Why this janky looking Imperial ship was one of their best 1

The Modular Taskforce Cruiser, or MTC for short, is a heavy frigate available to the Imperial Remnant in Era 3. It carries an armament of 16/4 Medium Turbolasers.

The Imperial Navy had long preferred to maintain a large fleet where each ship filled a particular niche. However, by the time the Reborn Palpatine emerged from hiding, this was becoming harder and harder to maintain. After a report was made on the need to streamline the Imperial fleet, Tagge Industries Shipyards Limited was contracted to design a multirole starship. After noting the fundamental design similarities of all single-role ships, the MTC was born.

The base ship was quite unimpressive, having only a command section, life-support systems, quarters for a skeleton crew, and an engineering bay. The real purpose of the framework was to carry mission specific modules. These could range from a hospital module to a planetary suppression module. Though the design was brilliant and inexpensive, very few of these ships were made, and production was halted soon after the death of the Reborn Palpatine.
