The Dark King was commissioned at the same time as the Titan was, as lead ship of the new Armageddon-class Battleships, though with significantly larger dimensions to make it a capable flagship. The design was based on Imperial predecessors and offered very little innovation in terms of shape and external structure, though followed a very determined pattern for its interior. Its production was done swiftly and secretly, offering little in terms of exposure to anyone but those who actually built and the one who designed. Who happened to be the one who would call it his new flagship:
Darth Imperius
.Its weapons and defensive systems are made to directly engage enemy capital ships and entire fleet formations on its own, its armament capable of bringing swift destruction to even heavily armored adversaries while its multi-layered shielding, turtleback armor scheme covering the vital interiors with advantageous armor angles and honeycomb structure make it extremely durable. Though its purpose is to serve as a flagship and ship of the line, its complement and large storage are designed to serve as a mobile base of operations.
The Dark King can hold multiple Army Corps worth of organic ground forces, their accompanying vehciles and an even larger number of droids. It is designed to carry the might of the Hand of the Heir to where its destiny lies: in victory. Its compact industrial complexes can support its operations for as long as they are fed raw materials, while its soldiers can wage wars of conquest with just the Dark King in orbit supporting it. Aided by large hangars full of drop and assault ships as well as rows upon rows of drop pods, the flagship of the Heir is a dark apostle of what is to come. A herald of conquest.
The design and its construction are not merely feats of engineering though. They are the will of its master made manifest. Through the research and application of ancient techniques and technologes used by the Rakata, the ship itself draws power from the Dark side of the Force and subsequently spreads its influence on everyone who is aboard. Slowly but surely every soul aboard will embrace the truth of nature, the reality of conflict. The Galaxy must burn to cleanse the weakness.
In its heart lies the Sanctum of Darth Imperius, vast archives full of ancient relics and empty shelf-spaces which will be filled soon, a Sith meditation sphere that was forged through arcane Alchemy and multiplies the Dark Lords concentration and potency, the personal armouries of the Heir and his forges.
