Rio-grande01




Among the largest warships in the Free Planets Alliance' navy, these leviathan battle ships were slow and ungainly, but provided FPA fleets with much-needed firepower. While FPA cannons were typically much smaller and less powerful than their Imperial counterparts, FPA Battleships more than made up for that weakness through sheer volume. This also provided FPA battleships with a redundancy Imperial warships lacked--they could maintain combat readiness in spite of multiple weapon failures. These giant battleships served primarily in command roles, directing the movements of the FPA's fleets in battle against the Galactic Empire. Several variations of this class of vessel exists, such as the Achilles, Patroklos, Perun, Ku-Horin and the Leonidas. Some radically different variations also appear, like the Krishna, Shiva, Agateram and the Mauria. While some of the models, like the Leonidas, appear to be mass produced, it is not certain whether all the other battleships types follow that trend or are one of a kind vessels.
