Overview
The Vigilant-class was designed by Alderaan Engineering as its premiere Star Defender model intended for command and support operations rather than a line destroyer like many existing examples. Instead the vigilant focuses most of its operating power into its support role, where it excels in monitoring and intercepting communications, establishing contact with troops, starfighter squadrons, and other fleets in the area. However unlike most military vessels, the Vigilant-class seems to be designed half as a Patrol Destroyer and luxury yacht, featuring an elegant appearance with a curving split prow, ivory and gold colored plating exterior. Its interior features militarized areas, however the command decks and several passenger compartments designed with similar luxury features, white oval corridors, meditation pools, gourmet food processors, and luxury service droids. Its Staterooms are easily on par with even the finest star yacht’s luxury. The starboard side of the ship features a nacelle as an observation suite, akin to the Profundity's construction with glasteel viewports lining the bottom of a large congregation room. This nacelle has its own life support, power supply, and local area shielding though it has no real importance to the ship's function.
Defense
The Vigilant uses a military grade deflector shield array as its primary line of defense, using a sectional facing shield projector rather than the large domes of classic Victory and Imperial-class Star Destroyers. Its shield system is a shutter shield, designed to counter the dovin basal ‘shield grab’ attack, but also allows its shields to rapidly close after firing its Hypervelocity guns. To counter electronic warfare the Vigilant-class features enhanced targeting and sensor computers to cut through jamming beams and signal distortion. The vessels frame is a lightweight high-carbon alusteel compound to soak kinetic impacts and stress from acceleration and maneuvering. Its armor is an alternating vertical/horizontal Bronzium-Agrinium alloy with turadium reinforcing. Gold-Bronzium alloy and ivory colored plating cover the vessel to exemplify its regal appearance.
Offense
Offensively, the Vigilant-class is only mildly armed, roughly on par with any other Patrol Destroyer but split between several weapon types and combat roles, reducing its effectiveness in any one role but allowing it to support a fleet as an artillery destroyer, brawler, and anti-starfighter. Its primary armament is a pair of Mark 74 Hypervelocity cannons featured dorsal and ventral of the ship, able to fire to the fore of the vessel. Two dual Binary Fusion Ion Cannons and two dual Hypervelocity cannons support these with two port and two starboard mounts able to fire forward and split into the dorsal and ventral arcs. Two Energy Siphon cannons and ten batteries of oversized deck cannons form the bulk of its close range weaponry. A large array of point defense weapons are spread evenly across the hull of the vessel providing full area coverage in each weapon arc.
Operational Systems
The primary purpose of the Vigilant-class is to act and operate as a mobile listening post, much like a Skytop Station that moves. Thus it makes use of several powerful communications transceivers, subspace rectennas, long range hyperwave signal interceptors, an interrogator module, and HoloNet relay systems designed to intercept, receive, and transmit communications across large swaths of space and territory. These communication systems are located in two large domes along the vessel's spine with sensor dishes, rectennas, and communication arrays dotting the superstructure of the ship. This can be used to gather strategic data on an enemy by listening to their troop coordinations and fleet movements, defensively to predict and detect enemy fleets moving nearer to allied strongholds. It also allows the Vigilant-class to collect tactical data, collecting transmissions from enemy command ships allowing allies to possess sensitive data during a battle. As with all things, this aspect has its limitations primarily that communications have to be decrypted and ciphered before it can be useful.
Secondly, the Vigilant uses its communications systems to benefit its allies. With a listening post able to intercept and decrypt transmissions from many light years away, the vessel also contains the ability to establish secure connections with allies across star systems to allow real time tactical data transmission from one fleet to another acting as a battle coordinator for large scale campaigns.
All of this is fed through a data processing bank, a series of integrated, inter-linked super-tactical droid processors similar and based off the H.I.V.E. Processor of Mandal Hypernautics, the bank boosts the calculation capabilities of the Battle Analysis Computer linked to it allowing for increased speed and accuracy of targeting algorithms and filtering of sensor data, but most importantly vastly increases the speed and capability in which it deciphers intercepted transmissions. When used properly, the HIVE-enhanced Battle Analysis Computer is able to identify, track, and predict the movements of numerous ships across several star systems simultaneously.

Strengths:
- I Hear You: The main role of the Vigilant-class is to receive, intercept, and decrypt communication transmissions from radio, subspace, and hyperwave allowing it to monitor enemy communications and movements.
- Data Processor: The Battle Analysis Computer and HIVE Droid Processors are designed specifically to process the enormous amount of data collected by its communication systems, catalog and codify what it find. These also double as a data relay, allowing the Vigilant-class to be used as an intermediary for sending and receiving tactical and strategic data.
- Moderate Weapons: While the Vigilant can fight as long range support, anti-fighter, or as a brawler, it does not do any of these things very well.
- Aft Armament: The Vigilant has very few capital weapons, only a handful of its deck cannons, able to fire in the rear arc.
- Enhanced Speed and Maneuverability
- Advanced Communications Suite
- Listening Post
