ICN Vader is the flag of the Second Flotilla of the Imperial Cocytus Navy, and of the Grand Vizier of Clan Scholae Palatinae, Dr. Elincia Rei. The Venator-class Star Destroyer is a versatile multi-role carrier primarily tasked with leading the offensive in large scale battles. It was purchased for the Imperial Cocytus Navy in 34 ABY.
History
Brief details about what happened to the old fleet here.
A new fleet was purchased under the command of Emperor Xen'Mordin Vismorsus and his Grand Vizier Dr. Elincia Rei during the year 34 ABY. Rather than replacing the Dark Paladin with a similarly advanced warship, the summit split the cost into investing in two identically costly dual flagships to serve as the flagships of the two Flotillas of the reformed Imperial Cocytus Navy. The ICN Sidious, a Victory-class Star Destroyer, was designated as the flagship of the First Flotilla and of the Emperor, tasked with defence of the Cocytus System, while the ICN Vader was chosen as the flagship and operational headquarters of the offensively focused Second Flotilla.
Weapons and Complement
While primarily a carrier, the 1137-meter long Destroyer is heavily armed with eight heavy dual turbolaser turrets, two medium turbolaser cannons, fifty-two point-defense laser cannons, four heavy proton torpedo tubes for engaging enemy craft. In addition the Vader is armed with six tractor beam projectors that allow it to lock onto and move other vessels or objects.
The Vader is the primary carrier of the Second Flotilla, and houses both exceptional carrying capacity and innovative technology offering two deployment options. In addition to a standard ventral hangar bay, the bow of the Vader can open up to reveal a half kilometer long dorsal flight deck. This flight deck enables the Vader to rapidly launch hundreds of fighters. However, the slow opening and closing of the armored bow doors could leave the ship extremely vulnerable.
In accordance with its primary role as a carrier, the Vader contains a large complement of state-of-the-art starfighters, totaling 96 fighters in its hanger. 4 squadrons of modern TIE/FO Starfighters (48 ships) were the ship's primary method of engaging hostile craft, along with 3 Squadrons of the advanced two seater TIE/SF Starfighter (36 ships). The pilots of the expensive, high performance TIE/D Defender Squadron were hand picked from the best pilots in the Imperial Navy.
During deployment, the Vader is supported by the heavy cruisers of the Second Flotilla, theAcclamator-class Assault Ship, ICN Amedda, for transporting troops to the surface, the Vindicator-class Heavy Cruiser, ICN Thrawn, carrying a TIE/SA Bomber sqadron, as well as a Quasar Fire-class Cruiser Carrier carrying 48 TIE/FO Starfighters.
