Sith's Folly
SithsFolly2.png

Sith's Folly is an old Venator-Class Star Destroyer, formerly designated Republic's Might. Discovered in one of the wastes of Sriluur in the year following the Sith's rise to power, buried under 1,000 years of sand, it would serve as the perfect place for the Imperial Knights to stage their operations from.

Cocooned in a virtually water-less environment, the integrity of the massive Star Destroyer was incredible. Systems started with some ingenious Jerry-rigging, old fighters, dormant for the last millennia, with re-fabrication operated as well as they did during the Clone Wars.

The Imperial Knights, however, had no way to man the old Star Destroyer, and as such moved in as permanent residents, dismantling many of the ship's point-defense systems and wiring them in to the surrounding wasteland; laser-traps, sensor-arrays, torpedo-mines, and a dozen other forms of security were set up.

Many of the levels remain untraveled. With less than 1,000 Knights, vast swaths of space remain vacant. The command towers have been converted in to council chambers and War Room for the senior Knights; the hangar bays have been cleared out of many of the defunct vehicles and converted in to large training grounds; the ship's mainframe computer has been appropriated, using old Republic databanks, as the Imperial Knight's main archive.

As the Imperial Knights recruit more none-force sensitives to their cause, the empty rooms of Sith's Folly begin to fill, and the antiquated LAAT/is gunships, ARC-170 starfighters, and Eta-2 Actis-class interceptors, begin to see more and more use in the ever-present guerrilla war against the Sith.

Excalibur

Predator01.jpg


The Excalibur is a Predator-class Star Destroyer stolen from the Yaga Minor when the Imperial Knights raided the Yaga Shipyards and kidnapped Grand Moff Ein Morgenroete, whom the ship was made for. The ship had been designed to be capable of being controlled by several droid brains, commanded by an ADIM (Advanced Deus In Machina). This was a lucky break for the Imperial Knights, as Star Destroyers generally need hundreds of crewman. It became the unofficial flagship of the Imperial Knights.

The Excalibur has average weaponry for Star Destroyers, but makes up for it in defense and speed, reflecting its original purpose of defending the Yaga Shipyards. It's storage capacities are large, allowing for numerous space fighters, infantry vehicles, and droids, though was empty when obtained. Operations with Subach-Innes and Targus Industries are slowly filling its quota. As it was meant to also harbinger a defensive line in case of invasion, its communications equipment are advanced, allowing for intelligence gathering. The Excalibur has a cloaking function, but does not have the power to sustain it for days, thus is unoperational half the time.

As the Star Destroyer was built with droid majority, living quarters are smaller than most Star Destroyers. Thus, it can only hold four hundred people comfortably. One of the internal hangars has been refitted to serve as a training grounds.

Pallopides Estate​

Castle_by_angelreich.jpg

The Pallopides Estate was the estate of the grandniece of Emperor Palpatine. After her death, the estate on Ubuuqa was given to another grandniece. FOr centuries they lived on the estate cultivating the fear and hatred that came from his name. When the Sith returned the family was killed. Later on the Imperial knights snuck in and reprogrammed security allowing them inside. Since then the estate has been transformed into a hideout for the Imperial Knights, but is less used than Sith's Folly and Excalibur.

CCV Agamemnon

The flagship of the Deep Space Expedition Group, The Agamemnon is a Kushari Supercarrier and manufacturing plant. It holds the distinction of being the largest FTL capable ship ever built by the Kushari. It is home to an extensive manufacturing plant, resource processing plant, and a foundry, all automated. In addition to these, it houses most of DSEG’s fighters and dropships, most of its civilian personnel, and its command staff. It is accompanied by a host of repair and construction drones, repair ships, and dozens upon dozens of mining vessels and drill ships used to extract raw materials with which to keep the ship supplied. A Hydroponics module has been fitted, allowing the Agamemnon to supply foodstuffs to the rest of DSEG.

As the Agamemnon is little more than a flying factory and mining outpost, it is understandable that it is somewhat lacking in terms of weaponry and mobility. Slow, cumbersome, and poorly armed, it relies entirely on its fighter and corvette escort for defense. It has primitive navigational shields but nothing more.

When the Kushari Federation made First Contact with the Galactic Alliance, the Agamemnon-class Supercarrier was no longer needed. Upon the negotiations with the Imperial Knights, in exchange for blueprints of a multitude of technology, the DSEG gave the Agamemnon to the Imperial Knights as they no longer needed it.

Length: 650M
Crew: 160 + 500 Marines
Passengers/Manufacturing/Mining Crew: 3,000
Consumables: Theoretically infinite.

Armament:

12x Dual CIWS Railguns. Arranged into 3 gun batteries with two batteries on each flank, with two guns on the top of the ship positioned directly over a belly gun. These quick-firing light railguns offer impressive firepower in compact packages. Designed to pick off enemy strike craft and disable subsystems on enemy capital craft, these multipurpose weapons serve to defend the Spirit against bombers and frigates alike. Their rate of fire is 240 rounds per minute per barrel, and each CIWS Railgun has two barrels, giving it a overall rate of fore of 480 rounds per minute. They are not considered effective against capital ships, but may be able to pick off subsystems and turrets on capital ships caught with their shields down.

24x M389 30MM Gatling Gauss Cannon, 6 Barreled. This powerful weapon serves as the Spirit’s close-in weapons system. Controlled by several fire control computers, these guns are brought to bear against any fighter or missile that strays too close. While not terribly modern compared to laser cannons, their high rate of fire of 3,000 rounds per minute and their tungsten-cored ammo tends to shred any lightly armored craft that gets within range. These guns are scattered across the hull in an attempt to provide all-round coverage, but they do little to stop a concentrated attack in one area.
