Standard armaments include Turbolaser cannons, Quad-laser turrets, ion cannons, proton torpedo tubes and concussion missile launchers. In addition, these dreadnaughts could be modified to carry superweapons with which they could solo whole fleets or even one-shot entire worlds. Basically, a Harrower-class dreadnaught packs superior firepower then lets say a Venator-class dreadnaught on standard armament front and superior firepower then lets say both Imperial I-class and Imperial-II class dreadnaughts or possibly any dreadnaught with superweapons.
Standard armament comparable to a Venator? Highly unlikely! They're smaller than Venators by a good margin, and we have no indication of any tech superiority by that point. (And note, during the Empire era tech does improve even in ships of the same size, ISD 1 and 2, and by Legacy a similar improvement has happened. A GA Scythe class, which is about Harrower size, has firepower more akin to an ISD).
By the Anaxes War College System of later eras, Harrowers are not even classed as dreadnaughts, they're heavy cruisers and on the small side for heavy cruisers, not even Star Destroyers.
By the Galactic Empire, using the Anaxes War College System, Heavy Cruiser refers to 800-1000 meter ships, Star Destroyer 1000 to 2000, Battlecruiser 2,000 to 5,000, and Dreadnaught has been bumped up to 5,000. There's ship sizes that do not even exist in the TOR era in there.
The superweapon does grant superior firepower, but it's small in number, has a mere one manufacturing facility that's easily targeted, and still on a small, relatively fragile package.
I'd say that Harrower-class dreadnaughts are a threat to any other dreadnaught in the mythos.
It's 800 meters long. Pellaeons are like 1,500 or so, and more massive than ISDs. Dragon Ships are like 2,500 or so (making them Battlecruisers).
Do not get fooled by technology progression in Star Wars, older weapons are not necessarily inferior or useless in this mythos.
No, not useless, but newer ones are still better even if they improve by inches over a long period, and by Legacy we have an explicit increase in effectiveness of guns and a very serious increase in ship sizes.
Well, I am not talking about lore related developments, I am assuming both forces at their best.
The Sun Razer is easily removed from the picture, is my point, and many of it's 'superweapons' include special ships that aren't all that special by OS standards (like Malgus's flagship).
I am not claiming that Annihilator-class dreadnaughts won't be a threat, they are huge. However, even they can be one-shotted by a Harrower-class dreadnaught based superweapon.
No, no, you misread.
Annihilator class fighters. Their Annihilator class fighters can destroy Star Destroyers in short order. Their force-guns punch through capship shields.
As in, a dozen Annihilator fighters can hyperdrive in- another OS advantage, all their fighters have hyperdrive and shields, TOR sith fighters have to be carried in- and kill the Harrowers in a system.
Without capital ships, just fighters.
Force > anything.Cyborgs are not immune to Force-manipulation.
They are immune to mental force manipulation, I'm pretty sure.
I mean, they're *also* strong force users, so that also provides protection as well, but if you are designed to be not capable of breaking and running, you won't.
"When the Sith Empire attempted to conquer the Republic, the Dread Masters used their powers to destroy entire Republic fleets."I don't think it is possible to destroy entire fleets with just fear. Dread Masters packed extraordinary powers on individual basis, imagine their effectiveness and potency with combined might.
Panicking people cannot operate their ships. It is described as a fear effect that cripples people with terror, this is specifically how it works. A corvette could shoot down a dreadnaught under it's effects due to the crew being useless.
And it did not prevent a Jedi strike force from confronting and capturing all of them in the first place, so it is not irresistable.
FYI: TOR era Sith Empire had plenty of cyborgs too.
Did they have cyborgs who were also powerful force users? And were these cyborgs operating their fleets?
Cyborgs are normally used in small quantities, and normally are just people with limbs and such, not brain control.
TOR era Sith Empire can pull off a victory, it has ample quality and muscle for this task.
It should have inferior quantity outside of Sith Lords too.
They have half the galaxy. The One Sith have 80% of a larger galaxy.
Here is the Size of One Sith Territory
Here is the size of known space as-of the New Sith Wars (and the mandalorian wars of the KotoR era. TOR should be somewhere between these two)
Known space has increased by about a third since the NSW, and about doubled from the KotoR era. And the TOR Empire only had *half* of the territory of their time.
The TOR Empire had a serious problem with overextending even with what they had, that was why they signed the truce.
If the TOR pushed and increased their territory by half, forcing them to spread their forces thinner and making them nuch more vulnerable, the One Sith would basically be able to shrug it due to their huge territory, and then turn around and devastate them in return.
