PHR Pompeius Battlecruiser

undefined

The Pompeius is a battlecruiser designed and operated by the Post-Human Republic. First revealed to the galaxy at large during the third month of the battle for Earth, the Pompeius debuted a new wave of PHR battlecruisers designed with a unique vertical superstructure. The vessel has even less of a crew requirement than the Agamemnon-class battlecruisers, barely outstripping that of a UCM frigate, while packing significantly more firepower.

Though the superstructure is unique enough amongst PHR vessels, so too is the Pompeius's weapon configuration. The battlecruiser eschews the broadside batteries common to the Republic's warships in favor of four forward-mounted mass drivers, each as long as a frigate. A salvo from the Pompeius is therefore a focused sledgehammer that can be brought to bear against a single target, potentially crippling enemy capital ships when fired at full power.
