PRODUCTION INFORMATION
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
STANDARD FEATURES
ADVANCED SYSTEMS
STRENGTHS
  • Shield Breaker | The Torpedo Sphere Prototype is equipped with hundreds of Ordinance Launchers, which are ideal for overwhelming the shields of enemy capital ships with massive barrages of missiles and torpedoes in powerful displays of overwhelming and devastating firepower that could even threaten larger fleet formations and even Star Dreadnoughts that have dominated the navies of the Final Dawn's enemies such as the Galactic Alliance and the Empire.
  • Mobile Fortress | In addition to it's powerful weaponry, the Torpedo Sphere Prototype is equipped with large amount of Anti-Starfighter and Anti-Capital Ship Weaponry allowing it to withstand attacks from enemy fleet. The Torpedo Sphere Prototype's Hull is also made up of Phaklt Metal which makes the large battlestation immune to energy weapons such as Turbolasers which will only be deflected off the hull of the Torpedo Sphere upon being directly hit by said weaponry. In addition to the powerful Anti-Starfighter/Anti-Capital Ship Weaponry and Phaklt Metal, the Torpedo Sphere Prototype makes use of a Shield Force Mutliplier which grants it additional protection against concentrated attacks from enemy starfighters and warships.
  • Sophisticated Stealth System | Thanks to it's Phaklt Metal Hull, the Torpedo Sphere Prototype is capable of reflecting all light and thus render itself visually invisible. In addition to this unique ability, the Torpedo Sphere Prototype is equipped with a considerable amount of advanced stealth systems and sensory countermeasures that allow the ship to remain undetected to the sensors of hostile warships. The combination of being invisible both visually and to the sensors of hostile warships, allows the Torpedo Sphere Prototype to close in towards unsuspecting Warships and unleash it's deadly payload in a potentially deadly strike.
WEAKNESSES
  • Limited Mobility | Due t0 the Torpedo Sphere Prototype's heavy focus on both Offensive and Defensive Firepower, a trait that is shared with many other Battlecarrier, the Torpedo Sphere Prototype is extremely slow and lacks any significant maneuverability which will allow enemy warships to outmaneuver the Torpedo Sphere and carry out attacks against most vulnerable parts of the Torpedo Sphere such as the Rear Engines which itself lack any significant defense from starfighters and capital ships.
  • Little Starfighter Escort | In addition to the Torpedo Sphere's limited Mobility, it also lacks any significant Starfighter Escort as it is only capable of supporting up to Four Squadrons of Starfighters which will force the Torpedo Sphere Prototype to rely on escorting fleets for any sort of starfighter support. However this will also render the Torpedo Sphere Prototype vulnerable to swarms of enemy starfighters that can easily pick apart their surface weaponry and target their vulnerable systems such as the engines.
  • Vulnerability to Kinetic Weapons | Another major weakness of the Torpedo Sphere Prototype is surprisingly also one of it's greatest strengths. Despite being immune to energy weapons and able to survive prolonged battles with warships solely equipped with energy weapons with little to no damage, the Torpedo Sphere possesses a significant weakness in the form of the Phaklt Metal's vulnerability to Kinetic Weaponry. Weapons such as Hypervelocity Canons can easily punch through the hulls of the Torpedo Sphere with a few shots being enough to tear the ship apart and either cripple or outright destroy the Torpedo Sphere.
DESCRIPTION
In response to the Galactic Alliance's recent incursions across the Final Dawn-held Maw Corridor such as their incursion on Batorine, a scouting mission on Foerost, attacks across the Corridor and instigation of an slave revolt on Xa Fel, and fearing a potential major GADF/NJO offensive against the Maw Corridor itself as a result, High Regent Marlon Sularen had his corporation, SularenCo begin work on a new devastating weapon that would provide the Final Dawn with the means to prevent a successful Alliance campaign to cut the corridor and potentially turn the tides back in the favor of the Final Dawn and to a greater extent the Brotherhood of the Maw. As such, his top engineers and technicians began the development of a secretive project, dubbed Special Project FD-2 in order to fulfill the demands of the High Regent.

The result of Special Project FD-2 was the creation of the Torpedo Sphere Prototype, an upscaled version of the Torpedo Sphere originally developed by the First Galactic Empire centuries ago. As part of Sularen's vision for a devastating weapon that could turn the tides of the war back in his favor, the Torpedo Sphere Prototype would be equipped with twice as much ordinance launchers then the original Torpedo Sphere allowing it to unleash devastating volleys of hundreds of missiles and torpedoes that could overwhelm the shields of enemy warships and even enable the Torpedo Sphere to go toe-to-toe with the Galactic Alliance's own Star Dreadnoughts. In addition to this powerful offensive weaponry, the Torpedo Sphere Prototype has also been outfitted with a Phrik Metal Hull making it invulnerable to energy weapons such as Turbolasers while also being equipped with large amounts of Anti-Starfighter and Anti-Capital Ship weaponry that would allow the Torpedo Sphere to withstand enemy attacks even when outflanked.

Confident that such a battlestation would be the key to securing the Maw Corridor and putting an end to the Galactic Alliance's ambitions to undo it, the High Regent of the Final Dawn now awaits the perfect opportunity to unleash this monstrous machine of war and pave a path of destruction upon the many foes of the Final Dawn as the Second Great Hyperspace War continues to rage on.
