Overview :
The Phalanx Class began as a reverse engineering of the Monsoon Class that was secretly purchased in the year 2619, by destroying the vessel and studying it construction techniques, the Rim World shipbuilders used this information to begin a rough draft of a Battleship for the Rim World Republic. In 2643 Selanta and Tadeo Amaris took great interest in the development of the new warship and used the cover of building up its armed forces to hide the exspense of the construction. Also a secret facility was constucted in the asteroid belt of the planet Star's End. It would be here where the Phalanx would be born. It took almost 40yrs for the secret facility to be assembled, in 2661 the first keel was laid and worked started on the Phalanx.
Capabilites :
Designed to engage and destroy any enemy vessel she would encounter, she would also act as an battering ram to pound through enemy formations.
History :
16 of these mighty vessels would be deployed in the Terran Hegemony. The Stefan Amaris would be the lead warship for the fleet sent to guard the convoys of troop transports leaving the Republic. 6 would stay behind and guard the republic from the expected counter-attack after the coup. On December 2766 the systematic destruction of the Star League began, soon after the orders from Stefan, the 1st, 4th and 6th Republic Fleet attacked Star League warships, jump stations, civilian space habitats and military space habitats. The few League warships put up a valiant fight but were soon crushed or captured. Losses were light for the Republic fleet. In 2767 the Angry Star League Army smashed into the hapless Republic and it was a bloodbath for the 2nd, 3rd and 5th fleets. Of the 6 Phalanx Battleships only two survived one, the Selanta Amaris jumped to the Star's End facility and was never seen again, the other the Richard Amaris was captured, stripped of its weapons and turned into a prison barge. When the Star League recovered and rebuilt its forces it attacked the Hegomony worlds. The Phalanx Class was at the forefront of all defenses. Practice of the Republic forces was too use the Phalanx as the command ship of a fleet. This practice insured the destruction of the vessels. In one case it seems that the SDS Caspers mistook a Phalanx and destroyed it in the middle of a naval battle, it seems that the IFF transponders were destroyed and the FoF indentification was lost.
Only one ship survived the war, the afore mentioned Richard Amaris, it remained a prison barge and would leave with the Star League. its fate is unknown.
