Vegemite Star Destroyer (Actual ship may be more pink than it appears!) Ship Class: Heavy Star Destroyer Ship Role: Battleship Ship Length: 3,550 meters Agility (A): 1 Defensive (D): 3 Offensive (O): 5 Speed (S): 3 Special Gear: 1 Self Destruct 1 Prow Ram
Description:
Standard Equipment:
Mk4 Fire Control System Anti-ion Emission Tracer Animated Metal Sealant Inertial Compensators Main Sublight Drive Anti-Concussion Field Generators Military Deflector Shield Generator Repulsorlift Arrays Molecular Furnaces
Hangar and Maintenance Facilities 96 Small craft
Support Facilities Space for up to 3200 troops
Armaments
Primary
Ventral Fire-Linked Ion/Plasma Cannon
Secondary
Extendable Prow Ramming Spike "The Cuke"
20 x Kyber Focused Long Range Turbolaser Batteries
30 x Kyber Focused Turbolaser Batteries
50 x Heavy Ion Cannon Batteries
Point Defence
100 Quad-Laser Turrets
The Vegemite Star Destroyer's toughness and overlapping fields of heavy fire are key to her success, as she is not the most agile of capital ships due to her sheer mass. She is designed to fight against a hostile galaxy, and be the herald of doom for the enemies of the Vegemite Enclave.
The state of the art heavy destroyer of the Vegemite fleet is based directly off plans for the Xyston-Class, though modified by Mandalorian shipwrights for use by the Vegemite Navy. Key to the success of this vessel is high automation, which allows for it to function with a very limited crew, with most personnel on board functioning as support for the troops and fighters.
Her main weapon is a huge linked ion/plasma cannon, which draws power directly from the main reactor, allowing for a huge damage potential, firing a large ion pulse followed by a massive plasma blast; similar to that on the Aggressor-class. Turbolasers and Ion Cannons augment this colossal firepower. For point defence, the ship has one hundred quad-laser turrets and space for almost two hundred fightercraft. With all this power, a self destruct option was necessary, to prevent the craft falling into hostile hands.
Additionally, the vessel is equipped with a twenty meter long deployable prow ram, nicknamed 'the cuke' by the Vegemites, able to pierce the shields and hull of enemy vessels and cause maximum damage. The bow of the vessel is heavily reinforced to assist in this favoured tactic; often a prelude to boarding operations.

Only long range ion cannon I could find belongs to a ground vehicle. So might have to make those regular ranged ion cannons. Also, given the power source needed for the mass drive cannon and the turbolasers, I don't think you can have 50 long range batteries. The Megador which is a ship two times its size (I usually go off the assumption that the Megador is Super-class size, 8,000 meters) utilized only three cause this form of turbolaser draws immense power. Even on Imperial IIs (like the Anakin Solo, which had four), there was a noticeable drain. Wookieepedia mentions that, due to the immense drain, the Anakin Solo had to shut down all non-essential systems before firing and their recharge rate, as a result, was slower than average. Don't think the kyber crystal would help much in this case. Fifty of these, you'd likely not be able to fire the impressive gun OR likely these couldn't be fired while the main cannon below charges and fires. Hell, I would more worried if it can fly while trying to fire. Most seen was the modified Executor which has ten for its size, and over six times its size, but it also its armament is altered from a regular Executor to compensate.

Nicademus Delvardus IV No worries, i've edited out the long range ions, and put a caveat in the description regarding having to choose between LRTs and the main cannon.

I don't think there is a long range mode, I think its one or the other, can't switch between the two.
I still do think fifty is a lot for the reactor. After all, the Anakin Solo was two times smaller, but could only handle 4 and the Megador, three times larger, could handle three. I feel like a ship this size could handle 4 to 8. I will see what other RPA and community members think though.

I guess this setup can work, given that the operator has to choose between one or the other. So Approved!

I struggle with this. You have more points here than the Cannon ship its based on. If this was a one off, I could see it. But you intend on this being your main line Heavy. The Reinforced prow on a ship that is relatively immobile is kind of an odd choice. I also would want to go a step farther than Nic. I feel you could either use the Big gun and have no smaller weapons, or just the standard weapons.

Standash Thul It's a new design based off the Xyston in that its a triangle ship with a supergun, i figured this being larger by half would have more armament. I can see the reason for having to choose between using supergun or regular weapons in RP. The prow ram is intended to be rather specialised which is why i put a point into it.

So a couple new clarifications are being made in terms of 'superweapons'. We are gonna confirm that all superweapon grade tech is to be counted as a point. However, all superweapons are to be restricted only to canon ones. They will not be available for any custom submissions. Your supergun will need to be removed from the submission however you are still free to use something like that in a closed RP scenario.
