General Information

This is the biggest ship in the known universe, bigger than the Dreadnaught. This craft is much more advanced than the conventional Dreadnaught. It has an excellent cloaking, masking its presence in attack. The inititative is also superior. Basically, its better than the Dreadnaught at some things and equally good at everything else except slightly worse EMP resistance, due to the cloaking. The advantage of cloaking far outweighs this though.

Weapons Details

This ship is fitted with crystallic laser cannons, capable of literally cutting a small ship in two. 80 gus covering the ship from all angles makes sure that the ship can hit any enemy fighters. The turrets are graviton seeking, making it very easy to track ships.

Defence Details

The ship armor is built out of particle dispersing crystal plating. Even if the claoking should fail, this armor will disperse the scans, its only weakness is the high frequensies that military scans operate on. Just like the more blunt Dreadnaught this ship can repair armor by moving armor from other places on the ship. This is done automatically because the crystal structure always creates a structure with the smallest surface possible. This technology is superior to the one used in Dreadnaughts, and much less noicy. EMP resistance is also good, the only problem is the cloak emission nodes, as they act as conduits into the ship's internal system. Due to emp dampeners and isolation, there's only a 20% chance that an EMP blast will immobilize the craft.

Crew Details

This ship needs a rather big crew to function, due to all the cloaking maintenance needed. Minimum 50 crew members. The commanding officer must be of rank Admiral or better, with additional courses in the piloting of cloaked vessels. Using androids for some of the maintenance in case of radiation hazards is adviced.

Notes

Although the ship is the best Battleship class shiop available, it needs some backup to take care of Black Widows than can quite easily immobilize this ship.
