Description: Using the old Arc Hammer project's templates, the best engineers in Solenbaran Diarchy's space revitalized the old schematics and design, issuing a one-of-a-kind new factory ship. Less ungainly and smaller than its predecessor -which had been half the size of the Executor itself-, the ship still could house numerous facilities, holding both a research center, large foundries and a small-scale but fully-automated shipyard capable of producing and fielding droid fighters, even in the middle of combat. However, it had been designed with the purpose of housing the Diarchy's robotic and exoskeleton research and the producion of Dark Troopers. The ship holds within itself the full assembly and production lines of the new Dark Trooper project, being able to deliver a payload of the said battle droids and exoskeletons on any planet it orbits, in a relatively short amount of time, with the factory itself mostly being self-sufficient. Actually, the whole production line is housed within the four cylindrical structures attached to the central wedge-like hull and -inspired by the Lucrehulk Core Ships- the cylinders are detachable fully-functional factories able to land in a planet surface and bring the Dark Trooper production to the fray in less than a standard rotation. 

The ship is armed with 71 heavy turbolasers, 72 heavy ion cannons, 126 point defense laser cannon turrets, 72 proton torpedo launchers and two tractor beam projectors, which is not much for a vessel of its size. To compensate, the ship has redundant shielding, provided by several non-exposed built-in shield generators, and a powerful thick hull, needed to protect the valuable factories and research facilities on board. Each of the detachable factories has 10 heavy turbolasers, 10 ion cannons, 20 point defense cannons and 10 torpedo launchers. Every of the four detachable factory ships include their own deflector shields, sublight engines and hyperdrive. When all four are detached, the remaining hull still fields 31 heavy turbolasers, 32 heavy ion cannons, 46 point defense laser cannon turrets and 22 proton torpedo launchers. To compliment its defense, the ship carries up to three fighter wings in four large hangar bays, 216 starfighters, most of them being TIE Droids produced in the very same factories the ship holds within its armored belly. The cargo bay is very significant, for it not only carries supplies, but also sufficient material to feed the industry on board allowing it to be mostly self-sufficient for months in a row. It can carry up to two full legions on board. Considering droids don't need as much space as living troopers the vessel can house a greater amount than it would be possible for a craft of its purpose and dimensions: only a fraction of the thousands of troops on board are actually living conscripts, most being engineered products of the factories themselves. A sizable porcentage of the ship's actual room is dedicated to house the members of the engineering corps, the factories' own personel and the extensive systems keeping the ship working. Crew requirements are kept under minimum as most systems are automatized and, thus, can be fully functional with a relatively small tripulation for a ship of its size.
