Description

Its been a while since I drew a spaceship eh? It took a while to finally think up a new design but nevertheless, viola! Ladies and gentlemen, may I introduce to you the Cavalier-class Battlecruiser, a truly awe-inspiring class of ships.

Designed by Rocksin Heavy Industries on Mars in 2450 to quell the rebel forces that held most of Earth, the battlecruisers are older than most of the ships in the fleet by about 60-70 years, but limited budget and natural resources demanded that the ships go through extensive modernizations throughout the years to be combat capable with newer models of ships.
Modernizations include updated electronics, new weaponry, and powerful fusion core engines, to name a few.
The term battlecruiser is used loosely with these ships, because even though they are smaller in size, they can often perform tasks on levels that of battleships, and even dreadnoughts from demolishing enemy forces, to hauling away disabled vessels from the battlefield.
Fortunately, because they were built earlier, humanity did not realize how much raw materials existed throughout the galaxy, 86 battlecruisers were constructed, although losses from battle over time have reduced that number to about 77. However the large construction effort drained almost all of the usable resources from the solar system, so humanity has had to expand out into deep space to scavange for minerals, mining planets and asteroids, much to the dismay of many hostile alien lifeforms.

The 5 large Magnetic Accelerator Cannons mounted on the bow can make quick work of enemy ships, if hit in the right spots.

The large Plasma-Ion cannon located underneath the control deck of the ship is designed to penetrate and disable the heavy shields of alien ships, with superheated, radioactive, plasma based slugs.

6 large rail cannons located on either side of the bow are designed to hammer away at the enemy's smaller ships, with large tungsten based slugs, similar in design to those use by the MAC cannons.

10 smaller rail turrets located on both sides and the underneath of the ship that are designed to handle any ships that come alongside the ship.

20 total missile launchers, located underneath the first that 3 MAC cannons, and underneath the entire front bow, can launch hundreds of self propelled ordinance at enemy ships or ground forces.

Hundreds of anti-air and anti-asteroid turrets located all throughout the ship designed to keep pesky fighters away from the ship.
