Accusor Cruiser

1. About the Ship

The Accusor-class is the standard Altresian heavy warship, and one makes the heart of every Altresian battlegroup aside from the Excelsior's battlegroup. These large ships are rather versatile, and can be used for many roles from long-range sniping, to close-in support, to mid-ranged attack.

2. History and Background

The Accusor-class is the AEN's standard large warship of choice, giving them a fair presence on the battlefield that cannot be matched by many other vessels.

4. Inside the Ship

Bridge

The bridge, atop its high tower, is an enormous, cavernous space filled with open spaces dotted with stations and consoles. it has two very large viewports which gives the commander a good view of the battle. The ship's captain sits in a special seat in the center of the room which allows him to command efficiently.

Hangar Bays

The Hangar bays are two cavernous chambers, taking up ten decks worth each. They are a polished, vibrant white with delicate silver and gold inlays along the walls. There hangar bays can accomodate a ship up to 100 meters long, 75 meters wide, and 50 meters tall.

5. Ship Systems

Armored Hull and Hull Integrated Systems

The Hull is made from Titanium, with a composite tiled armor over it.

Propulsion

The Accusor-class uses a Terran Warp drive, which allows it to travel at speeds faster than the speed of light, as well as to travel by folding space to shorten distances between two points.

Its main STL propulsion is a set of eight very large Heavy fusion thrusters, capable of thrusting the ship up to .25c before they simply cannot provide any more momentum.

Power

The Accusor is powered by eight enormous fusion reactors, each of which is directly linked to an engine, but supplies some of its power to the rest of the ship.

Shield Systems

Aromayeth-type shielding is utilized by the Accusor. These shields are capable of being endlessly modulated nearly instantaneously, and the Generator is constructed in such a way that feedback rarely damages it, meaning that a brute force attack that knocks down shields only does so for a matter of seconds before the shields restore themselves. These shields can be made to encompass only certain portions of the ship, while leaving others purposefully exposed.

Weapons Systems

Multi-purpose Guass cannons (14): Heavy Guass cannons which lob projectiles at extremely high fractions of c, allowing them to be explosive out of sheer kinetic energy. These cannons have so much force that they are useful against just about anything. Range: Theoretically unlimited, usefully 150,000 miles Damage: High. The Kinetic force of the projectile releases immense amounts of energy upon impact with shields and armor. Rate of fire: 8 shots per ten seconds Payload: 10,000 rounds per cannon

Turbolaser Arrays (2): These weapons are dual-barreled anti-starship shield penetrating weapons. They can also be anti-shuttle or used as an active countermeasure against solid projectile ammunitions. Range: 20,000 miles Damage: Heavy. Does heavy damage to anything touched by the beam. Damages both shields and armor Rate of fire: 2 shots every 5 seconds Payload: Unlimited, as long as the ship provides power

Pulse laser arrays(200): these weapons are the best defense against fighters, projectile weapons, boarding pods and shuttles available. they are placed all over the hull under panels, and come out when needed. range: 50 miles Damage: medium. can hurt both shields and armor, the pulse type shot can be calibrated to specific wavelengths to allow instant deactivation of fighter shields, like an EMP pulse. Rate of fire: between 10 and 35 pulses per second Payload: unlimited as long as the ship provides power Notes: only used on things inside the ships shields unless in an emergency

Main Weapons

Guass-impelled Torpedo Gatling: The Guass-impelled Torpedo Gatling is an extremely large cannon that fires torpedos like bullets, its four rotating barrels allowing a high rate of fire that no other torpedo launcher can match. Damage:Extremely Heavy Rate of fire: 1 torpedo a second Payload: 15,000 torpedos

6. Vehicle Complement

Shuttles

The Accusor-class can handle about 100 shuttles

Fighters

The Accusor-class has 12 squadrons of fighters, meaning 144 fighters total.
