Romulus Dreadnought

undefined

The Romulus is a class of dreadnought constructed by the Post-Human Republic. As with all dreadnoughts, the Romulus is a staggeringly large warship that dispenses with any semblance of subtlety - it is a sledgehammer deployed when the Republic needs to make a statement, or to counteract the dreadnoughts of other races. The full intellectual might of the PHR has been poured into its creation, resulting in a vessel armed and armored with their latest technological advancements.

Primarily, this is represented by the next-gen energy glaive broadsides mounted on the Romulus. As directed-energy weapons, these are significantly more lethal than mass drivers, and come with the added benefit of a single broadside being overcharge-capable, thus overcoming some of the targeting limitations of a broadside configuration. The prow-mounted hypernova laser may also be overcharged, giving it true ship-melting damage potential. To facilitate these overcharge states, the Romulus is equipped with a fully intermeshed power management system that encompasses virtually all of its weapons, core functions, and drives - a solution that largely prevents the dangers that vent cannon technology poses to its crew.
