Description -

The Sen'Jin class heavy cruiser is designed as the next generation of captial ship killer, helping to test a combination of recently developed weapons, used so far on only a few of the Empire's vessels. The ship is almost diamond shaped, except with the latter part cut in half. The ship is well armed, with good protection, but speed is sub-par for a vessel this size. The reason for this is that this vessel is designed for fleet operations, to act in concert with larger captial ships in defeating enemy vessels.

Weapon Description -

X-10 Medium Turbolaser Battery: The X-10 is in many ways like the turbolasers of old, except with a few important differences. The main difference is that, with added technology, the X-10 is able to undergo a, rapid-fire mode, in which the barrels fire at twice their normal rate. When this happens, the shot output is doubled, but the power of each bolt is reduced slightly. In addition, rapid heating means that the barrel would only be able to fire for about five minutes before the barrel would have to cease firing and cool down for ten minutes without firing. If the barrel does not cool down after five minutes, then it would melt, meaning the barrel would have to be replaced. This weapon is already in use on the Regent class Star Destroyer.

X-20 Heavy Turbolaser Cannon: The X-20 is designed as a continous beam weapon, where instead of firing short individual bolts of energy, the weapon maintains the firing of a continous, powerful beam of energy. The amount of power and heat expended is enormous, but well worth it, as the weapon has the ability to punch through shields and hull armour more easily than conventinal turbolaser technology (Similar to SPHA). This comes at a price though, as the rate of fire is far below that of normal turbolaser cannons, due to the amount of time needed to recharge the power core and cool down the barrel of this weapon. The weapon can fire continously for one minute, with a rate of fire of one beam per five minutes. This weapon was in previous use on the Regent class Star Destroyer.

STL-12 Turret: The STL-12 Turret, consisting of three Super-Turbolaser Barrels in a single mounting, is technology first used on the Imperial Star Destroyer Mark V. This turret uses the same technology, but is a scaled down version of the original weapon. It is three times as powerful as a standard turbolaser battery, and has a little bit of a faster re-charge rate than the standard STL turret.

Proton Torpedo Cluster: Simple explanation here. The Proton Torpedo Cluster is a grouping of Torpedo tubes into a single launch area. Each Cluster has a total of fifteen tubes in it. These tubes have a total of ten torpedoes apiece, one standard, and nine reloads.
