Ship: Nexus Class Battleship
Nationality: Terellian Alliance
Ships in Svc: 1 (Nexus)
Description: The Nexus Class Battleship was designed to be the most
destructive warship ever spaced by the Alliance. Armed
with 8 powerful Gamma Class Lasers, 4 Fusion torpedo
Launchers, 4 Mk7 Interceptor Launchers and 8 Particle
cannon emplacements, this ship is quite capable of
destroying smaller ships in a single salvo. However, all
of the power of her weaponry comes at a steep price,
without proper escort, the battleship would certainly
fall prey to smaller, more maneuverable opponents. It
also lacks a fully functional CIC, so while this ship
could certainly be used as the core and command centre of
a battlegroup, any admiral and command staff would be hard
put to find a comfortable place to do business. As such,
this ship is typically called out to support a carrier
battlegroup, with the admiralty stationed onboard the carrier.
This ship was designed at the same time the Spectre Class
destroyer was designed, and the first keels of both ships
were layed at the same time, but design and construction
problems delayed its deployment for quite some time. The
origional plans called for an armament of 8 X-Ray Lasers
hard mounted to be fired in tandem, but with the development
of the Gamma Class Lasers and the construction delays the
project had already suffered, the Admiralty decided to
switch out the primary beam weapon type for the more powerfull
of the two types. It is rumored that with the development of
the Athena Class ASM, this class will undergo yet another
refit program soon to mount the heavier missile. The Nexus
class ship has never been tested in battle, however
simulations show that she is quite capable of defending
herself given the proper escort of fighters and capital ships.
Live fire combat trials have been scheduled for late next
year.
Model Complete, .def is pretty ruff, but almost there, 90% complete, still got a bit more testing to do.
