COMBAT INFORMATION

• Strengths:
  Powerful Command Ship: The Behemoth is one of the most powerful dreadnoughts ever to grace the space lanes of the modern era, and serves as the personal flagship of the Sith Emperor. Bristling with weapon emplacements dorsal and ventral, the Behemoth has often been cited as strong enough to comprise its own fleet.
• Capital Ship Combat: All of the ships in the Emperor's Fist are geared towards capital ship combat, with powerful turbolasers capable of delivering high quantities of damage to any ship unfortunate enough to veer into its path.
• Hyperspace Tracking: The Behemoth is outfitted with bleeding edge hyperspace tracking technology, enabling the Emperor to hunt his enemies even after they enter hyperspace. This makes escaping the Behemoth and accompanying vessels all the more difficult.

[*]Weaknesses:

• Weak Anti-Starfighter: While each ship in the Emperor's Fist is immensely powerful, they have very little in the way of dedicated anti-starfighter weaponry. There certainly is point-defense across the Behemoth's hull, but not enough to provide a full defensive screen.
• Cumbersome Support Ships: Each support ship in the Fist is there to protect the Emperor's flagship, and never travel out of formation with the titanic dreadnought. This means that the destroyers can't achieve maximum forward momentum when in motion, having to deliberately slow themselves to stay in pace with the Behemoth.
• Only One Carrier: With the four supporting Xim-class Battlecruisers possessing zero hangar space for starfighters, that leaves only the Behemoth as the single starfighter carrier in the entire formation. And while the Behemoth can churn out just over forty starfighter squadrons, having it all localized in one ship isn't the best strategy.

Description:

The Sith Emperor valued all things that epitomized strength and superiority, which was encapsulated by the sheer titanic nature of his flagship, the Behemoth. The very presence of the dreadnought was enough to inspire both dread and awe in his subjects and enemies alike, its distinct dagger-like silhouette the herald of many a rebel's doom.

Where the Emperor traveled, his flagship was not far behind. Following that was a support fleet of varying size and pedigree, the mainstay being a small formation known as the Emperor's Fist.

Comprised of the command ship Behemoth and four Xim-class Star Battlecruisers, the Emperor's Fist was not wholly designed to serve as a dedicated war fleet; as it lacked many of the essential cruisers and frigates that made for a well-rounded assault fleet. No, instead the fleet maximized the terror of Imperial arms and served to emphasize the Emperor's mighty command ship.

None of the Xim battlecruisers possessed the ventral hangar bays of their smaller destroyer cousins, with all of that freed up space being utilized for more powerful weapon systems, energy generators, and layers of reinforced armor. The only hangar that could launch starfighters was located on the Behemoth's underside.

With an emphasis on capital ship weaponry, the Emperor's Fist was geared towards ship-to-ship combat over both long and short distances.

Captain Godfris, Secondary Captain of the Behemoth [Human Male]

Is there is a link for this character? If they are an npc, could you do a sub for them if there isn't one already? I just feel that notable characters for a fleet this size should have a link.

Other than that, this sub has all the links and info I need. Will add, isn't one of your people called the Emperor's Fist? I get confused, cause there's so many Emperor's somethings

He's a non-descript Human NPC.

I'm going to argue that the second in command, and defacto leader of your capitol ship is anything but non-descript. Because of the importance of the Behemoth, do insist on a sub for him.

 

[Darth Carnifex]

I would ask that you reconsider - there is no rule requiring me to make an NPC and I have never before been asked to make one when the response is "This is an average person with no special capacities".

In this case, there would be no significant information to put down and I am afraid it would be a waste of everyone's time. This is a place holder character, not meant to be doing great deeds or with significant back story or abilities.

I discussed it with another judge and we agreed that you don't need an NPC. There is nothing I can see obviously needing fixing with this so lets get your fist approved.

Pending secondary.
