Jeskuar - Class Airship Battleship
An airship relying on a strong Taidakic Field to float, used by the Hyperion Federation.
It is named after the highly powerful superpower of the Tebburus Unification War.
The Jeskuar - Class is very heavily armoured so that it is almost invicible to any light anti air weapons. Heavy weapons suich as large, powerful railguns or cruise missiles should be used against a battleship.
The battleship has 5 large photon drives. In case one is disabled in combat, it has several others for redundancy and can hopefully retreat.
The battleship primarily serves an artillery role. Most of its main armament is mounted on turrets on the side, allowing them to elevate significantly and chose a high firing arc. Projectiles fired from these 700mm cannons are propelled forwards at very high velocity and use a quark-gluon plasma warhead. This causes very powerful, high energy explosions at very high velocity. It can also use armour piercing ammunition allowing it to penetrate even the stroingest armour, such as a bunker.
It can climb altitude very fast. If it points upwards so that its main drive outputs its force upwards and uses the kaidaton collider on high power, both will cause a strong force that sends the ship upwards. This is known as an emergency climb. This has been used several times to retreat into orbit.It is capable of space travel, however, the crew cannot leave the ship and perform operations on the deck. Additionally, it has no FTL drive, which makes logistics difficult. Planetary Assault Ships have often been used for this purpose.
Propulsion
As it is equipped with many photon thrusters facing many directions, the ship can strafe, yaw, pitch and roll.
It is powered by an antimatter annihilation core. This is well armoured because if it is disabled, the kaidaton particle collider will be disabled. This will cause the ship to stop producing kaidatons and slowly fall under gravity. This method means that it requires no Aetherium to construct however.
