Nightscythe was a Corellian Dreadnaught; a massive egg-shaped vessel. While she competed with Star Destroyers in terms of length, her shape gave her a volume of many times those of competing vessels. This allowed her internal systems to be embedded at the center of her hull, well out of the way of enemy fire. She was said to be capable of fending off a third of a fleet on her own. Her outer hull was covered in over 300 turbolasers, evenly spaced around her outer surface. An effective tactic was to go broadsided with an opposing fleet, and set her rotating about her longditudinal axis, which allowed all the weapons to fire in sequence, while also distributing enemy fire across her hull.

abstract
| - Nightscythe was a Corellian Dreadnaught; a massive egg-shaped vessel. While she competed with Star Destroyers in terms of length, her shape gave her a volume of many times those of competing vessels. This allowed her internal systems to be embedded at the center of her hull, well out of the way of enemy fire. She was said to be capable of fending off a third of a fleet on her own. Her outer hull was covered in over 300 turbolasers, evenly spaced around her outer surface. An effective tactic was to go broadsided with an opposing fleet, and set her rotating about her longditudinal axis, which allowed all the weapons to fire in sequence, while also distributing enemy fire across her hull. Her internal size was also a major advantage; the egg-shaped hull gave her many more decks than any other equivalently sized vessels. This massive amount of space housed tens of thousands of inhabitable quarters, vast cargo holds, and two gigantic hanger bays.
