[J7 – Iridonia - TT] The Atonal

 

Ship specifications

Name: Interdictor type cruiser “Atonal”

Fleet assignment: 77^th task force “Harmony”

Length: 940 m (75 studs)

Weapons: 4 heavy turbolaser batteries, 4 proton torpedo tubes, 6 heavy ion cannons, 6 medium laser cannons

Manufacturer: Fondor shipyards national corps.

 

Description:

After securing Fondor and its shipyards, The Triumvirate started experimenting with new ship types to strengthen the navy and improve on the imperial doctrines of old. To keep their projects secret Fondor shipyards national corps was formed, its formal assignment being the repair and reconstruction of ships damaged or destroyed by Pyerce’s forces.

Following the capture of the planet great amounts of resources and manpower were devoted to its construction, completing it in 7 months and deploying it a month after. The Atonal demonstrates a striking new strategy, intended to operate alone or as part of a small battle group centred around it. With a relatively small weapons compliment for its size, the Atonal focusses its power supplies on a strong deflector shield and eight powerful gravity domes.

This is where it stands out among other interdictors. Its 4 primary white domes are used to pull vessels out of hyperspace, while the 4 smaller ones prevent them from leaving the system. By dividing its operations and using a large number of domes the Atonal can project a gravity shadow of a massive size, blocking out a hyper lane for kilometres. It was placed near Fondor to prevent any unauthorised travel along the Shipwright’s Trace, and subsequently deployed on Iridonia as part of the High Command fleet.

 

Insert from admiral Neimor’s log:

The invasion proceeds well. All routes off world have been blocked, and we are mopping up any remaining resistance in orbit. I have been summoned on the Ressurector, to attend the announcement of our glorious victory…

 

Behind the scenes...

Spoiler

 

Well, this one has a story to tell. This ship was made some 10 months ago, and planned to be used as an interdictor. None of those plans panned out, so it was left unattended. FInnaly seeing some action, as a freebuild though. The Season is almost over, so a throwback seems appropriate anyway.

A black star destroyer will always look menacing - the flat bridge also gives it a evil look imo. I'd love to see the back-end, and lower part for judging. Great ship!

Well it's been a while, but if I remember correctly there isn't one 😅
