Description
Battleships are heaviest hitters of the navy: used as flagships as well as assembling into heavy walls of battle that can lay waste to planetary defenses. This battleship if fairly typical. It's over a kilometer long and has a crew eight hundred and fifty. It has five massive fusion engines able to give it a top acceleration of 3.6 gravities. It can form a complete shield bubble when not under acceleration while leaving only a small rear hole for it's drive plume while accelerating. It has five massive super heavy laser cannons and sixteen heavy laser cannons and it's total energy weapon capacity is over a terrawatt. It also has 1,024 vertical launch cells. A single one of these battleships can do considerable damage and often one of them is sufficient to spearhead an invasion fleet for many minor systems. Even so these ships need screens from smaller frigates and destroyers to effectively deal with torpedo salvos.
