Performance Report: The new Furious Droid Battleship is designed as a next generation of combat vessel. A few examples have already been seen, such as droid controlled VSDs at the battle of Almania. While these were moderatly successful, fifty years of new technology couple with daring new commanders opens the door for radical new designs such as the Furious.
The most radical change about this ship is that their is no life support systems, and crew quarters, except for gravity, and refreshment facilites of the kind needed for droids, such as recharge systems, and oil baths. While a ship crewed entirely with droids is a costly investment, it will pay itself off in the long run, considering that you don't have to buy as many consumables for the occupants, and you don't have to give them a salary. Another benefit of droids is that they aren't affected by morale, pain, and life issues that put stress on normal commanders.
For the ship design itself, the new diamond shape used on the Centurion seems to be popular, and with good reason. The extra width means that length can be kept to a minimum.
The armament is based on pure offensive firepower, the new Punisher Turbolaser system, and the tried and true Proton Torpedo Octects. Rounding out the offensive weaponry are the Heavy Ion Batteries. For arrangement of weaponry, the Starboard, and Port firing arcs are the most deadly, with either side being able to bring to bear 2 Punishers, 8 Proton Torpedo Octects (64 torps), and 10 Heavy Ion Batteries. The Forward firing arc is able to bring 2 Punishers, 6 Proton Torpedo Octects (48 torps), and 10 Heavy Ion Batteries to bear, while the Rear Firing Arc is able to bring 2 Punishers, 4 Proton Torpedo Octects, and 10 Heavy Ion Batteries to bear. The forward starboard and port arcs are each able to bring 1 Punisher, 5 Proton Torpedo Octects (40 torps), and 5 Heavy Ion Batteries to bear, while the aft port, and starboard arcs are each able to bring 1 Punisher, 4 Proton Torpedo Octects, and 5 Heavy Ion Batteriers to bear. Topside firing arc is able to bring 2 Punishers, 4 Proton Torpedo Octects, and 20 Heavy Ion Batteries to bear in any one spot, while bottom arc has 2 Punishers, and 4 Proton Torpedo Octects.
Because Ion Cannons would not only be able to short circuit the systems, but also the crews as well, a pair of Ray Shielding generators has been added to the normal complement of particle shielding, meaning that as long the Ray shields stay up, Ion Cannon fire will not affect the ship. Other defenses include Reinforced Durasteel armour.
Normal fighter facilites can hold only so many starfighters because of the large size of the starfighter, and because of human facilites needed to help the pilots get to their ships. With droid starfighters, and droid controllers/computers, that is all changed. A TIE/D fighter is only a third of the height of a TIE Fighter, and half the size of a TIE Interceptor. and because the pilot is permantly embedded within the cockpit, the starfighters can be stacked a top one another in racks of eight each. The hangar bay aboard the Furious can hold 18 such racks, giving it a complement of 144 fighters.
Finally, the Drive Engines on the Furios are of the destroyer size. They are arranged and powered in such a way that the Furios has a sublight speed of that matching an B-Wing, and is quickly able to turn around, which since zero-g forces are not an issue for droids, meaning the ship can pull off such a manuever, and still be fully combat ready. The hyperdrive on the ship can exceed even that of the VSD, making the ship a good rapid response unit to a sudden attack. These characteristics combined make the ship a good Mon Cal cruiser killer, an excellent ship for softening up the enemy, and a dedicated ship.
