Eternal Fleet Warship

Ship Class: Battlecruiser
Ship Role: Warship
Ship Length: 804.3 meters
Agility (A): 2
Defensive (D): 2
Offensive (O): 3
Speed (S): 4
Special Gear: 2 (Troop Space, Cloaking)

The Eternal Fleet warship was the main ship of the Eternal Fleet, a fleet of ships controlled by the sentient GEMINI droid units. The Eternal Fleet was entirely composed of hundreds of warships of this class, which operated in precise patterns and were so fast in hyperspace that only ships equipped with isotope-5 could keep pace. The Cruisers were also equipped with stealth technology and Skytrooper boarding pods. Armed only with 8 double turbolaser cannons, the effectiveness of the Eternal Fleet warship is best utilized when the entire fleet attacks in a coordinated assault. Not overly tough in terms of defence, the Eternal Fleet warship is an incredibly fast warship. Carrying 30 Skytrooper boarding pods, they are used to cripple or disable enemy combatants. Relying more on speed and stealth to decimate an unsuspecting enemy rather than taking an enemy on in a straight up fight, the Eternal Fleet was capable of coordinating on such a level that most enemies had difficulty matching its combat effectiveness.

And I feel we should clarify how extensive the cloaking system is.

Well, it's first worth noting that Isotope 5 was needed in other ships for them to be able to keep up with it. But even with that said, I'd argue that their hyperdrives are probably on par with modern day tech anyway, so no real need to get specific on them.
starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Isotope-5

As far as cloaking goes, I know this is something of an older article/ruling/guideline, but maybe something worth using for the discussion: boards.jedivsith.com/thread/2154/official-regulations-cloaking-stealth-technology

Currently, there are two materials that exist in Star Wars that exhibit some characteristic of being able to cloak a ship from sensors and/or the naked eye. The two different cloaking materials and their regulations:

Stygium: This is the primary and more powerful form of cloaking with the advantage of not having the 'double blind' concept. However, due to it's canon rarity, can only be used on ships of dimensions less than 501 meters.
Hibridium: This is the more common form of cloaking material and can be used on any vehicle, of any length. However, this form has a 'double blind' side effect which, when turned on, cloaks both the outside and the inside of the cloaking field. Thus, making the pilot blind to the outside world. Along with this, as the size increases, the ability to cloak diminishes. *

(copying contents here since this is somewhere deep in archives)
Basically, it can cloak, but it has a drawback of the 'double-blind' effect. Just something to consider in the discussion.

Edited the Isotope-5 bit. In terms of cloaking, the 'double-blind' effect is acceptable, however given the fact that the entirety of the Eternal Fleet is controlled by sentient droids, I suspect that this effect would be greatly reduced. Yes it would still be a penalty, but not as severe as it would be with say, an organic sentient pilot.

However, I am not sold on this idea, so if we need to create a ruling on it, I will do my best to compromise.

I mean, there are plenty of ways to mitigate that issue (good sensor scans before hand, sentient droids that are interconnected). But given that these things take up like 32 points (or 64 points if you go by simply rules), you'll have between 4 and 8 of these making up a fleet and nothing else. I don't think anything is going to be too OP.

In closed RP, that could be a different matter entirely. Closed RP abides by slightly different standards than Open RP though, so I don't think we'll run in to too many issues either way.
