Strengths:
- Heavy Armament: Like other Imperial and First Order vessels, the Victory X-class has an increased amount of turbolasers, permitting it to deal with any enemy threat, be it pirates or an enemy faction.
- Heavy Shielding: Alongside its healthy compliment of turbolasers, this heavy cruiser boasts above-average shields, allowing it to take hits as well as return them.
- Medium Armor: Made out of a rather thick durasteel hull, the ship can withstand an average amount of turbolaser blasts, with some titanium-reinforcement in certain areas like the bridge and the reactor bulge.
- Concussion Missiles: Armed with numerous launchers and stockpiles of warheads, the Victory X-class can pierce ray shields of enemy shields, but still being destroyed by standard particle shields.
- Lack of Fighters: Carrying no TIE Fighters, the Victory XI-class lacks support, allowing enemy fighters to exploit its blindspots.
- Slow: Like other ships of the Order's arsenal, the Victory XI-class has a slow speed and maneuverability for a ship of its class.
- Lack of Aft Weaponry: This cruiser only has 10 point defense laser cannons covering its stern, allowing fighters and capital ships to destroy it from behind,
- Missile Storage: While stored under titanium-reinforced durasteel, the missiles are rather close to their launchers, allowing the entire stockpile to explode if the launcher is hit the right way.
Carrying an impressive amount of turbolasers and concussion missile launchers, the Victory XI-class boasts the ability to dispatch enemy ships as a mainline heavy cruiser, being backed up by equally impressive deflector shields. The hull itself is almost fully durasteel, with some parts of the ship such as the missile storage and the bridge being reinforced with titanium.
While magnificient as a fleet escort and cruiser, the Victory XI-class still has a few notable weaknesses. The first and foremost being the fact that it can field no TIE Fighters due to space being taken up by ground forces, armor, and missile storage. Another flaw is its slow speed and manueverability, which coincides with the lack of weaponry in the stern section, a common problem in Imperial ships that has issues being rectified due to space restrictions.
Though one of the most fatal flaws this ship has is in fact one of its advantages, carrying a missile stockpile for each launcher and reinforced by titanium-durasteel, if the launcher explodes at just the right angle, the entire stockpile can go up in a fiery inferno that could severly damage the ship.
The advantages do outweigh the disadvantages though, making this a deadly adversary to face in large numbers on the battlefield. May the First Order us it to its full destructive potential.
