- Shield-Buster: Three massive dish arrays focus ionic energy generated by luxum crystals into a powerful beam designed to significantly weaken, if not completely disable, planetary shields. This is achieved via a highly localized blast of ionic energy aimed at the shield's weakest point to send a surge to the generator powering the shield. This could either cause the generator to rupture or force it to reboot.
This can never be used to immediately call a planetary shield being brought down instantly without the other side's cooperation.
WEAKNESSES
- Specialized Weaponry: Akin to three giant ion cannons on a stick, the Ruin-class Siege Breaker was designed with one purpose in mind, to directly attack planetary shields to facilitate an easier invasion of the planet's surface. As such, the only other weaponry it possesses are point-defense cannons and anti-missile octets meant to combat fight attacks.
In the formative years of the Sith Empire, many nations clashed against one another in a struggle for dominance. The Dominion fought against the Resurgent Empire, and the Silver Jedi fought everyone on all fronts as the Sith began their return to their ancestral heartland.
At the battles of Serenno and Ossus, the enemies of the Sith resorted to using planetary shields in an attempt to blunt the Imperial assaults or deny them landfall outright.
Though each battle ended in a victory for the Dark Side, it revealed a vital weakness in Imperial strategy; they had no means of breaking through the shield in an efficient manner. Imperial scientists and engineers worked for years after those battles, studying ionic technology and how best to utilize it in the capacity of neutralizing planetary shielding.
Following the acquisition of the Galactic Alliance's Warhammer Shield Cracker designs during the Sacking of Coruscant, the Empire refined it with its own technologies and designed a warship around the experimental weapon, christening it as the Ruin-class Shield Breaker Battlecruiser.
At five kilometers long, its one of the largest non-dreadnought warships in the Empire's navy and one of its most expensive. Production of duplicate ships was kept at an all-time minimum, with existing models to be used sparingly during engagements and only against planetary shields.
