Anakin Skywalker and his squadron attacked the Malevolence in this manner and it resulted in the destruction of both ion cannons and considerable damage to the ship, knocking out its hyperdrive as well as number of other systems, shields included. However, it seems that the section connecting the ion cannon to the ship itself wasn't as durable and bombardment to this area caused the weapon to overload during its firing sequence.

Sixteen thrusters were positioned at the vessel's stern. The battleship was so massive that it could receive heavy turbolaser bombardment from multiple enemy capital ships without being knocked out or even suffering any major damage, even with its shields disabled. Also included were launchers for Proton torpedos. They consisted of at least two different types - light and heavy dual turbolaser cannons. Turbolasers were fitted to both its sides and dorsal superstructure, being clustered in large banks to defend against any ship that avoided the main ion cannons. The Subjugator-class was also armed with considerable amounts of standard secondary weaponry to destroy the ion cannon's victims. The weapon needed a significant cooldown period after each shot, to let ionized particles be cleaned out of the cannon before the next firing sequence. The battleship was fitted with the aforementioned gigantic ion cannons which were charged with plasma rotors and fired a focused and directed ionic pulse at Republic capital ships, completely neutralizing their power systems.

The class was based around its ion pulse cannons, a weapons-system not used onboard any other warship class, due to its unique power-generation needs.ĭespite its status as the Confederacy's most powerful battleship design, eclipsing pre-war models like the Lucrehulk-class, the model was classified as a heavy cruiser and was one of the largest designs that came from the Confederate shipyards. The Confederate Navy's most powerful battleship class, it had some design-similarities to both the Providence-class carrier/destroyer and the Recusant-class light destroyer, but was larger than five Venator-class Star Destroyers and totalled 4,845 meters in length. The Subjugator-class heavy cruiser was a CIS warship class that consisted of at least three ships. Point-defense light laser cannon batteries (5)
