Heiderlaz Battleship

As with the Dreadnoughts of the UruKhar Fleet, Battleships are also a sign of prestige among the Noble ranked Officer class of the Fleet. The Heiderlaz is a new model which borrows strongly from an older design, the Gaidenar class Battleship. The new version is nearly 400meters in length, and boast some of the most advanced sensors, electronics, command and control systems, as well as the latest of the weapon systems the fleet has to offer. This battleship is fast in normal space as it uses a main drive similar to the Fast Battlecruisers of the Mertol class. Pictured is on belonging to the chief of Imperial Security Fleet, other vessels also likewise come in different schemes.

These vessels take advantage of the modular systems, making construction as well as repairs fast and easy for the dockyards in orbit on the surface to do. As with all vessels, it is equipped with Gravity Manipulator Generators, and can land in special berths on the ground for making repairs in atmosphere. The number of this Battleship is unknown, but it may totally replace the Gaidenar, although their weapon configurations are very different, and serve different purposes from each other. Another difference is the added bow section, Braking thrusters can be seen, as with several hatches.

Using the most up to date armor with anti-beam coatings and also the charged armor field, the Hiderlaz uses the warp shields to block solid attacks as well. Armed, armored, swift and maneuverable, the Heiderlaz is a potent predator.

serving in Battleship divisions, or command ships for cruiser and destroyer squadrons, this ship does provide not just firepower, but it can keep up with their squadrons as well.
