Imperator - Class Fleet Carrier
A very large spacecraft carrier used by the Cypher Dominion.
The Imperator - class, like any carrier, sports a massive hangar bay which allows the ship to project firepower at huge ranges, as well as launching scout ships that also operate at long range. The starship also has some regular armament for self defence at shorter ranges, but these are rarely used as it is rare that enemies get close enough to it before it retreats.
Propulsion
For power it uses several (12) large fusion reactors which run very efficiently. This allows the ship to run for a long time with its large hydrogen tank. This hydrogen tank also supplies power to its thrusters which work by fusing hydrogen and directing the resulting radiation backwards. This produces a very large amount of force allowing the ship to accelerate surprisingly fast. Its RCS thrusters also work in this way, so it can rotate rapidly.
Weapons & Armament
The ship is armed with several smaller plasma cannon turrets as its primary turreted armament. These are built to be able to fire in all directions. It also carries some high power laser cannons for dealing with lighter targets. Against targets that are designed to resist energy weapons, the ship also comes with various missiles that are built to use a corkscrew maneuver and avoid enemy CIWS. They are not always successful due to the popularity of laser CIWS
Armor and defense
It is defended with several layers of thinner armour relative to most ships of its size. This is to make the ship faster, which it mostly relies on for its own protection, so ironically less armour tends to make it more survivable. It has armour so that it can protect itself against anything that does come close. The ship is also decently shielded, with an additional layer being a disc shield. The disc shield is much stronger than the bubble shield and is used to defend against enemies that flank the ship.
