- Heavy Artillery - Also known as Long-Guns, these long range cannons fire heavy-explosive ordinance rather than relying on energy weapons, they're ineffective at close range where flak cannons would typically be used in their stead.
- Orbital Bombardment (aka Orbital Strike Cannons) - are used to target worlds unleashing heavy explosive munitions down upon land units and structures; like the Long Guns these are not energy weapons. As these cannons are devastating in power and size both, the vessel has been fitted with no more than five for the sake of power regulation across the ship.
- Strong Air-to-Air Combat - built primarily for space combat.
- Heavy plated Armor - Reinforced Quadanium Steel provides a stronger defense against the oppositions typical ordinance.
- Cloaking Device - The ability to be concealed via active Radar (Excludes physical sight).
- Slow moving - a Goliath vessel with a strong arm yet falls short in pace.
- Limited Power output - Having to alternate power to various parts of the ship due to high demand and lower output than optimal. The Vessel cannot fly at top speeds whilst engaging in combat for example, and operates at either at full combat proficiency, or 1/3rd when mobile.
- Cloaking Device - Due to power requiring regulation across the vessel in order to maximize combatant effectiveness, the amount of power required to keep the Cloaking field in place has a tremendous impact on offensive output and overall power to the shields and heavy ordinance against other vessels. Not only this but the Cloaking Device does not shield the vessel from physical sight and only serves to cloud it from the detection of medium to long range scanners.
Built out of the Gyndine Shipyards recently commissioned by the Government of the sector of Commenor, The QueensGuard is the first major Battlecruiser to be built for the formerly small and isolated world of trade. Since seeking to expend their horizons to the sector (hex), the leadership of Commenor found it in themselves to put priority into the establishment and strengthening of their military and naval armada. While having positioned themselves as a pacifist state, the sudden interest in arms and naval vessels of war have taken the attention of the general media in and around Commenor leading some to question the nature of the new fleet. This vessel is however despite speculation, purely defensive and has been commisioned under the title of Queensguard, to be part of the royal fleet representing the Monarchy itself.
Entering into the provincial military industry as a new player within the Galaxy, this vessel has not been made of state-of-the-art technologies but has been adapted from a variety of examples, most commonly the Bothawui Shipyards and the vessels that came from their making. With the former Galactic Republic having resided over the nearby territories as well as the One Sith of the distant past, Commenor has had the luxury of experiencing and entering into research of both fleets and technologies, using whatever they might to empower themselves for the sake of future protection.
Stations range from Engineering to medical, all decks working to provide the ships crew with the best in support possible, Commenor has paid out in full to give their navy a strong life on deck. Research and Development though hindered while aboard the vessel as opposed to back home, will spend much of its time looking into biology and technologies for the sake of bettering its own (Weapons modifications for example).
In synchronization with the advanced shields, a cloaking device has been fitted to the vessel yet does not defy physical sight given the massive proportions of the vessel and it's struggles in outputting power to all armaments and primary and secondary functions, this cloaking device while keeping the ship off of any radar detection, cannot be used within combat effectiveness either, pulling to much power away from the crafts offensive capabilities.
[member="Ardgal Raxis"] and Justice Yards have volunteered to further finance and support the endeavor by offering to provide materials and technologies for the vessel in order to drop into zones of conflict when and where necessary with the munitions required to defend themselves.
