Leonidas-class

The Leonidas-class battleship is a class of battleship in service the United Nations Navy.
Though already decades into its service, the Leonidas-class is one of the newest additions to the UNN fleet, introduced as part of a poorly funded and largely unsuccessful attempt to modernize the fleet, before it fell into complete stagnancy.
At only 270 meters long, the Leonidas-class is small for a battleship, presenting a smaller target for hostile weapons during long-range engagements. However, it is plagued with problems. Despite its small size, the Leonidas-class suffers from poor acceleration resulting from its low-quality S-250 series Epstein drives, units considered outdated even before the Leonidas entered service. Low-quality targeting suites also affect the efficiency of its torpedoes and Point Defense Cannons, requiring more to be added to increase effective point defense and torpedo impact probability in a sort of "spray'n'pray" mentality. This, however, further weighed the ship down and made it even slower. The ship's poor agility and speed earned the class the nicknames "Lead Leos" or "Brick Buckets." In addition to these problems, its Railguns could not be adjusted while underway, forcing the ship to strafe an engagement zone at a drift or even coming to a relative stop once within engagement range.
The ship does have some positive traits; it is practically unreachable by torpedos due to its relatively small size and high concentration of PDCs, and it is considered effective as an assault ship with its modular troop barracks and sizable M-type Dropship, allowing it to carry and deploy more UN Marines than even some dedicated assault craft. However, its sluggishness makes it vulnerable to railguns, especially as its own cannons are heavily outranged by most other ships carrying them.
Overall, while still a somewhat reliable warship, the slow, heavy, and poorly planned Leonidas-class stands as a symbol of the UN Navy's dire need for a drastic overhaul
