DESCRIPTION
The Nesuto-class Combat Carrier was initially designed within the confines of The Citadel on Exegol, with a need to help project their power over smaller systems as well as support larger fleets. The Sith Imperial Navy was in need for an up to date fleet carrier to replace the current Quaser Fire-Class Carrier. Needing the ship to not only provide a support role to the larger Resurgent and and Onager Star Destroyers but also be able to hold systems on its own with frigate/corvette support, the Exegol designers looked to the best multirole ship in recent history, the Venator-Class Star Destroyer.
Without the time to produce a ship to the same scale as the original Star Destroyer, the Exegol design team took the basis of the ship, including its large hanger, powerful shields and ability to defend itself but shrunk the ship down by almost half. The compromise is that the living area is extremely small meaning that the ship cannot last for a long time unsupported, though this was deemed as a reasonable expense considering the ships would never be alone or outside of a friendly system.
Keeping with the overall dagger shape, the point has been cut off to allow for an armoured hanger entrance for quick launch of fighters when needed. The main hanger entrances are along the side and bottom of the ship allowing the ship to project its 'considerable for a carrier', firepower forward.
The large bridge on the Nesuto-Class is split between the Port flight control suites and the Starboard command bridge. Seeing a number of similar ships taken down by kamikaze strikes to the bridge the designers fitted a purpose built turbolaser just below the bridge to allow for amble defence of the most vulnerable part of the ship.
LEGALITY
Restricted. Nesuto-class Combat Carrier are classified as capital ships under Galactic law, and possess heavy weapons, making them difficult or impossible for civilians and even small factions to own. To date, however, this has been a non-issue, as they are exclusively built by the Exegol Shipyards for use by the Sith Order.INTENT
To create a dedicated faction specific carrier for the Sith Imperial Navy.RESTRICTIONS
Nesuto-class Combat Carrier are large capital ships with heavy weapons, and capital ships cannot be owned or operated by individual characters. They are exclusive to the Sith Order faction.
