After the defeat of the Empire, Denon was finally independent. Refusal to join the New Republic brought new challenges. Gone was the protection of a central galactic government.
Haelos Star Yards took matters into their own hands.
The seven orbital facilities operated day and night amidst the HSY renaissance, producing various vessels of state of the art design. Aside from starships for clients and the general market, HSY needed their own fleet to protect Denon and the corporation from the dangerous Galaxy.
Fresh from assembly lines of Kuusi-6 and Seitsemän-7, a brand new top of the line capital ship for Haelos Star Yards Security and the Denon Municipal Defense Fleet!
The sleek 650 meter long Vausi-class Cruiser is a testament to HSY’s innovative design as well as its newfound might, as well as a symbol of Denon’s culture.
15 rotating turbo lasers protect the ship from all sides, frontal heavy cannons can punch through deflector shields, while its two hangars can hold up to half a dozen star fighters each.
Haelos Star Yards corporate board knows that might invites challenge - but so does wealth.
Before this capital ship, Denon and HSY were unprotected. The wealthy city-planet and its distinguished shipwright corporation were ripe for raiding.
The Vausi-class cruiser is a chance cube - on one hand protection, but on the other hand violence.
Designers of the Vausi worked closely with distinguished Denonian magistrates to adhere to potential the New Republic's Military Disarmament Act while exploiting legal loopholes.
The result: a cruiser half the size of the average Alliance/New Republic capital ship, but heavily armoured and armed.
Invitation to hostility was not the only challenge that Haelos Star Yards faced.
With a limited production of ten, HSY needed hundreds of crew members to staff each cruiser.
Denon lacks experienced officers, after all Denonians are more pacifists, most professions build rather than destroy.
The only solution was to recruit former Imperial and Alliance officers and train them to work towards a common goal.
Two week build with no clear reference or direction. Completely original design while subconsciously inspired by the capital ships of Star Wars - let’s see which ships you see in this!

Hol up, let him cook
Stunning design, fantastic details and inspiring presentation! I wish there were at least a little splash of color, but otherwise perfect for what it is.

Stunning presentation, some of those shots and lighting are just perfect!
I just think it's too clean for a SW build, personally. A small stripe, blaster damage, a patch of a different colour. Otherwise, the shaping and greebles are so good!
