Description:

Designed to supplement the venerable Bothan Assualt cruiser and provide the Bothan navy with a heavy hitter with comperable firerpower to the main capital assest of the galaxy, the A'krai heavy cruiser is the largest ship built by the Bothans to date. Named for the bothan name for total war, the ship sole purpose is to combat enemy capitals, having no fighter docking bays or ground assualt troops or vehicles. It is designed to take a beating, yet be able to deliver a knock out punch to any enemy ship. Overlapping and back-up sheild generators, multiple layers of armor and storage for proton toredoes take up portions of the ship where fighters and ground assualt personal would normaly fight- the A'krai has only a tiny docking hanger in the rear near its engines which hold room for 3 shuttles used to ferry personal to and from the ship. It has 3 bridges, a primary and two backups making it difficult to capture internally, which explains for its relativly low amount of ship security. For ship to ship combat it is supreme, and its anti laser batteries make fighters wary about attackin it, still it must rely on Bothan Assualt Cruiser for protection from masses of fighters and requires troop transports for planetary assualts.

EDIT: Reduced sheilds by 1500 (as Shreeftut asked) and lowered proton torperdoes tubes to 80.
