Martyr-Class Battleship

The Martyr-Class Battleship is a design revisitation of the Revenant-Class Super Battleship currently deployed with the 8th Night Lords Helldiver Legion. This updated class specifically tackles issues of scale and unique technologies used in the construction of the Revenant-Class to make the overall ship design more easily scalable as the resource cost of the original design made it unwieldy and difficult to produce in the numbers required for the Second Galactic War. While many design features were retained from the Revenant, such as the rapid charge coilgun system or external parasite craft docking for Super Destroyers, they have been scaled down. However, most of the firepower on the ship has been kept, to include the Point Defense Systems and secondary batteries maintaining the same caliber and number of weapon systems... at the expense of crew facilities and much of the Revenant Class's carrying capacity.

The Martyr-Class achieves this with heavy use of automated weapon feeding systems and computer assisted targeting. With these automation systems in place, the class was able to be reduced in overall size by an impressive 80% of total volume, with little reduction in punch.

Other key differences line in the primary weapon systems. The 520mm Autoloading Coilguns were redesigned into a 380mm pattern to allow for similar capabilities to other FA Navy fleet vessels, while maintaining a more efficient logistics chain. Meanwhile, the Siege Cannon and VETO cannons were removed, freeing up critical space for necessary machinery and crew quarters. The Martyr-Class also lost the fabrication facilities of the Revenant, and instead operates with a far more limited capacity for repairs and maintenance of the strike craft and vehicles carried on board - with an approximately 64% decrease in vehicle capacity. The Martyr-Class does keep the ability to dock Super Destroyers as a parasite craft for docking; however, it is reduced to two Super Destroyers, instead of the original capacity of eight for the Revenant.

The Martyr-Class uses a standard Alcubierre drive of similar pattern used by the Jutland-Class Dreadnoughts.
