- Putting the Dread back in Dreadnought: The Decimation-Class' size and armament could prove most terrifying and demoralising to enemy troops, while being a symbol for friendly forces to rally behind.
- Mobile Headquarters: The Dreadnought has five floors designated to the Ministry of War, so it can serve as a mobile HQ for the essential staff of the Ministry.
- Armed to the Teeth: The Decimation-Class is considerably heavily armed, and is most capable of destroying any insufficiently armed or defended ship or fleet that is unfortunate or imbecilic enough to cross it's path.
- Defensive and Protective: The Dreadnought is most capable of defending itself, with entire systems dedicated to counter-electronic warfare, anti-ordnance and shield systems, aswell as possessing interdiction countermeasures.
- Slow but Steady: While the Hell Hound's build is stream lined, it is considerably slow.
- Isotope 5: The Isotope 5 Generators in use by the Hell Hound to power it's weaponry are sensitive, and should they become unstable or damaged, would need to be entirely deactivated for repairs to be made, lest the Decimation-Class be entirely destroyed or made unsalvageable.
- Singular Force: The Decimation-Class has little-to-no hangar space, limited to a maximum of ten squadrons docked within the ship at one time.
- Slow-Turning: The Hell-Hound is slow to turn, and hard to maneuver, making it vulnerable to attacks from directions in which it is not protected.
- Troopless Transport: The Decimation-Class has very little accommodation for personnel not apart of it's designated crew and guard detail, making it impractical to use as a transport.
The Confederate Naval Ship Hell Hound, Decimation-Class Heavy Dreadnought, Flagship of Minister of War Caesarius Alexander Kenway. A grand title befitting a grander ship. Born of a concept many a month ago, the Decimation-Class Heavy Dreadnought was designed to be the pinnacle of military might and destructive efficiency. So it was designed with standard turbolasers, some autocannons and some ion cannons. It passed all the tests and marks with flying colours and waving flags.
But it wasn't good enough.
The turbolasers were good. But they weren't great. The ion cannons worked well, but they didn't work amazingly well. The ship was good, but it wasn't the best. It survived months in it's inferior state, while the Ministry of War reserved funds and redesigned blueprints. Plans were drawn up and scratched out, paper was written on, balled up, then straightened out again. It was a process months in the working, many of those spent researching the best possible weaponry and systems they could get.
At the end of the day, price wasn't the concern, it was what they did with the money.
So they tore out the 3,000 standard turbolasers previously fitted on The Hell Hound and replaced them with 1,500 Light Turbolasers, and 1,500 Heavy Turbolasers, they tore out the 1,000 Quad Turbolasers and 200 Ion Cannons and retrofitted them. All with technology from Roble Manufacturing. It's proton torpedo and missile launchers were torn out and replaced by the combined courtesy of The Dire Wolves Mercenary Company and Roble Manufacturing.
The ship's hangars were stripped of fighters and other spacecraft, and fitted to host the TNHPPC within the ship's central split. Two Mass Driver Cannons were fitted to the ship's top side, courtesy of The Dire Wolves. This left only small side hangars and moonpools, capable of holding no more than 10 squadrons of craft between them all. Three different targeting systems were implemented, two from The Dire Wolves, one from Roble Manufacturing. An Electronic Warfare Suite designed by The Dire Wolves was also implemented, along with an advanced fire suppression system, a tactical command network, an upgraded sensor array, and an emergency beacon. The ship's entire movement system was revamped, fitting sublight ion drives and precision drives of Roble design aswell as an advanced hyperdrive, also designed by Roble Manufacturing.
The Decimation-Class's defensive systems were also completely redesigned and redesignated. Flak cannon emplacements that were once part of it's offensive armament were moved to better suit defensive needs, point defense octets and point defense laser cannons were built in. An interdiction field countermeasures package was added, aswell as a tactical ordnance jammer. It's literal defensive system was also replaced by one of Roble Manufacturing design.
So, the end result is a brutal Machine of War capable of leaving a trail of destruction in it's wake. A relentless tool of Death. The balance between survival and suffering at the flick of mercy's switch.
