Overview
The Free Worlds League's first Battleship was designed in the Ionus
system at the Illium Shipyards and launched in 3108. The ship is designed
to face down against the WarShips of the Lyran Commonwealth, Wolf Empire and
Capellan Confederation.
Capabilities
The Imperial-class Battleship is able to match the Lyran Mjolnir
class for speed and is able to fight naval sized opponents with a mix of
Naval Gauss Rifles, Naval autocannons and Naval Lasers. The naval autocannon
armament in particular stands out with eleven "trip-turrets" covering every
angle of the hull. For defence against fighters and DropShips the class is
equipped with a variety of Heavy Particle Cannons and Light Gauss Rifles.
For missile defence the ship is equipped with an extensive grid of Laser
Anti-Missile Systems which never run out of ammunition.
Supporting each Imperial-class is thirty-six aerospace fighters,
twenty small craft, two DropShips and ninety-six Battle Armour troopers. The
ship can carry two hundred-and forty passengers, though these are often
occupied by the pilots and support staff of the aerospace fighter pilots.
Finally each Imperial is equipped with an advanced Mark II Lithium Fusion
Battery and is capable of carrying over eighty-four thousand tons of cargo.
Deployment
The first Imperial-class Battleship was commissioned into the
District of Marik's navy in 3108. The MS Grand Marik instantly becoming the
largest WarShip in service of a Free World's League navy. Parliment has
called for vessels of the Free Worlds League to retake the FWLS designator
but the Captain-General has refused to support this until parliament agrees
to the recreation of Federal troops under the command of Parliament and
independent of the District states.
