Description
Type-55Z Zenibako[Prefix: BB]
Overview: The Zenobia class is a recently built warship fitted with all the technology and weapons of the Type-55-B program. The class is much similar to the Jovia and the other flagships only scaled down considerably to be mass produced.

The design was unique amongst all observed Jovian ships. With a gleaming white hull, virtually the entire dorsal hull leading toward the ship's propulsion systems was a single large transparency, under which various parts of the ship's structure could be observed. It was also unique amongst Imperial ships in that there are no obvious energy weapon emplacements visible on its hull. Rather, all of its observed energy weapons systems fired from beneath (and through) the transparency on the dorsal side.

The class fitted with extensive command and control facilities capable of handling and coordinating a fleet as large as 5000 ships or more. The ship's sensors were situated in the lower hull and featured a full suite of lidar, visible light, infrared, and gravimetric sensors. In addition, the ship was the field test of new advanced FTL communications equipment and FTL sensors (both essential for a fleet's mobility in hyperspace). These versions were based on new theories and had nearly 2 times the range of the standard models, with possible room for more improvement.

The 55Z also carried some of the early evidence of the 5.5 Gen upgrades though it was an earlier version called 5.2. The Entire class received the 5.5 gen upgrade but also was renamed to Zenibako due to a naming change for all Jovian ships of 5.5 Gen.

Secondary Armament: 48 Phased Plasma Cannons[28 Dorsal, 28 Ventral], 48 Inferno Autocannons[28 Dorsal, 28 Ventral], 90 Graviton Micro Missile launchers[90 VLS Tubes], 16 Graviton Torpedo Tubes[8 bow, 4 port, 4 starboard] 6 N-Matter Energy Torpedo Launchers[3 port, 3 starboard]

Auxiliary Craft: 64 Aircraft. 20 Fighters, 10 Torpedo Bombers, 10 Dive Bombers, 10 ECM aircraft, 6 shuttles, 8 light shuttles.

Engines+FTL: 24 Shirada Mk-50 “Sensei” Sublight Engines. 12x Kenbishi Mk-50 Graviton Hyperspace Engines, 6x Kenbishi Mk-50 Jump Engine.

Ships in Class:
WIP

Kiryuin Conglomerate Type-45 “Naifu” Neutrino Particle Lance:
These weapons successfully weaponize Neutrinos. Millions of times smaller than electrons, neutrinos typically pass through ordinary matter without issue. Spatial field containment however allows these weapons to confine high density beams of trillions of neutrinos, colliding them with the target’s armor with far more success, causing the target’s constituent atoms to destabilize and produce exotic fission reactions.

Additional Information: The picture is credited to the Developers of Legend of the Galactic Heroes: Die Neue These. This picture shows a member of the Type-55Z Class along with it’s attendant fleet following the upgrades to gen 5.5 standards. This piece is a work in progress and is subject to change in the future. I am in no way affiliated with Legend of the Galactic Heroes: Die Neue These, I just love their ships.
