Description: If unbridled fury and an unquenchable thirst for vengeance could be poured into a mold and forged into a machine of war, the Skira would be the end product. This vessel was designed in the hope that it would one day be used to inflict as much damage as possible to the Empire's enemies.

The Skira is heavily armored and heavily armed.

Multiple radiator panels line the hull, each attatched to massive, motorized hinges, when fully extended, these fin-like appendages sap heat from the enngines and reactor, preventing the vessel from overheating during high stress operation. These panels also make a full power shunt possible, which involves all six emergency power generators and the main reactor itself redirection power from weaponry, engines, and other such systems to boost the shields far beyond their normal capacity.

A special stealth variant was also designed, though only twelve of these have been manufactured to date. They have a star-flecked, matte black finish and a reflective coating. They also possess an array of sensor negators, gravitic modulators, engines retooled to operate with reduced emissions and flare, when photon absorbers, and thermal dissipators. As large as they are, these alternative models are still easily detectable at close range, but can remain undetectable for extended periods at more extreme distances. They are specifically designed to slip into systems undetected and ambush unwary prey from afar by deploying their long-range starfighters and boarding craft.
