While not exactly the Man-o-War of space, this ship is to feared by any fleeter. All-in-all the Broadside II is a homage to ancient surface-navy warfare that saw ships getting in close in order to devastate the enemy with a single incapacitating barrage. Otherwise, the missiles and flak-fire could easily be destroyed by point defense and skilled pilots. However, the ships would only be effective in this manner if they are at very close 'knife-fight' ranges.

Minimal casualties, maximum effectiveness. The Gladiator -class was a small Star Destroyer that shared its keel design with the Broadside -class cruiser. This is why, if a admiral wishes to use the Broadside II for ship-killer roles, they must be deployed in pairs of two or more. When up against a ship with a powerful particle shield, a single Broadside II will not be enough to damage a capital ship. The weaknesses come in against ranged and shielded targets. Sixty concussion missiles silos and 15 flak-guns firing a broadside at any target is bound to devastate it. With a mixture of concussion and flak fire, a broadside can devastate an unshieded capital-ship of any size by relying on amount of firepower rather than the punch of the firepower itself. However, due to the massive amount of missiles found on the ship, it also makes for a highly effective anti-capital ship weapon. txt files that correspond to ships in the 'lucasartsstar wars empire at wargamedatadata' directory.
