(ROS-5) Trebonius Mk. II Class Heavy Cruiser

Message from R.O.S-5: (Beware, Solar Defense Corps & Terra Nova Starworks. It looks like you got competition.)

Ship Lore:
With the defection of the Proteus Class prototype, the Mark I proving itself a failure, and the loss of so many R.O.S. warships fighting the Solar Defense Corps and the Terran Space Force, the Board of Directors quickly decided it was time to change their building style and their tactics. Designed and built secretly in collaboration with the Martian Navy and the remnants of the People's Republic of Earth, the Trebonius Mk. II Heavy Cruiser was born (With some design elements “borrowed” from the Terra Nova Starworks and the Solar Defense Corps). Like most ships developed by R.O.S-5, the Trebonius Mk. II is a heavily armed combat-capable spacecraft; Armed with 6x Artillery Turrets, 4x Assault Cannon Turrets, 4x Rocket Turrets, 14x Gatling Turrets, 4x Forward-Facing Railguns, and 4x Forward-Facing Rocket Launchers. The ship is protected by layers of heavy and light armor, and can even defeat an Asterion Class Starcruiser (Developed by the Terra Nova Starworks). It's important to note that the Trebonius Mk. II is not equipped to house any small craft of any kind and instead focuses on Artillery and long-range attacks. The Trebonius Mk. II, like its predecessor, is propelled by a combination of Hydrogen and Ion Thrusters equally distributed across the hull for good maneuverability. Four large Hydrogen Thrusters located at the rear serve as booster engines so the craft can escape if heavily damaged or being pursued by enemy forces. The Trebonius Mk. II (like most R.O.S-5 ships) is equipped with a single standard Jump Drive for in-system and interstellar travel. The Trebonius Mk. II is powered by 4x Large Nuclear Reactors, 12x Batteries, and 16x Solar Panels. The Trebonius Mk. II features a Build/Self-Repair projector that is useful in repairing the ship whenever it's damaged. For production, the Trebonius Mk. II features 2x Refineries and 2x Assemblers (each equipped with power modules for energy efficiency). The ship is operated by a standard crew of 8, but can accommodate 4 cadets and has been outfitted with proper facilities to help train said cadets. Because this ship is considerably expensive to produce, only three of this class of ship have been built by a secret shipyard in an unknown region of space far beyond any human colonies. Despite the enormous price tag, the Trebonius Mk. II has received high praise from R.O.S-5’s Board of Directors, who proclaim the Trebonius Mk. II is a worthy successor compared to its predecessor.

Please Note: The Trebonius Mk. II is designed to operate in space ONLY. This ship is NOT meant to take off or land on a planet or moon's surface.

Author’s Notes:
I designed this ship to replace the Mark One after I came to the harsh reality that it was no longer suitable and had many design flaws that were addressed by an esteemed colleague who shall remain nameless. This ship was heavily inspired by the Rocinate from the Expanse, the Warlock Class Destroyer from Babylon Five, as well as other ships created by Aragath, Malmhrid, Taidyr, and finally… the Theseus Class Starcruiser by Captain Robertson (someone who I have great admiration for, and knows what he’s doing. Mark my words). I hope this ship proves to be a worthy successor to its predecessor, and may it serve you well. By the way, she's survival ready and she's battle-tested.
