ADVANCED SYSTEMS
- 220-SIG Tactical Sensor Jamming Device
- Advanced ECM & ECCM Systems
- The Ticsuti boasts a military-grade sensor jammer, capable of disrupting enemy sensors, targeting computers and communications in the area.
- Boasts advanced Electronic Warfare systems, aimed at supporting craft by disrupting enemy vessel systems as much as possible.
- Moderate weapons and defenses, certainly not its specialty.
- The Chiss Hyperdrive navicomputer systems are susceptible to interdiction effects.
- Prominent bridge makes obvious target.
- Limited ranged capability with main turret weaponry.
- Rear of vessel more vulnerable to attack, with limited defensive weaponry angling that direction.
The Ticsuti-Class Star Destroyer is a very common sight within the Chiss Ascendancy, and primarily serves as a patrol vessel. It is not uncommon to see this ship on the edges of Chiss space, protecting against incursions by hostile forces - usually smaller bands of pirates or criminals. Armed with an impressive array of sensor, targeting computer and communications jamming equipment, its main strength is providing support to more powerful vessels of the CEDF. However, against its usual prey, the Ticsuti is able to handle most small confrontations through its weapon systems and squadron support.
Equipped with the new standards of the Chiss Ascendancy, including targeting and signaling systems and hyperdrives, the Ticsuti is a formidable Star Destroyer capable of defending against smaller enemy vessels or low-scale threats to the boundaries of the Chiss regions. And when reinforcing and offering support for specialist vessels, the Ticsuti proves its worth by disrupting enemy vessels and providing starfighter cover.
All in all, an advanced EWAR using and capable patrol vessel, able to handle small-scale confrontations; though it higher powered weaponry or defenses, has shortcomings against anything larger and must rely on larger vessels to protect it.
Update log:
- Removed hard numbers for hyperdrive speeds (x1.25 and x15)
- Corrected weakness of interdiction effects to navicomputer systems, not physical hyperdrive itself
- Added updated support craft hangar information
- Added Nssis-Clawcraft X and FC-15 Bomber links to squadron list
- Altered classifications from Destroyer to Cruiser, including thread title
