Dreadnought

The Guristas Pirates are never ones to be left behind and the radical ship-design genius of Korako 'The Rabbit' Kosakami was quickly applied to capital ship development as other pirate and outlaw groups rolled out their fleets. The Caiman is a dreadnought that continues the Guristas emphasis on light strike capability among all their ships. Strong shields, together with powerful cruise missile and torpedo systems, round out a dreadnought that reflects the Rabbit's practice of taking Caldari hulls and twisting them to the preference of the Guristas.

The Blood Raider Covenant has found itself needing to match the capabilities of the Amarr Navy and capsuleer alliances in the face of repeated clashes with both foes. Omir Sarikusa has commanded his fanatical followers to adapt to increased prevalence of capital ships in naval warfare by developing their own, marked by the usual perversion of Amarr ship designs to the battle doctrines of the Blood Raider fleets. The Chemosh class dreadnought is such a ship, sporting the Blood Raiders' signature Energy Nosferatu technology.

Of all the dreadnoughts currently in existence, the imposing Moros possesses a tremendous capacity to fend off gargantuan hostiles while still posing a valid threat to any and all larger-scale threats on the battlefield. By virtue of its protean array of point defense capabilities, and its terrifying ability to unleash rapid and thoroughly devastating amounts of destruction on the battlefield, the Moros is single-handedly capable of turning the tide in a fleet battle.

The shift of Gallente naval doctrine from over-reliance on drones to an acceptance of the reality that heavy guns mounted on well-protected platforms are a key element in winning fleet actions in space is dramatically illustrated by the changing role of the venerable Moros-class dreadnought. Once a vessel that was essentially a super-heavy drone carrier, the Moros-class has fallen into line with other dreadnoughts as a formidable capital gun platform. The Moros Navy Issue variant has been upgraded with heavy armor and repair systems meaning it can sustain tremendous punishment while its upgraded weapons systems deal out destruction on those targets pinned by its enhanced warp disruptors.

The Naglfar is based on a Matari design believed to date back to the earliest annals of antiquity. While the exact evolution of memes informing its figure is unclear, the same distinctive vertical monolith form has shown up time and time again in the wind-scattered remnants of Matari legend. Boasting an impressive versatility in firepower options, the Naglfar is capable of holding its own against opponents of all sizes and shapes. While its defenses don't go to extremes as herculean as those of its counterparts, the uniformity of resilience - coupled with the sheer amount of devastation it can dish out - make this beast an invaluable addition to any fleet.

Versatility in fleet ship designs has long been a watchword of Minmatar naval doctrine, and the Naglfar Fleet Issue continues that tradition by building on the strengths of the already highly-adaptable base Naglfar-class. Across the board upgrades to defenses, improved repair systems, and enhanced projectile weapon systems significantly improve the performance and capabilities of the Republic Fleet's new variant of a revered capital ship design. Improvements to utility and energy systems round out a package that transforms an already formidable fleet and siege action platform into a vessel that any foe would rather avoid.

In terms of Caldari design philosophy, the Phoenix is a chip off the old block. With a heavily tweaked missile interface, targeting arrays of surpassing quality and the most advanced shield systems to be found anywhere, it is considered the strongest long-range installation attacker out there. While its shield boosting actuators allow the Phoenix, when properly equipped, to withstand tremendous punishment over a short duration, its defenses are not likely to hold up against sustained attack over longer periods. With a strong supplementary force, however, few things in existence rival this vessel's pure annihilative force.

Caldari doctrine focuses on distributed fleets with well-equipped and independently operating squadrons of agile strikeforces, nevertheless the State has always maintained a powerful capital fleet capability. Military reforms in the wake of losses suffered by the State during the Triglavian Invasions included significant programs aimed at improving the core dreadnought fleets of the Caldari Navy. The result is the Phoenix Navy Issue: a vessel equipped with heavier shields, significantly upgraded capital missile systems, and enhanced with target-painting technology to improve the application of its powerful weapons against any target this heavily-fanged monster cares to destroy.

The Revelation represents the pinnacle of Amarrian military technology. Maintaining their proud tradition of producing the strongest armor plating to be found anywhere, the Empire's engineers outdid themselves in creating what is arguably the most resilient dreadnought in existence. Added to that, the Revelation's ability to fire capital beams makes its position on the battlefield a unique one. When extended sieges are the order of the day, this is the ship you call in.

Imperial Navy planners regard the Revelation-class dreadnoughts as a mainstay of Amarr military capability, with numerous variants having been developed from the basic class, including several marks of planetary assault dreadnoughts. For fleet actions and sieges of space installations, the Ministry of War required that an upgraded Revelation Navy Issue be equipped with even heavier armor, the most powerful capital energy weapons possible, and an effective capacitor warfare capability. The enhanced naval variant of the storied Revelation-class is a divine beast that amply epitomizes the Amarr way of war. "Let not your sword sleep easy in your hand, till the cities of God be built across heaven's band." – The Scriptures, Book of Graces 11:29

Reacting to the rise of capsuleer capital fleets, the Serpentis Corporation requested that the Angel Cartel’s naval architects design a dreadnought class capital ship. This was done using the Moros hull as the basis for a formidable mobile weapons platform. After receiving the prototype, capital ship engineers from the Cartel’s Guardian Angels division maximized the damage potential of the design. For good measure, the Guardian Angels combined this with advanced Serpentis stasis webification technology.

A huge, capital-scale vessel that appears to be the Triglavian equivalent of the dreadnought classification of warships. The Zirnitra's basic design has been successfully adapted for use with capsule technology, based on lessons learned from retrofitting the numerous Triglavian ship designs recovered from Abyssal Deadspace. The Zirnitra is able to wield the truly titanic Ultratidal Entropic Disintegrator alongside an array of support modules typically favored in Triglavian designs. These include energy neutralizers, pulse weapons and a long-range remote repair capability. Zirnitra Subclade of Veles Clade reclaimed adaptation schema for 2,187 tactical troika classification vessel in response to profound now-time pressure of prayer from Detached Executive Troika for Sublimation of Poshlost Flow. Zirnitra Subclade offers revised adaptation schema for 2,187 tactical troika classification vessel into the cladeflow without proving for advancing-time dispersal to strategic troika by affirmation and imperative of the Convocation of Triglav Outside the Struggle. – partial translation of data included in recovered design schematics of the Zirnitra
