Imperator Class Mobile Command Dreadnought

The Imperator Class Mobile Command Dreadnought was designed from the ground up to be the de facto dominating force in any theater it is deployed to. As its name implies, this dreadnought is most often used as the personal flagships of naval admiralty, and is so large that it suffices as a mobile forward base of operations. The vessel is equipped with atmospheric drop bays, orbital lances, and a host of capital-class space weaponry, and is therefore more than able to handle any tactical situation or assist in any military role. Furthermore, the twin booms on the forward section of the Imperator comprises a scaled-down variable-focus Hyper Wave Buster Cannon capable of fleet-wide disintegration or planetary devastation. With this capital weapon alone, the arrival of an Imperator Class Dreadnought into any contested area usually signals a significant elevation of hostilities.

(NOTE: Hyper Wave Buster Cannon not functional in-game, just a lore-building element)


"Yeah, I saw an Imperator once. We'd just cleared the void bay of the Abraxis and I was trying to stay on course. It ain't an unusal thing for a dropship pilot to come screaming out of a void bay in the middle of a space battle, nope. Sure, it's scary the first couple of times, but then you know you've got your Razgriz or Raiden starfighter escort, so you're all set. Only this time, my HUD's telling me that my escort squadron up and died on me in the first 20 seconds of descent. I'm like 'OK, not the first time, I can handle this, yep'. Then suddenly it was like the battle stopped all around me for a few seconds. I found my atmospheric entry no problemo. I kind of thought it was just one of those weird things you hallucinate when you're on combat high, but then my HUD'S telling me that something nasty-big just tore outta warp into the middle of our orbital battlefield. USS Longshanks. Im-pera-tor Class. Big sucker, too. Heard of 'em before. Never seen one of 'em before that day, though. Never seen one since. But damn, didn't everyone just stop whatever they were doing to have a gander at it. Glad it was on our side."
