The Khyron-class Star Destroyer Transcendent is the current flagship of the Ascendant Fleet of Clan Plagueis.

Characteristics

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.

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.

History

Role

The Transcendent serves as the central naval asset of Plagueis. Its firepower is nearly without peer, but it is also quite versatile. As such, the ship plays the role of a nexus when engaged in combat. In addition, the Transcendent embarks a small ground force of battle droids. The droids are specially trained in boarding actions, serving to defend the vessel from any possible incursion. During planetary assault missions, the Transcendent is often tasked with the transport and deployment of elements Army Force Vornskr in the form of the 1st and 2nd Infantry Regiments. This is usually done to allow for greater tactical flexibility than deploying from the Ravager alone.

Attached Craft

Currently attached to the Transcendent are 6 squadrons of fighters:

The Transcendent also carries a squadron of various transport craft, often including aerospace lift elements of Army Force Vornskr, for passenger transportation and troop deployment:

Ground Forces

During normal operations, the only troops carried on board the Transcendent are a unit of battle droids. These are specially programmed to excel in the role of fleet marines, and also require little support in the form of resources or facilities when they are inactive. The battle droids carried by the Transcendent are also linked via a command signal directly into the central computer, giving them highly optimized performance while they are on board.

During ground assault operations, however, additional troops and equipment drawn from the Ascendant Legion in the form of units of Army Force Vornskr can be embarked.
