The Dominant is a Vindicator-class heavy cruiser and the command vessel of Task Force Besh in Clan Plagueis' Ascendant Fleet.

History

Characteristics

With a distinctive angular frame common with Imperial designs, the Vindicator resembles a scaled-down Star Destroyer. Designed by Sienar Fleet Systems, the ship is six hundred meters in length and is crewed by more than two-and-a-half thousand personnel. This can be further augmented with an additional four hundred passengers; typically marines to help support boarding actions. While offering only average shielding, armour plating, firepower, and maneuverability, it is most noteworthy in its choice of firepower. Opting for sheer volume of weapons over larger cannons, the ship has been outfitted with twenty-five light turbolaser turrets and an additional twenty light quad turbolaser turrets. This makes the ship highly effective in swiftly overwhelming and destroying smaller vessels, or overwhelming the shields of certain targets through sheer volume of shots. In addition to this, the Vindicator is outfitted with a large point-defense network of light turbolasers and ion cannons. This not only makes attacks on this class by starfighters extremely hazardous, but offers it a noted edge when facing fleets reliant upon explosive munitions, nulifying two common weaknesses in Imperial designs. The Vindicator also features a small hanger, allowing it to maintain two squadron's worth of fighters along with further support craft.

Role

Serving as the command ship, the Dominant's role is to serve as the central linchpin within Task Force Besh. Ultimately emulating the general role of the larger Ascendancy, it offers the primary offensive and defensive firepower of the group in terms of payload and tonnage. Capable of absorbing far greater yields of firepower than its accompanying ships and carrying a far greater volume of turbolasers, this allows it to serve as the central point in any formation and trade shots with similar sized or larger attack vessels. Its accompanying ships can each serve in specialized roles, either as more lightly armed escorts or dedicated carrier ships; with their best use being decided by the Dominant's commanding officer.
