Physical Description- The Stellar-class Star Cruiser takes the form of a slightly shorter ISD with the bridge and raised superstructure chopped off, leaving only the wedge shaped main hull.


This class is built for both sales on the open market and to defend Stellar Enterprises rapidly expanding interests. The Stellar-class Star Cruiser is a ship of line designed to perform a wide variety of roles from a single platform, much like other Stellar Enterprises designs.

For purposes of reliability, minimizing of building costs (to maximize profit), and to reduce operating costs, the Stellar class is built from proven off the shelf components, which are widely available. Many of these hulls are also bought at scrap yards or salvaged from battlefields of long ago. These bought hulls are usually heavily damaged and have newer sections fabricated on them. This helps reduce the cost and resources used for their construction.

Ships that are built for service in the Stellar Enterprises Defense Force, however, use only the latest systems. These ships are built from the ground up with Carbon Matrix Armor, heavy shields, reinforced frames, repeater turbolasers and laser cannons, and Spectrographic Sensor Arrays.

To date, only two hulls have been laid, both of which will be used as Stellar Enterprises Defense Force ships and as traveling demonstrators. However, orders for more than seventy have been placed by various planetary governments’ across the galaxy (including ten by an anonymous buyer represented by Talon Karrde). More than three hundred other systems are considering purchasing them. Anonymous groups have placed orders for more than thirty of these Stellar Class Star Cruisers.

Unbeknownst to all parties and mostly because it was suspected that pirates have purchased some of these ships, it was decided to install a set of dormant computer algorithms in more vital systems. This code would be locked into other codes that are needed to run the ship’s main system and would most like be undistinguishable. Upon a certain code transmission from a Stellar Enterprises ship, the code inside will start to become active and quickly replicate. It will attack all control system first to lock people out of all control stations and start taking over the ships other functions. The code will activate commands to shut down all engines, shields, and weapons systems before opening the ships over slave circuits to the Stellar Enterprises personnel that sent the codes in the first place. (this will be explained further in some rps)
