PHR Agrippa Battlecruiser

undefined

The Agrippa is a class of battlecruiser belonging to the Post-Human Republic navy. Likely developed shortly after (or concurrently with) the Pompeius, the Agrippa possesses a unique vertically-stacked superstructure design that is at odds with the normal PHR hulls and clustered engine cores in the rear of the ship. Even more interestingly, the Agrippa is primarily not a combat ship - instead, the majority of its tactical value rests with its ability to manipulate the battlefield via holographic drones.

The two horizontal fins present on the ship are capable of launching dozens of these drones, which in turn project clouds of small drones. These work together to create the EM "skin" of a debris field, which interferes with enemy scanning and protects other PHR ships. Should an enemy commander become wise to the ruse however, the holographic drones will detonate themselves against the hull of ships that try to force their way through. Allied ships are, of course, excepted from this unkind reception and may pass through the faux debris fields without issue.

The Agrippa is of special interest to the UCM's Office of Naval Intelligence, who believe that the ship's true purpose is not for combat. Instead, they posit that the Agrippa's primary function is to mask certain operations conducted by the Republic from their allies.
