- 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.
- Mobile Fortress | The Torpedo Sphere Prototype is equipped with a variety of strong defenses such as Anti-Starfighter and Anti-Capital Ship weaponry, a strong hull consisting of various durable materials and various layers of shielding which combined enable the Torpedo Sphere Prototype to withstand even the harshest of punishment from the enemy.
- Sophisticated Stealth System | Through a combination of it's Phalkt Metal Hull and the advanced array of stealth systems and sensory countermeasures installed onboard, the Torpedo Sphere Prototype has the ability to become invisible to the naked eye and the sensors of hostile warships in an unconventional method of stealth that can't be picked up by the conventional means of detecting stealth ships.
- AI Advancements | Like most recent ships produced by SularenCo, the Torpedo Sphere Prototype is outfitted with AI Technology which has reduced the amount of crew needed to keep the vessel operational, while also increasing the efficiency of the Torpedo Sphere Prototype.
- Limited Mobility |As is the norm amongst large Imperial Warships, the Torpedo Sphere Prototype lacks any significant mobility, which could be exploited by enemy forces who can easily outflank and encircle the warship if it is not careful enough in battle.
- Exposed Flanks and Rear | Due to most of the Torpedo Sphere Prototype's offensive weaponry being concentrated at the front of the vessel, it's flanks and rear are completely vulnerable to continued enemy attacks by enemy forces that manage to outflank the mobile battlestation.
- Ion/EMP Vulnerability | Due to it's increased use of AI Technology as compared to previous warships designed by SularenCo, the Torpedo Sphere Prototype can easily be overwhelmed by Ion and EMP Weapons which can affect the performance of it's AI and even knock out the Torpedo Sphere for minutes or even hours.
- Little Starfighter Escort | For a vessel of it's size, the Torpedo Sphere Prototype lacks any significant starfighter escort only being able to field seven squadrons of starfighters in battle, resulting in the Prototype relying on escorts for protection against starfighters at all times.
The FD-2 Torpedo Sphere Prototype is an upscaled version of the Loronar Corporation's Torpedo Sphere originally utilized by the First Galactic Empire centuries ago, first conceived by Marlon Sularen during the final days of the Second Great Hyperspace War as a means to challenge the Alliance Fleet. Equipped with twice as much missile launchers then the original Torpedo Sphere and carrying all sorts of unique types of ordinances each capable of dealing significant damage to enemy targets, the Torpedo Sphere is a force to be reckoned with capable of rapidly overwhelming planetary shields and the shields of enemy warships in battle, potentially even having the capability of dealing significant damage to ships as big as Star Dreadnoughts.
In addition to this, along with the standard extensive array of defenses that are common among the vessels built by SularenCo, the Torpedo Sphere has been equipped with a variety of AI systems which has fixed most of the technical issues the original Torpedo Sphere constantly faced during the Imperial Era. However despite all these strengths, the Torpedo Sphere is still limited by it's limited mobility, it's frontal-focused offensive weaponry and it's lack of significant starfighter escorts which require it to be supported by a considerable escort fleet at all times in order to compensate for such weaknesses.
Nevertheless the Torpedo Sphere's capabilities as a platform for long-range missile strikes and planetary bombardments still enable it to become a force to be reckoned with on the battlefield against enemy fleets and fortified planets despite all these drawbacks.
