DESCRIPTION​

Designed in tandem with the TL-1 Dreadnought, the TL-2 Battlecruiser was always designed to become more of a workhorse than the TL-1. Rather than being designed to be amongst the most powerful ships in the Galaxy, the TL-2 Battlecruiser was designed to be amongst the most powerful ships in any given battle. Designed in partnership by Gyndine and Christophsis Driveyards, the TL-2 was designed to match the New Republic's Starhawk III-Class Battleships and the Sith's Resurgent-Class Star Destroyer.

While not currently directly combatting either ship when designed and manufactured, the belief of the design team and ISC leadership was that it was better to be prepared for such a horrible war than to be caught flat-footed by it.

Inspiration for the design was taken from both the TE-series of ISC battleships and the Bothan Assault Cruiser, in tandem with the TL-1 Dreadnought. Though currently limited in numbers compared to the Republics or Empires of old, the TL-2 Battlecruiser can be produced by other shipyards within the ISC, including Corellia and other core-world based shipyards - something that hinders the TL-1 Dreadnought's own production speed and limits.

It is common to see the TL-2 Battlecruiser within Three-Fold Fleets and Core Defence fleets within the heartlands of the ISC as part of the ISC Navy. Plans to roll it out as the standard battleship for the ISCCT are also underway. After contracting with Asteria Industries, large command and other capital ships went into the process of refitting for the path engine. Due to its size and capacity, the path engine has been modeled to accommodate for such war vessels in the ISC navy.

LEGALITY​

Restricted. TL-2 Battlecruisers 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 sold to the ISC Navy by their manufacturer.

INTENT​

To give the ISC its own, modern, capital warship. Updated to accommodate path engines.

RESTRICTIONS​

TL-2 Battlecruisers are large capital ships with heavy weapons, and capital ships cannot be owned or operated by individual characters. They are currently exclusive to the ISC faction.
