Sith Eternal SSD "Ascendant".
LORE:
A next-generation Super Star Destroyer, a culmination of all the weapons developed in the old wars. Though it may resemble the Executor-class in both size and structure, its internals are an entirely different, far more streamlined design that carries out the Sith Eternal's doctrine of ruthless efficiency. No longer will the cowardly Rebels outmaneuver with their starfighters or hold out under the mighty shields of the Mon Calamari cruisers; every feature aboard this vessel is designed for not only intimidation by firepower, but also by efficiency. In addition to a kyber-powered axial superlaser, the Ascendant-class also features four Superheavy Ion Cannons capable of covering the front 170* horizontally and 250* vertically. These cannons' power is rivaled only by that of the notorious Separatist ship Malevolence, or ground-to-space ion cannons. A Class 1.0 hyperdrive keeps this dreadnought as fast as its supporting fleet in hyperspace, while numerous gravity well generators ensure that no Rebel fleet caught in her sights makes it out alive.
The Ascendant features a segmented design with two power centers, one located midship and a forward power center behind the battering ram. While both reactors generate an incredible amount of power, they each supply it to different subsidiary systems. Vital systems, such as life support, engines, and navigation are shared by both main reactors. The forward reactor, sometimes referred to as the secondary, supplies power to the ship's gravity well generators, superheavy ion cannons, forward batteries, and maneuvering engines. The main reactor supplies power for the ship's main engines and various weapon emplacements across midship to stern.
While most large Imperial warships need to move forward to change direction, the Ascendant's forward engines allow for easy, rapid turning without changing position. This feature allows it to maintain the upper hand as a long-range siege dreadnought even when enemies attempt to take advantage of its limited forward arc of fire.
There is, also, the cloaking device. Almost nothing else can work while it's active: no shields, no gravity well generators, and minimal weapons. Certainly no superlasers. The uses of cloaking such a large ship are few at best, such as tactical repositions and the such, but the primary use falls to enforcing the principles of the Tarkin Doctrine: silence dissent by fear. The presence of a fleet-killer warship alone is daunting, but too often, dissenters might simply assume that it isn't close enough to respond. Should the Ascendant's location be unknown, it stands as a reminder to uncooperative worlds: step out of line, and the galaxy won't even know what happened. Step out of line, and you won't even have time for goodbyes. Step out of line, and your death will be not a martyrdom but the quiet snuffing out of an unnoticed flame.

Rendering this in 4k was a mistake I bitterly regret I will never do this again (render in 4k, that is. Expect more of this ship coming soon because jhdajhfgjeahua46hj I am so not normal about these. The Final Order should've won, and I'm going to be the reason why.)
