Summary of KSD Resurgent.
Vessel Info
Dimensions
The bridge of a Khyron-class destroyer.The Khryon-class measures 1,600 meters stem to stern, putting it in the same size class as the Imperial-class Star Destroyer. It lacks the prominent dorsal command tower unlike the older Imperial design, instead sharing design features with the smaller Nebula-class design. Like other Kuat Drive Yards designs, the Khyron incorporates a large ventral hangar deck to support auxiliary craft operations.
Crew Requirements
KDY was able to cut the required crew for the Khyron in half when compared to an Imperial-class destroyer. Much of this comes from higher levels of automation and computer control, but it is also a result of simpler subsystem design. The bulky and complex I-a2b solar ionization reactor around which the Imperial-class was designed was replaced with four smaller units designed in house at KDY. This allowed for the engineering crew requirements to be massively reduced, accounting for nearly half of the crew savings.
Offensive and Defensive Systems
Like the Rejuvenator upon which it is based, the Khyron-class sports a heavy complement of weapon systems. Designed to be able to engage enemy capital starships at close range for extended periods, the main armament of the vessel is concentrated along the port and starboard flanks. The most significant departure of armament the Khyron makes from the Rejuvenator is her proton torpedo turrets. The Brotherhood designers that adapted the Rejuvenator design substituted the larger torpedo systems for the 12 assault concussion missile turrets that were standard. This decision was made late in the construction phase of the first Khyron-class vessel, the Arcanum, and was in response to the use of shadow bombs by the Jedi against the Yuzzhan Vong. The Brotherhood chose to adapt these weapons for use by their starfighter forces as well, and thought that their capital starship classes could benefit from this innovation. As the Brotherhood, like the Jedi, would be converting standard proton torpedoes for this purpose, the modification of the Khyron-class design was made.
The Khyron-class was built to thrive in the face of short range, long duration engagements and as such has defensive systems that are second to none. Her shields are rated at a 30% greater power output then those of the latest production Imperial-IIs, and additionally incorporate multiple redundant backup systems much as Mon Calamari designs do. The armor plating was also rated better than other capital vessels, with the plates themselves being fabricated as larger, single pieces to reduce the number of possible failure points where two plates were joined together.
