Praetoria-class battleship

The Praetoria-class (meaning Flagship in Latin) is a heavy battleship designed to form the major component of an assault fleet. Heavily armed with many deck cannons, it can provide long range firepower to overwhelm shields or break through heavy armour on opposing ships or stations. HE missile and nuclear missile launchers provide additional fire support against heavier or stationary targets while numerous point defence lasers do a sufficient job of preventing enemy missiles and shots from reaching the battleship. For extra defence against enemies trying to sneak up on the ship from the rear, a mine launcher is placed between the thruster arrays to deter enemies from tailing or pursuing the battleship.

A thick belt of armour coats the side of the ship, giving ample defence when combined with the point-defence turrets. Two front facing large shield generators provide additional defence from head-on assaults as well as protects the front nuclear missile launchers. A rear mounted bridge gives it extra survivability in long fights, along with a sensor array to see threats from an increased distance. Four hyperdrives allow it to jump from system to system, giving support where needed. To give it increased longevity away from a station, the ship features multiple factories to replenish its ammunition, missile parts, and mines, so it can make assaults deep into enemy territory without needing to pause and resupply. To aid the crew with getting around, in particular with keeping the weapons supplied with ammunition during combat, several corridors have moving walkways to get them around quicker.

The battleship is an excellent flagship for any fleet, being heavily armed and armoured against any threat it may encounter. Big guns deal superb damage against armour and shields alike, while the thick armour protects it and other ships in the fleet. The factories allow it to be self-sufficient to a degree while hyperdrives allow it to get around the system and galaxy easily.
