[SIZE=11pt]Description: [/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]Conceptually, the Phalanx Heavy Destroy exists an an analog to the massive Imperial vessels seen throughout history, and in the current times, though showing a Chiss minimalism compared to such warships: a single of these vessels actually made it into production the pride of the Empire of the Hand and the flagship of it’s de-facto “Emperor”, the Minotaur.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]Forged of the scuttled fleet of Tsair’ra’Nuruodo, mainly those mighty Megamasers that would not be implemented into the ground defenses of Nirauan. A last line of defense and one of the few major battle ready warships that would go and remove the largest dangers that threaten the Hand, Minotaur is in truth far from comparable to the mightest warships brought to into the fold by many groups but in the context of the meager resources and holdings of the Empire of the Hand Minotaur is indeed an impressive achievement.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]Making it all the less surprising why it took almost 2 and a half decades for Minotaur to finish completion, for the longest time it served simply as the icon of the sheer and raw determination of the Empire of the Hand. But no project lasts forever, slowly but surely resources were funneled into the Minotaur project, weapons were primed, armor plates were added, and slowly the shape of the Empire of the Hand’s might took form.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]Minotaur has rarely seen deployment beyond small engagements, as losing the ship would be devastating due to the amount of effort put into it’s creation: as such the leader of the Empire of the Hand, Tsair’ra’Nuruodo, uses it as his personal flagship. The “Director” of the Empire of the Hand rarely seeing much combat opportunity.[/SIZE]
