IMPERIAL STAR

Picture

Universe: Gamma

Story: Galactic Conquest

First seen: Not yet

Type: Star class Dreadnought

Year(s): 2309

Crew: 2000

Passengers: 4000 (in a pinch), 2000 (in comfort)

Top Speed: 8030c / 1300g

Weapons: 16 Ring-gun batteries (4 cannons each), 48 other Ring guns, 26 Torpedo tubes, many point-defence guns.

Defence: Triple-layer regenerating shielding. Wide range of jamming, electronic deception and remote-hacking facilities, with a dedicated electronic warfare staff.

Capacity: Four fighter squadrons, two bomber squadrons. Can act as a mobile repair / "fabrication" facility (using ready-made or salvaged parts) for an Aquatic class destroyer.

Length: 3000m

Width: XXXX

Height: 800m

Fuel Type: Hydrogen

General Info:

The flagship of Earth's Imperial fleet at the time of the Great Galactic War, the Imperial Star is the only ship of it's class, and is nominally commanded by the president of Earth himself. Her triple-layer regenerative shielding is unique, sychronised by a special process that the Earth Empire keeps a closely-guarded secret, though they do allow other factions the chance to copy their less-sophisticated double-layer model.

The Imperial Star is, in addition to being one of the most powerful single ships in the galaxy, almost a mobile base in herself. In additon to her various fighter and bomber squadrons, she carries a number of more general purpose shuttles and some FTL-capable diplomatic "runabouts", too. She can also dock and repair a damaged Aquatic class destroyer and, after a major engagement, remove salvagable parts from multiple destroyers and fabricate a new one from them. This is a pretty rough-and-ready procedure, though, and one otherwise best left to dedicated shipyards.

Variants:

Only one was ever built.

Origin / Inspiration:

Inspired by my cousin's design for "his" own flagship in an old story he wrote, which was called the Empire Star. Also it is inspired by the TOS / TMP-era Star Trek federation vessels, and the Tsar's Super-Dreadnought from the game Colony Wars.
