Retribution-Class Battleship
The Retribution-class Battleship is a heavy capital ship of the Imperial Navy. The class is one of the oldest patterns of Imperial battleship still in service, built in the Martian orbital shipyards of the Ring of Iron.
They are notable for mounting an all "big gun" armament, with a dorsal Lance battery. Battleships of this class mount the heavily armored prow and torpedo tubes of a capital ship.
Ships of this class are considered the backbones of the Imperial Navy and often serve as a fleet flagship, however, the lack of an enhanced sensor suite make the Emperor-class Battleship the preferred choice for this mission type.
The Retribution-class is employed in large scale engagements where the sheer weight of firepower spewed from the broadsides makes up for the lack of Lance batteries.
Due to poor maneuverability, however, these battleships require a large number of escorts to deal with fast-moving threats.
