The Decimation-class was notably different than its predecessor, the Executor-class Mk. 1. The middle-front section was removed to free up crew and reduce cost to operate. It was still 19,000 meters long, and it still had room for over 2,000 weapons emplacements. Like the original doctrine of the Empire, this ship was easily capable of striking fear into potential opponents due to its length of 19 km. The two "prongs" jutting downward from the end of each tip of the split forward hull simply added to that effect.

  • The Decimation-class was notably different than its predecessor, the Executor-class Mk. 1. The middle-front section was removed to free up crew and reduce cost to operate. It was still 19,000 meters long, and it still had room for over 2,000 weapons emplacements. The Decimation-class was armed with 550 heavy turbolaser cannons, 550 turbolaser turrets, 600 heavy ion cannons (far more than the original), and 250 concussion missile tubes. The missile tubes are meant for anti-fighter use. However, they are just as effective against capital ships when focused on one target. Each tube had a fifty-missile magazine. Like the original doctrine of the Empire, this ship was easily capable of striking fear into potential opponents due to its length of 19 km. The two "prongs" jutting downward from the end of each tip of the split forward hull simply added to that effect. Removing the main cityscape did present several major adavatages over the original design, including the fact that this class was no longer vulnerable to trench runs. These same weapons that prevented such tactics also could defend starfighters when they launch from the reduced hangar bay at the "base" of the split. This hangar bay could still hold two full fighter wings, totaling 144 ships.
