Strengths:
- The Tho Yor class Attack Vessel is capable of fulfilling multiple roles that would otherwise be spread out across multiple vessels. This means that it can serve as a carrier, an attack vessel, the carrier of a planetary invasion force, or as a patrol craft, etc etc. This is due in part to the Terminus Imperium requiring a vessel that can serve multiple roles that multiple vessels would otherwise drain their resources.
- It's size and relatively simplistic design permit the vessel to be rapidly constructed and fielded. This allows the vessel to be rapidly produced in a short span than many other vessels of its class or style.
- The vessel is a Jack of All Trades and a Master of none. It's ability to be multiple vessels is also its downfall as it lacks the hallmarks and otherwise full capabilities of more dedicate vessel classes. This leaves the vessel both strong in its ability to fulfill multiple roles, however at the same time it leaves the vessel weak because of that same ability often causing it to be stretched thin.
- The vessels' design is comprised of two pieces, the central control, and the outer super structure that wraps around the vessel. This outer super structure is where a large amount of the vessels' weapons reside, meaning that it is possible to knock the vessel out of combat by destroying the support structures that link the outer super structure with the interior vessel spire.
Designed and taking its inspiration from the ancient Tho Yor vessels, the Tho Yor class Attack Vessel is one that is meant to fulfill multiple roles. The primary design is the internal pyramidal vessel, designed to imitate the Tho Yor vessel. This primary structure is the location of the vessels primary systems, including shield controls, various hanger bays, the bridge, medical bay and access to quarters and cargo bays that are all spread out throughout the pyramidal structure.
The external super structure that wraps around the vessel and connects to it through a series of support struts, allowing access into the structure for maintenance and weapons control, houses the vessels weapons. This structure is designed to spread out the vessels weapons in an attempt to provide overlapping firing arcs, from both below and above. Though there are still blind spots in this design that a starfighter could easily exploit.
Within the pyramidal structure is the main hanger bay, which holds a single squadron of starfighters and up to eight Kesh class Modular Transports. These hangers maintain the vessels small compliment of vessels that it carries, as well as offers support from mechanics and droids. The hanger bays that hold the Kesh class Modular Transports are large enough to allow for those vessels to be reconfigured by the on board crew.
An additional feature of the vessel is its fully equipped medical suite, that includes a handful of Bacta Tanks, and medical beds for treating injured individuals. While mainly used to take care of minor crew injuries, the suite does see the brunt of its activity during ship to ship combat, or when it is receiving injured personnel from planetside. This medical suite also includes medical droids, and a fully equipped operation theater.

Intent:
The Tho Yor class Attack Vessel is intended to serve as a unique cruiser and staple attack vessel of the Terminus Imperium. It's ability to serve in multiple roles is intended to mirror the Terminus Imperium's current political situation, in which every vessel must be stretched to the limit of its capabilities, thus forcing the Terminus Imperium to rely upon vessels that can serve in multiple roles as mirroring their limited resources to produce a more varied fleet of multiple vessels with dedicated roles.
