Battlestar Imperialis

FOR GREAT JUSTICE, DUTY AND HONOR!

Overview
Battlestar Imperialis line vessels are the pinnacle of M.A.C.O. technology that are able to command multiple sectors of space with little to no strain on the crew or it's resources. A Battlestar was designed to instill both fear in our enemies as well as pride in our civilian's hearts; allowing the masses to feel both secure and unstoppable. Due to the rarity of these ships in the field it has not been officially confirmed by the Kadesh to actually exist; while the Aeon's completely refuse to acknowledge the potentiality of such a vessel being made by America.


 * Description -
 * Bridge: The Battlestar Imperialis line was designed with one goal in mind: Victory. As such the bridges of these vessels are usually enormous, albeit crammed with communications and control equipment for all of the major systems onboard including flight deck overview computers and emergency engineering monitors. While not as luxurious as other ships within it's weight class such as the Judgement, the layout is efficient and allows for greater command over the entire ship in tight situations. There is a real presence on the Command Deck of a Battlestar, one that is seething with purpose.
 * Tactical Systems: Battlestars are built from the ground up to excel in combat situations and because of this their tactical prowess is almost unmatched. Utilizing state of the art technologies such as the Advanced M.A.C.O. targeting computer which improves all combat essential systems; maintaining them at peak efficiency for as long as automated bypasses are applicable. The Projectile Trajectory Extrapolator collects data on both enemy and friendly munitions, calculating where the weapons are going within a very precise margin. The Extrapolator compensates for any known variables within the battle and can be augmented for situational hazards or impairments by technicians. These improvements, combined with the upgraded weapon systems and TCM hyper conduits, have improved accuracy to 98.97% across all platforms, simultaneously. The unique weapon's layout of the Battlestar Imperialis Class was chosen to be as devastating as possible. Instead of the conventionally accepted Fore/Aft pattern a new, more suitable Port/Starboard, Fore/Aft, Beam/Keel design has taken hold which exploits the overall size of the vessel to maximize both offensive and defensive capabilities.
 * Hull: After nearly 30 years of extensive field testing as well as research and development efforts by various organizations the Battlestar's Hull composition is specifically chosen to be as resilient as possible against as many forms of damage that it might encounter. The entire ship is coated with an inner and outer hull layer and quad-reinforced structural integrity grid, ensuring that in the event that the powerful shield arrays fail; the hull be able to withstand significant damage before giving way. Strategically placed Emergency force field emitters are able to cordon off areas in the event of a catastrophic inner hull breach, however the vessel also has massive retractable tungsten shock panels that can be deployed to add extra protection to vital exposed systems - such as the deflector or engines.
 * Flight Decks: Battlestars have access to 4 Flight Decks in total, with 2 mounted on both Port and Starboard sides of the ship respectively. Out of the two Flight Decks per side, one is capable of housing as well as launching/recalling small support craft such as fighters, bombers, or civilian craft. The other one is large enough to allow the use of larger more powerful vessels such as escorts, destroyers, or even a frigate. Depending on the complement composition a fully outfitted Battlestar can carry as many as 8 Escorts/4 Destroyers/2 Frigates and up to 125 support craft. Battlestars Classes Praetor and above have onboard ship repair, outfitting, and even assembly plants which allow them to manufacture replacement support craft or repair severely damaged ships provided they have the raw materials to do so.
