[SIZE=9pt]Strengths[/SIZE][SIZE=9pt]:[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]·[/SIZE][SIZE=9pt]Heavy Defense: With an additional power cell, the systems control flows the additional energy of this extra cell to shielding, and shielding alone. The power cell was able to be added for the need of organics was not necessary, so less space within the hull was needed for movement throughout the ship. This model of ship also has a thick hull compared to some other ships.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]·[/SIZE][SIZE=9pt]Hangar Space: Without the need of organics, the ship’s hangars were expanded slightly in design, allowing for a couple of transports or a few (at least four) additional fighters.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]·[/SIZE][SIZE=9pt]Broadside: Under closed hatches along the side of the cruiser there are hidden Turbolasers that can unleash a powerful broadside strike.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Weaknesses[/SIZE][SIZE=9pt]:[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]· [/SIZE]Armament:[SIZE=9pt] With the increase in armament, and an additional power cell which is only focused toward shielding extra power from the original power cells must be shared more thinly. This means the energy overall within the ship would be drained more rapidly. This also means the ship is slightly slower when firing then it usually would. It's only armament is [/SIZE]effective[SIZE=9pt] against large ships, but fighters prove effective at evading fire.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]· [/SIZE][SIZE=10pt]Shield Opening: When firing the SPHA, the shield is partially opened around the cannon on the underside as to provide maximum firepower from the weapon, which can allow a strike against the cannon as it charges. This could cause a chain reaction, damaging the front half of the ship.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]· [/SIZE]Crew Size:[SIZE=10pt] Due to most of the inner hull being replaced by other things such as hangar space and additional storage space and the added power cell, there is less room to house crew. However, the entirety of the crew is made up of droids and other automated [/SIZE][SIZE=13.3333px]crew members[/SIZE][SIZE=10pt].[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Description[/SIZE][SIZE=9pt]: The Obsidian Fist is a salvaged Star Destroyer, something that took to WD-334's liking as the droid always favored Imperial make. Thanks to LOOM, owned by a fellow Metal Lord to WD, the ship was reconstructed with additional armament and another power cell. With the added weapons it could pack quite a punch, and with the SPHA, it could target unshielded targets and unleash a powerful blast which also leaves the ship vulnerable around the underbelly weapon.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]The war droid went on to name this ship after it's first, the Tartan cruiser Obsidian which was to later become more of a front line ship.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]The refitted Star Destroyer was designed to be WD's flagship amongst the fleets of the Metal Lords, however is only the second ship owned by the droid. It would be the beginning of it's own fleet's expansion. Despite having such a powerful armament, WD designed it to be more of a defensive ship.[/SIZE]
