Uranium Dreadnought

undefined

The Uranium is a class of dreadnought constructed and fielded by the Shaltari Tribes. Based off the same hull as the Plutonium, the Uranium possesses similar armaments but places the focus more on close-action warfare. Instead of the Plutonium's distortion cannon, the Uranium is armed with a battery of six pulse ionisers - terrifyingly effective weapons against enemy heavies. It also possesses a microwave array similar to the one found on the Amethyst frigate, but scaled up to increase its potency.

As a result of being armed with significant close-quarters weaponry, the Uranium is the flagship of choice for the most aggressive Shaltari starchiefs - those who are concerned with the honour and satisfaction of watching a foe's demise at close range. Famously, Seti the Kinslayer drove his Uranium, the Spear of Anubis, into the heart of a UCM battlefleet, obliterating twelve cruisers before being destroyed by the UCMF Triumph.
