This flag deck cruiser was designed to interface well with other cruiser units, offering a crippling long range punch, and enough firepower to shred smaller ships that come into range. The sacrifice for all this capability is in armor. Length-Width-Height 850m 430m 410m Class: Cruiser Tonnage: 6,600,000 tonnes Reference image PRIMARY ARMAMENT 64 x Kraken Hypervelocity missile launchers: 40 hull mounted forward, 24 hull mounted rearward. HVMs fire heavy anti-capital ship missiles of varying payloads with an initial launch velocity of 0.3c. Missiles are 6 meters long with a 2 meter diameter with payloads that come in 200 megaton warheads, gamma ray laser heads, and ECM missiles. Reload speed is between 60 and 85 seconds depending on the missile crew. Missile thrusters provide three minutes of guidance at max accel for an additional 1.5 million kilometers of range, and five minutes of guidance at minimum acceleration for an additional 4 million kilometers of range. 18x 60 GW Plasma Cannons. Max range is 3 million kilometers. 4x 35 GW ion lasers. Max range is 3.5 million kilometers SECONDARY ARMAMENT 85 8GW Point-defense lasers 45x 100mm Railguns firing anti-matter tipped depleted uranium rounds, 120 rounds a minute. 20x Raptor missile launchers. Raptors are 1 meter long missile with high accel and short range for counter-missile fire and anti-fighter capabilities. 20 second reload time. ARMOR/SHIELDING Armor is rated as 5 meter thick Iridium-Titanium alloy interweaved with Carbon-fiber netting Outer layer is 5m thick nanite-regenerative armor. Shielding is Solid-State Plasma shielding. Extremely powerful. COUNTERMEASURES 8x ECM warfare drones. Can be tethered to and powered by the main ship, mimics electronic signatures of real ship with limited AI and ECM active suites. 60 ECM emitters located around the hull, providing extremely large amounts of jamming power totalling 120TW of EM radation. ENGINES Intra-system engines are fusion-powered Eldenhoff pumped-antimatter fusion engines providing 1,200,000 tonnes of thrust. X2 Inter-system engines are KAV-4X fusion fueled drives providing 800,000 tonnes of thrust. X5 FTL engines are Mass-canceling fields combined with Alcubierre Drive technology to provide a 160x SoL rating. REACTORS 4 Tokamak heavy fusion reactors providing .75 YW of power. (Yottawatt) 2 Anti-Matter Large reactors providing 4000GW of power. CREW 36,000 crew across the ship and all decks. 2 Battalions of mechanized assault infantry with two attendant heavy vehicle companies. COMPUTER SYSTEMS 14 Main Computer cores manage all systems. All systems are EMP hardened and isolated to prevent hacking attacks. 6 Backup computer cores on standby. EMP hardened and isolated from primary networks. 3 AIs assist in managing the ship, Athena, Hephaestus, and Kratos. 1 AI back-up, Nike. FIGHTER AND BOMBER COMPLEMENT 12 Wyvern aerospace superiority fighters. Armed with 2x50 mm railguns, and 4 hard points capable of holding 4 Raptor missiles or two 40 kiloton surface bombs. 2 Pinnaces armed with 2x 1GW ion lasers. 4 Marine Assault drop shuttles 10 cargo shuttles
