With the success of the IVI SPOW-1 'Quan Tou', new Orbital Warships quickly went production. However, the 'Quan Tou' was easier to design because it was light and was rather small for a warship. The 'Quan Tou' used to be categorized as a frigate but lately, has been reclassed as a large Gunboat. Many attempts on larger ships were abandoned but the SPOW-2c came out as the first successful massive capital ship. 300m long and 80m wide at the forward battlements, the 'Huo Yan Shan' is an intimidating sight. In low orbit the Huo Yan Shan experiences great difficulty sustaining high cruising speeds because much of the reactors' power is directed to counteracting the force of gravity. But that doesn't stop the 'Huo Yan Shan' from delivering the wrath of the heavens. It's four Grade B High Powered Plasma Batteries can propel superheated Plasma Orbs accurately to ta distance of 70km and inaccurately to 150km. These devastating cannons are for bombardment purposes however. For staving of potential interstellar boarding attacks or raming strategies by the scrin, the 'Hou Yan Shan' has on it's bow 2 turrets armed with 4 8.in High Powered Mass Drivers each that can effectively penetrate E/B-field shields or plasma shields even. When reared, 2 rearguard turrets each armed with a 5 in. High Powered Mass Drivers will take the challenge until the Huo Yan Shan has maneovered to face the threat.
Ty-Resurreccion WARTEC labs provided the Huo Yan Shan with a moderate strength E/B-field shield too to stave off misguided mass driven projectiles and to minimize projectile damage by almost 30%.
The largest problem posed onto capital ships aren't other capital ships but swarms of anti-ship bombers. For this, the 'Huo Yan Shan' has 6 'lightning fast' auto tracking Laser Turrets (developed by AuTra) to shoot down approaching fighters/bombers.
Still, IVI warships' atmospheric combat capabilities are greatly diminished. So the SPOW series are not as devastating as they would be in freespace.
Still, most New Xiao Mei citizens polled believe that the new warships are more than capable to defend New Xiao Mei from the Scrin on an orbital basis. And if ever the Scrin try to step on New Xiao Mei territories, the Armor, led by Defense Gen. Sun Tzu Ty (and in which Isserel himself will participate in with his specialized light tank
), will meet them head on.
Meh, maybe I should right a fiction book based on all these eh?
what is it lacking?
