Warlock Heavy Star Destroyer
The Warlock-Class Star Destroyer was designed to capture what was to be one
of the most lucrative naval contracts in galactic history. The Emperor had
issued a mandate that a warship capable of subjugating an entire world and
defeating entire fleets of lesser ships was to be built. Rendili answered
this call with the Warlock. Nearly 2,000 meters long, the Warlock mounts
some of the heaviest weapons ever built into a starship. Her main guns are
two immense continuous-beam turbolaser capable of punching completely through
most ships with a single shot. Backing these long-range artillery pieces up
are 9 double turbolaser turrets meant for medium-range engagements as well
as 3 heavy railguns for extreme-range sniping. To deal with mid-sized enemy
capital ships, the vessel mounts 4 medium turbolaser turrets and carries 9
light turbolasers for use against the smallest capital ships such as large
assault shuttles, blastboats, and gunships. 16 heavy anti-starfighter batteries
guard against heavy space bombers such as the Y-Wing while 36 smaller quad
laser cannons serve as defense against lighter snubfighters. Rounding out the
armament are 12 heavy concussion missile launchers armed with ship-killing
guided missiles and 16 light concussion missile launchers for use against
enemy fighters. Finally, these ships are equipped to carry 72 fighters, 12
bombers, and 12 assault shuttles. While a valiant effort by Rendili StarDrive,
this ship was doomed to failure due to the utilitarian nature of her design.
Not nearly as visually intimidating as an Imperator-Class Star Destroyer, the
Warlock's design is all business with no attention given to aesthetics or
psychological impact. Additionally, the Warlock was not designed to carry
large numbers of troops and ground assault vehicles like the smaller Imperator
could do and was thus passed over in favor of KDY's design. Twelve Warlocks
were built, but no one has ever discovered exactly what became of them.
Conflicting reports have stated that the ships were scrapped, stolen, sold
to an Outer Rim government, and even that they disappeared in a hyperspace
accident. Their true fate has so far remained a complete mystery and is likely
to remain so for quite some time.
