Welcome to Eagle Industries, a startup company that brings you the best brand spanking new military hardware out there. If you're looking for an honest, environmentally responsible product; you've come to the right place!

Class description
Dreadnoughts / Battleships (BB) are heavy surface vessels, designed around heavy APS gun platforms, firing rail assisted shells at enemies, while packing a decently heavy armour to soak up all but the heaviest rounds. These vessels focus on engaging large surface ships and airships, having only a comparably light secondary armament and little to no missiles. A relatively light torpedo armament is usually present, however, to give these vessels some means of engaging submarines. These vessels are best to be escorted by dedicated AA ships.

The ship
The Orion class of Dreadnoughts is a through-development of the Jupiter class. Using the same setup of four quad turrets, it stands as no surprise that the Orion relies on guns for its damage potential. Compared to the Jupiter, the guns use more sizeable shells and a larger rail charge, allowing for vastly superior performance. The increased size of the vessel allows for better armor protection, an extra AA gun and increased numbers of engines. As a result, Orion is able to take on most of what Neter can throw at it, excluding some of the largest and dangerous foes, such as the Megalodon or a few SD units. When it was first conceived, it could tackle the Megalodon in a stalemate. An arms race ensued, and the Megalodon received updates and upgrades, degrading the Orion's performance. Eagle Industries has sought to improve the main guns and increase the enginepower, but the Orion is stressed to the limits when engaging foes like the Megalodon. Keen (manual) handling may give you the upper hand in such situations. The AA guns are dual use, as they attack both aircraft and missiles alike. This adds to the survivability of the vessel.
