Design Specifications
The Centurion was designed not to replace the existing Destroyer Corps, but to suppliment it. Currently, though Destroyers alone pose a distinct threat to any enemy, they can be surmounted by massed attackers. It is as well designed to act as a practical waypoint between the Super-class Command ships and the Destroyer family warships.
The Centurion is designed as most Destroyers and set up in a similar fashion. However, she is not a wedge or dagger form. She is set up as aa diamond, with each aft seem angularly bent in to create six hull fronts, two bow, and four aft. The main landing and launch bay is forward on the ventral hull, with one massive maw taking the place of the standard two.
At nearly three and a half kilometers in length, the Centurion is larger than any other vessel which is tasked as a ship of the line. While she has the ability to act as a command and control center, she was designed for combat. Bristling with heavy and light weaponry, the new Destroyer is completely able to dispatch an enemy formation alone.
However, should the need arise for reserves, the Destroyer holds an impressive fighter compliment as well as two Avenger-class monitors.

Design Specifications
The Avenger-class is designed specifically with one profile in mind: suppliment the Centurion-class Destroyer. In its primary role, the Avengers can be deployed to act as pickets, raiders, fast attack ships - their speed is several times that of their mothership - scouts, or nearly any other mission. While they carry troops as a matter of course, some can be loaded to act as boarding parties and security personel, as well as supplimental gunners.
Aboard each Centurion, there are two Avengers, one starboard and one port in the launch bay. They have dedicated moorings and gangways, and no other ship can dock in their place without modifications, though any other Avenger can. They do not take up fighter space, as their hauling is design specific.
In Appearence, the Avenger is one long spar, with two sets of wings, one aft and one fore. The aft pair is larger, giving the first glace impression as a Hapan Nova-class cruiser. Her dive system as well as hyperdrive motivators are located aft of the primary hullspar, which bulges and thins as neccessary, towards the bow, midsection, and stern of the ship. Escape pods are located amidships.

Description
Orders were given to the Imperial Department of Military Research (IDMR) to design a heavy support vessel whose dedicated role was elimination of planet-based fortifications and defenses. High numbers of anti-aerial artillery had prevented Victory-class Destroyers and other atmosphere-capable bombardment platforms from descending. Barrage support from orbiting battleships had proven adequate but not successful. The great range at which the Imperial III- and IV- class Destroyers had to discharge their medium weapons prevented efficiency and any measure of accuracy; concentrating available Destroyers for Army support was considered by Command a waste of fuel. Heavy weapons were lacking in concentration to eliminate fortified positions, fortress belts, and bunker systems.
The Broadsword mounts nearly all large bore weapons, and concentrates them in battery clusters to provide EOT and FOF (Energy on Target and Field of Fire, respectively). Their range equals those of the Fleets ships of the line, the monitor merely concentrates them to provide a tremendous deal of support to surface operations.
The ship, however, has been designed with siege conditions or assault stages in mind: the presence of enemy fighter craft and small capital ships is not considered. In the occasion the ship is forced to engage, gunships and two fighter squadrons have been attached to keep fighters away. Large caliber weapons cannot rotate quickly enough to fire at faster ships. In addition, a small number of close in defenses, such as the quad lasers, have been added, though their presence is for an illusion of crew safety than its practice.
As well, the Broadsword is not intended for deployment alone or as a main-stay warship. Her speed at both sublight and hyperspace is much slower than that of primary-action cruisers, Destroyers, and battleships. Another factor in her deployment must be considered fuel availability. The ship carries in excess of oh-point-one million tonnes, but this reserve is for the drive system: due to the drain on the reactor from the heavy weapons, more fuel must be consumed to operate the reactor; the vessel is extremely blunt and heavy, increasing again consumption for the drive system. The ship is highly expensive to operate.
The Broadsword is a bombardment platform, and in this respect, be used in an assault role: her weapon compliment has proven more than sufficient to disable even the newly-released Golan X Defense Platform. However, small supporting craft and fighters must be kept at a distance by escorts. The hull armor, though thick, will not tolerate any more than three consecutive torpedo volleys (considered 24 warheads) at any one point after shield collapse.
Design is complete. Production on a prototype will commence upon completion of the Aurora-class Star Destroyer Anariah at tamylian.
Estimated Production Cost 155.000.000.00 Imperial Credits

Praetorian-class Main Combat Tank
Praetorian-Class Primary Combat Repulsortank
Designation Main Battle Tank (MBT)
Length 8 metres
Height 3 metres
Width 3 metres
Armaments
- Kruppx ZZ887 High-yield Lasercannon 210mm bore
- 2x Kruppx JU887 Light repeating blaster cannon (anti-personnel)
- Taim&Bakk AA light concussion missile launcher
Defenses
- Medium Armor-Deflector Shield
- Kevvlarr Armor Tri-layered 150-300mm thickness
Speed 50 kph
Hull 80 RU
Shield 45 SBD
While slightly slower than most other combat repsulortanks, the Praetorian is heavily armed with the most powerful energy-based primary cannon in the Imperial arsenal. Her range of operations is great, and the range of the primary weapon exceeds eight kilometers against armored or fortified targets. One light blaster on either side of the turret wards off any unwanted infantry should grenadier support be lacking. From the left-dorsal side of the turret adjacent the commanders hatch is a single missile launcher, which can target and destroy and local aerial vehicle. The weapon is all bust useless against other surface vehicles, but very potent in its own.
The tank itself is an elongated repuslor platform with the drive system located aft of the turret, and the turret itself mounted atop a delta-shaped superstructure; it is a long triangle as well, with curved angles and sloped armor.
Each round for the primary weapon is self contained, allowing a general power failure to affect its performance insignificantly. While the targeting system itself would be inoperable, the weapon itself could be fired manually

In appearence the Aurora resembles the Executor-class Super Star Destroyer replete with dagger-handle aft hull projection. The ship's superstrucutre begins amidships and runs slightly into the handle with the typical command tower atop.
- Note - The command twoer is modified and set up in a delta form with the standard generator domes at the aft angles. A flag bridge is located between the domes with other command sections within the thin, triangular structure.
The ship is heavily armed with strong heavy batteries and projectile launchers. The shields are powerful and the hull thick, and the engines powerful enough to move it. In hyperspace as well as realspace, however, she is as mobile as the Broadsword. The Aurora-II has lighter armor and the same gun compliment and as a result much faster.

4 Laser Gatlings. One on each side of the blister, and all parallel with each other. Since they're parallel, they sit on a bar. That bar, along with the gatlings, can rotate ninety degrees, so the gatlings can get a shot at anything relatively on the same plane. They also pivot up and down.
Occult High Yield Proton Torpedo Arrays: In the hull for most of the time, these only come out to quickly empty a dozen quite powerful torpedoes and up to two Diamond Boron missiles before submerging again to reload.

In appearence the Aurora resembles the Executor-class Super Star Destroyer replete with dagger-handle aft hull projection. The ship's superstrucutre begins amidships and runs slightly into the handle with the typical command tower atop.
- Note - The command twoer is modified and set up in a delta form with the standard generator domes at the aft angles. A flag bridge is located between the domes with other command sections within the thin, triangular structure.
The ship is heavily armed with strong heavy batteries and projectile launchers. The shields are powerful and the hull thick, and the engines powerful enough to move it. In hyperspace as well as realspace, however, she is as mobile as the Broadsword. The Aurora-II has lighter armor and the same gun compliment and as a result much faster.

Special Technology:
Weapons Blister: A weapons blister is a blister protruding from the hull of the ship, heavily laden with weapons. Such weapons are, per blister:
2 Quad Turbolasers, attached, on the highest point of the blister. Full rotation.
4 Laser Gatlings. One on each side of the blister, and all parallel with each other. Since they're parallel, they sit on a bar. That bar, along with the gatlings, can rotate ninety degrees, so the gatlings can get a shot at anything relatively on the same plane. They also pivot up and down.
Occult High Yield Proton Torpedo Arrays: In the hull for most of the time, these only come out to quickly empty a dozen quite powerful torpedoes and up to two Diamond Boron missiles before submerging again to reload.
