The powerful ship used by general Hux and Kylo Ren the finalizer is the first of the
new Resurgent class star destroyers whose size and firepower clearly violate the treaties governing
the construction of capital ships greed by the new republic and the galactic empire the
finalizer's heavy weapons are augmented by two wings of starfighters a hundred assault craft
and a full legion of stormtroopers trained since birth for loyalty to the First Order
the resurgent class served as a mainstay of the first-order navy replacing the then-aging Imperial
class star destroyers much like its imperial predecessors the Resurgent destroyer featured
eight dorsal heavy turbo laser turrets in pairs of four on each side of its main tower in addition to
the two triple-barreled heavy turbo laser cannons on its underside in front of its main hangar no
longer having the exposed corning towers of the older Imperial era vessels' bridge height was
reduced significantly lessons from the past were learnt further improvements to better protect the
bridge tower was made along with improvements to the launch response times of its fighter squadrons
following the galactic empire's defeat at the battle of Jakku its successor state known as the
First-Order rose to power in the unknown regions eventually ordering the construction of the new
resurgent class star destroyers on recently constructed shipyards and secret facilities
in the galaxy's vast frontier manufactured by quad in trawler engineering and designed for advanced
ship-to-ship combat capabilities it served as a symbol of the First Order's power inspiring awe
in the order's enemies and pride within its ranks the resurgent class could launch a full complement
of starfighters and assault ships much quicker than its predecessors in the imperial navy.
The Finalizer is about 2950 meters or 9564 feet in length resurgent class
star destroyers featured a complement of 19,000 officers and 55,000 enlisted personnel
the Resurgent was armed with over 1,500 turbo lasers and ion cannons
point defense turrets point defense missile emplacements and tractor beam projectors.
The larger Mandator class star dreadnought is about 8,000 meters or 26 246 feet in length
taking inspiration from the imperial class star destroyers of the old empire
but lacking the resources to construct vast numbers of these capital ships
the first-order designs would consciously emulate the appearance of the imperial era ships
relying on the psychological impact factors the design had on their foes
the ships ship's tractor beam projector was located at the very tip of the bow
while the flight deck deflector shield projector was located a short distance behind.
Improving on the design of the imperial era vessels the ship features whole structural bracing
in its midsection, much of the bow was split into along the side housing open space supported by a
truss structure both starboard and port sides of the stern featured standard turbo laser batteries
whilst heavy turbo laser turrets and axial defense turrets were located on the bow the ship's turret
firing control center was located at the aft and was protected underneath the larger rear
portion of the ship ion cannon targeting was located on the ship's port side near the front.
learning lessons from the loss of the executor during the battle of Endor
the Resurgent class destroyer featured an off-center better-protected command bridge
along with increased redundancy and command and control systems their standby personnel would
take control of the vessel's activities if the primary bridge was to be taken out of action,
in addition, an emergency bridge was located in the ship's midsection
and was not exposed but built into the existing structure of the vessel
the ship's main hangar deflector shield projectors were located on the both port and starboard
sections a single dome-shaped bridge deflector shield projector encased the command bridge and
its occupants aided by a bridge deflector augmenter further up the ship's kill line
multi-spectrum sensor towers were located near the primary command bridge and aided in target
acquisition upper habitation levels near the primary command bridge were reserved for senior
command staff the ship featured a detention center in its upper midsection slightly closer to the bow
of the vessel, the resurgent class was powered by a single large primary hyper matter annihilation
reactor. Housed within a dome-shaped reactor containment vessel on the ship's underbelly
a tie pilot training and briefing complex existed adjacent to the lateral port hanger
while engineering personnel habitation areas were located at the bottom of the ship
near the reactor core the main hangar was positioned on the vessel's underbelly
where a docking claw aided vessels in landing and departing powerful
turbo laser batteries allowed for overloading enemy shields and punching through thick armor
along with orbital bombardments capable of reducing planetary surfaces to molten slag
the ship was propelled by 11 engines with three large KDY destroyer ion engines and
eight smaller Gemon 8 ion engines the main engines were attached to magnetic turbines
along with an acceleration compensator the hyperdrive generator was located at the very
end of the ship's aft section there extra power would be derived while the coolant silo and pumps
would help lower the temperature of the massive engines these engines required a subsidiary
reactor reactant silos and isotope containment wells. At the stern, their extra power would be
derived while the coolant silo and pumps would help lower the temperature of the massive engines.
One of the Finalizer's hangers containing several tie fighters and atmospheric assault landers
the ship featured both lateral starboard and port hanger entrances
with hangar flight control bridges overseeing activities in both
bays the logistics hangar reception bay and ground vehicle storage was located near the main hangar.
Like its imperial predecessors, the resurgent destroyer featured eight dorsal heavy turbo
laser turrets in pairs of four on each side of its main tower in addition to the
two triple-barreled heavy turbo laser cannons on its underside in front of its main hangar.
The resurgent class's turbo lasers deliver more firepower than imperial hero weapons and boast
a faster recharge rate this advantage stems from kyber focusing crystals harvested from
a secret source deep in the unknown regions. The ship sickbay was located above the stormtrooper
barracks in the bow section of the ship before the forward heavy turbo laser batteries.
Whilst its size is reminiscent of the command ships of the empire the finalizer's design recalls
characteristics Republic era capital ships from the clone wars' Resurgent class vessels maintained
a complement of over 8,000 stormtroopers who had access to a training complex below their barrack
whilst its size is reminiscent of the command ships of the empire.
The Finalizer's design recalls characteristics Republic era capital ships from the clone wars
its dorsal flight deck side hangers and prominent kill are similar to the elements of the venator
class star destroyer reflecting a renewed appreciation amongst those of the first order
for the design, the finalizer can launch its full complement of starfighters and assault
ships much more quickly than its predecessors in the imperial navy the first order lacks the
resources to build huge numbers of massive capital ships like those that once served the emperor
but the lessons of imperial power have not been lost on the first order ship designers. The
Finalizer is a devastating weapons platform and highly effective carrier but it is also a symbol
of the new regime's power designed to recall the era when imperial might was at its greatest
other imperial era design flaws have also been rectified the need for a better protected command
bridge with increased redundancy in command and control systems was a hard lesson learned
from the ass of the executor at the battle of Endor. So what are your thoughts on the Resurgent
class star destroyer? Leave your comments in the section below if you want to see more
