Template:Ship-Current The Hapan Super Star Destroyer HRS Tini'duran is the only such ship currently in service with the Royal Hapan Naval Forces. The HRS Tini'duran was secretly built in the Charu system and heavily guarded by the Royal Hapan Navy. The ship took just under 1.5 years to build, and all members assigned to the project were sworn to secrecy. Whilst Hapan Intel received foreign documents stating the ship had been sighted in the system, its existence remained largely unknown. King James officially announced the project to the Hapan people on Year 4035 Day 239 in his news post to the nation.
History
Background
It is believed that King James was able to obtain a copy of the datacard through his good relations with Emperor Vodo. Whilst King James did not reveal the exact details, he did state it has been something he had been planning for a long time. The Hapan Fleet was growing by the day, and it seemed pilots were becoming rarer than raw materials for new ships. The demand for a super battleship that can function as a mobile defense platform became more and more apparent. King James stated in an interview this was something he had foreseen in year 4030, shortly after the construction of 35 new shipyards had begun.
Early Construction
Construction of this 665 million ton ship begun on Year 4034 Day 170, however preliminary discussions on the Project started as far back as the early days of year 4034. The project was so secret that not even the Royal Council was informed, and even well into the construction of the ship, ministers were only informed on a need to know basis. One of the largest concerns of the project being compromised was the large demand of raw materials it would need. King James was able to re-route most of the raw materials through smaller provincial projects as well as nationalized companies. The first raw material ship arrived at the class IV shipyard Athena Star on year 4034 day 125, and marked the first milestone of the project. For the first months of the project, the Royal Hapan Navy was not involved; it wasn’t until the actual structure of the gigantic project could be seen in system scans that a defense Fleet was assigned to the system.

Vulnarability
With the large investment in this project and its future importance to Hapes, Charu's defenses became a major concern. Towards the end of 4034 Hapan Intelligence performed a risk analysis and threat assessment on the Charu System. At the time Charu was serving as one of the main two ship construction hubs in the cluster. The report revealed several flaws in the defense network and action needed to be taken. King James, together with the Military Council, made immediate plans to boost the systems defenses. In 4035 the system saw an estimate of twenty new Golan II defense stations being constructed accompanied by major ground defense cities and military outposts. In a report from the Ministry of Finance the government confirmed the investment of an estimated 1.3 billion credits in the system between the years 4032 and 4035.
Intelligence Reports
Hapan Intelligence, lead by no other than Minister Zayth Kadrim, oversaw the selection of pilots, builders and military personal. Zayth Kadrim stayed in close contact with King James throughout the process. During the construction period there were several reports of foreign vessels entering the system, most of them believed to be recon ships. Hapan agents were able to obtain several reports from the black market indicating a Super Star Destroyer was being built. The most notable report was from a freelance recon pilot who had recorded actual digital images of the ship. Whilst the images clearly showed the outlining of a Super Star Destroyer many governments believed the pilot was out for his own money and disregarded the information as false. Throughout the months to come, Hapan Intelligence distributed a series of false reports of their own to conflict with factual reports. As a result the project remained largely undiscovered. In a report to the King, Zayth Kadrim quoted “The acceptance of this project appears to be too scary to believe for most, thus I find many governments disregarding factual reports.”
Service
Active Service
The HRS Tini'duran entered active service on year 4035 day 322. The ship is planned to be stationed over Hapes and its main purpose will be the preservation of Hapan Life within the Cluster. If need be though, the ship will be ready to respond to any threat, at any time, at any location. In a press conference King James revealed the ship to be a floating city. If need be, it can serve as an mobile command post outside of the cluster.
Crew
A minimum of 30,000 men are needed to man this vessel. A large portion of them started training at the beginning of 4035 and the first crew members were stationed on the ship in year 4035 day 230. The vessel is expected to undergo a series of test runs before she will be seen near the front line.
Equipment
When compared to the original design used by the Galactic Empire the HRS Tini'duran has several notable differences. There are several large recreational areas on board the ship, that include Gyms, Swimming Pools, various ball sports and more. The main barracks area has only two thirds of personal when compared with it's imperial design. With the extra space, comes extra comfort. The Royal Hapan Armed Forces has always aimed towards healthy and active crews onboard their war ships, as these crews will operate with far higher potential than unmotivated and unhealthy personal. This was one of many lessons learned throughout the Hapan Civil War and most notably the second battle of Dreema.
The HRS Tini'duran is equipped with the largest medical station ever built on a warship, capable of treating several hundred people at a time. The ship is home to almost 120 squads of fighters and bombers, these crews are stationed in the lower decks of the ship. The huge hangar bay also holds several Atlas Troop Transport Shuttle as well as the Kings personal CR-92 Battle Corvette HRS Artemis.
Kings Deck
As the HRS Pride the HRS Tini'duran also has a Kings Deck. Few changes were made from the original design onboard the HRS Pride. The Kings deck offers a large swimming pool with hot tub, bar area, gym, a large conference room, quarters, office and dining room.
