The Pax Imperialis-class was designed to complement the Raptor Imperialis fleet with a heavy hitting leadship. Also fully automated and under the control of a GEMINI captain and EPHEMERIS droid, the Pax Imperialis Battle Barges are extremely potent enemies and send alongside their smaller brethren where a much larger stick is needed to beat someone into compliance, back or for the first time.
As the second of the two fully automated ships in the Battlefleet of the Hegemony, the Battle Barge is a much more frequent sight than the ships of the Legionis or crewed ships overall. Its weapons are for direct confrontations, engaging the enemy at full speed and breaking their spine before they know what was coming for them. Additionally they are more than capable of conducting orbital support and assaults, the Skytroopers aboard number in the legions, spitting out boarding pods like bees from a massive hive.
Though different to the Raptor Imperialis, this class offers some amenities for organic passengers or commanders. The bridge offers a section for a humanoid staff to be present and plenty of technology and computing power to serve as a flagship of a fleet or to oversee an invasion and pacification.
