Special Features:
Kyber Modules: Found through out the Vanquisher, are kyber crystal focusing modules. Hundreds are situated throughout the ship, from engines to the weaponry, to the shields. All of which are put in to efficently focus power, to increase the output. Whether this is through increasing shield effectiveness and duration, turbolaser accuracy, and power or engine power. The kyber crystals are vital to the design, to make this vessel, the cutting edge of First Imperial technology.
Secondary Hypermatter Generator: Complimenting the first generator, sits a secondary generator which acts to solely power the shield generator and engines. While the first generator powers the impressive weapons systems of the vessel, the secondary generator acts to keep the shields up, long after any other vessel of this size has them, and continue churning ahead at full speed, while all weapons are firing.
Strengths:
Description: The Vanquisher-class Star Destroyer is nicknamed by some in the Navy to be little more than the imperial-x mark II, and those officers are not wrong. Following the First Order’s defeat over Skor, the First Imperial Navy learned lessons regarding tactics, but also found a few small victories. One of those, was the performance of the FIV Malice, the command ship of the engagement, and a Resurgent-class star destroyer which had been heavily modified with kyber crystals. Decidedly, High Command decided that the design which had almost punctured a hole through a fleet nearly three times it size, ought to be replicated, and distributed on ships of similar size.
The Vanquisher is aesthetically speaking, the exact same size and shape as its imperial-x counterparts, and that is because it is. The Vanquisher is essentially an extensive refit of the ship. One which updates the shield emitters, and weaponry to ensure that the ship, although carrying a similar payload, has the capability to punch well above its weight in terms of receiving, and returning damage. The key to this is hidden within each, and every point defence laser, turbolaser and ion battery aboard the Vanquisher-class. And that key, is kyber crystals. Refined, and melted down into slag, and then fitted into focusing modules to increase accuracy and power.
Kyber crystals have also been put into the engines and shield generators, to increase output. This along with the secondary hypermatter reactor which is solely dedicated to running both of those systems, as well as boarding countermeasures, allows for an increased allocation of power to redundancy systems. This unfortunately comes at the cost of a mechanised garrison, and subsequently, the ability to deploy armies from orbit.
Internally, the ship has systems which act as countermeasures to secure the ship against incursions by boarders. Autoturret defence systems, bulwarks, and tungstoid doors, and panelling defend vital systems. These include, the engine, both hypermatter reactors, the life support system, hyperdrive, bridge and sensor array. The tungstoid acts to nullify the effect of lightsabers, and the sealing of multiple bulwarks acts to trap the enemy, and force them back to the hangar, or sectors which can be safely vented.
The Vanquisher is ultimately a statement on the determination of the First Order.

Strengths:
- ·Twinsies!: The twin hypermatter reactors work to allow even more efficiency in all systems.
- ·Faster Than She Looks: Although she’s a larger ship, the Vanquisher can outpace and outmatch most ships of her size, and even outrun some cruisers. Armed with kyber imbued engines, she’s a ship that aims to get up in the enemies grill, as soon as possible.
- ·Kyber Weaponry: Each and every turbolaser on the Vanquisher is armed with kyber imbued weaponry. This enables the weapons aboard the ship to have a more accurate, but more importantly, a bigger punch.
- ·Kyber Defences: Armed with kyber crystals in the shields, and point defence weaponry, the Vanquisher's shields are primed to tank ion, and turbolaser damage with little issue.
They Came From Behind!: As with nearly all ships of its size, the Vanquisher suffers from a distinct lack of defence from the rear, and relies on other escorts to pick up the slack there.
Explosive Finish: Kyber crystals are a volatile material, and should the engines, or any batteries be destroyed, it will be quite an aesthetically beautiful finish. Tearing a hole within a ships hull.
Small Garrison: There is a limited supply of stormtroopers, and soldiers aboard the vessel. This may prove to be a detriment in boarding operations.
It's Getting Hot In Here...: Due to the volatility of kyber crystals, it is necessary for batteries to hold fire after successive bursts to ensure that the crystals don't overheat. Otherwise, the results may be.... explosive.
Limited Fighters: The limited fighter compliment is a trade off for more reactor space. This means that there is limited room for fighter to fighter combat, particularly given the First Order’s enemies penchant for throwing as many fighters as possible at a problem.
