results of Rhand as one of her biggest failures. House Io ships are named after defeats so that members of the military do not forget past failures, lest they build yet more ships named after defeats suffered because of refusals to learn from history
