## Player Evaluation

Captain Andal Sait commands a lightly modified Imperial I-class Star Destroyer, said modifications being the addition of three light repeating Massdriver turrets providing additional valuable shield piercing AA fire that the ISD1 benefits from and the fighter loadout being improved with the Tie Fighters and Bombers being removed and replaced by Toscans and Supa Fighters which perform significantly better. other than these modifications, The *Blackguard* is functionally Identical to Darth Vader's ISD1, The *Devastator* having the Pursuit ability and and providing a 10% admiral bonus in combat, despite the modifications however the *Blackguard* still has the same strengths and weaknesses of any other ISD1, these weaknesses being mainly the vulnerability to strike fighters and bombers and inability to cope with large numbers of Corvette class ships, however as the Black Sun Underworld the player has access to many tools to deal with these threats and support Andal Sait in battle, prime examples being Corona-class Armed Frigates, Longhorn Escort Frigates, Weequay Mercenaries (these synergize especially well due to the salvage bonus these two units share stacking) and Disablers like the Vengeance-class Frigate, in addition to these support ships, bringing more firepower in the form of Turbolasers along almost always helps.

The strengths are another thing, again it is an ISD1 and as such it has a lot of health, heavy armor and big guns, it's main targets are going to be other capital ships and combat stations which it has no problem dispatching with deadly efficiency, especially with the correct fleet built up around it.

As for battle tactics, the ISD1 makes for a good centerpiece in any fleet but the player should not simply rush into situations that are unfavorable expecting a positive outcome, deploy the fleet around The *Blackguard,* scout your enemy's position, skirmish with appropriate vessels if one so desires and engage if you the player feel that you can beat whatever your enemy has in their defense fleet, positioning is important, while the ISD is fairly mobile it is far from agile so pick a position and stick with it.

As an added bonus, if one loses Andal Sait in battle he can be rerecruited just as done when recruited initially.

Overall, Andal Sait is a valuable asset to the Black Sun and is worth recruiting, Empire players will feel right at home when using this hero in battle.

## Lore Description
