Executor-class Star Dreadnought Mk-II

History
This class of Star Dreadnought supposedly never made it off the paper, but on paper it would have been the most powerful ship the Empire ever built. Lira Wessex had nothing to do with this ship, few even knew the designs were even made. Bevel Lemelisk is rumored to be the man that improved the design of the Executor-class, saying that all the design flaws of the first class were proven fatal time and time again by the rebels. While many of the first Executor-class seen some improvements, the ship was still just as draining on the empire as the first of the class.

This Mark two Executor-class has major changes done to the over all design. Its more economical, using less then half the resources the first model needed to remain operational, and tougher frame and hull wise. It retains the shield power as the first model but has generators spread through out the hull and typically disguised. Weapon load remains the same but is redistributed into tight clusters so the ship can better focus more fire power in any one direction. Automation, a large droid work force and simplified systems dramatically reduce the operation crew standards which increases the number of troops and support staff greatly, making the ship able to assault a densely populated world nearly on its own.

The ship's design came after the Battle of Endor and despite being a better quality of ship it nearly cost two times of the older model, though it would have saved a warloard over the long run, the huge building price soured any deals. Not that any deals could be made because the designs of the ship were "lost" during that time of the Empire. It wasn't until recently that they resurfaced.

The FACT remains that there are no known ships of this class in the Empire. There is one note that concerns some though, whiled many records were lost when the Empire splintered, there is one report that states the Prototype was 60% completed...

Legacy
The supposed "prototype" of the Executor-class Star Dreadnought MK-II, no one knows if it was completed or scrapped much like many other projects of the time (like the twin mini Death Stars over Coruscant), no one has seen it but there are rumors of a unaccounted for SSD roaming the deep outer rim.
