<<Transmission>>

Thats right, the name you propose could be used on our very first command ship! (under construction)

Just give us a name that you think would work well with a large, powerful vessel! Will it render images of grace and solitude in the minds of those who hear it? Or will it spark fear and terror upon the masses at the mere thought of its title? It's all up to you! Send your entries directly to Eurydian High Command. Thank you for your time.

Class: Terminus
Type: Command Dreadnought
Length: 17.6 kilometers
Crew: 8,500
Fighters: 700 Republic Class, 200 AMP’s
Power: 2 Quantum Singularity Reactors, M/AM reactors
Weapons: 126 Gravitic Neutron Cannons, 126 Gravitic Fusion Cannons, 180 EM Neutron Guns, 180 EM Fusion Guns, 1000 EM Pulse Guns, 1000 Gravitic Pulse Guns
Defenses: Standard Eurydian Shielding, Gravimetric Shielding


Basics
The construction of this ship will be the largest undertaking ever by the Conconi Shipyards (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=94247). This ship in and of itself will take an immense amount of resources to build and to maintain. It was the creative vision of Reamus Kastor that gave birth to this behemoth vessel. The blueprints for the ship are of a “Super Star Destroyer.” They were purchased from a classified source. Upon receiving the ship designs it was found to be severely lacking in certain operational areas. It was decided to make extensive modifications to the ship, increasing its capabilities considerably.

The ship will be mainly used as a means with which to expand House Kastor’s vastly growing corporate empire. In addition it will act as a command craft for both the House Navy and the Royal Navy. It may even be considered a mansion of sorts… a very expensive mansion. It is a wonder how this will not break the Kastor House’s bank, but rumor has it the Eurydian Government itself is getting involved with the project. This suspicion is due to the fact that up until this time the Conconi Shipyards had been used solely for Government endeavors.

Tech Used
It will attempt to use the most advanced Eurydian technologies to an extent never seen before on a starship. With 13 Ion engines of immense power, forward thrust will not be a problem. In addition to the ion engines, a gravimetric drive of enormous force will give the ship additional speed and agility not normally seen on warships of such a grand scale. It will hopefully be able to turn on a dime, and perform complex maneuvers, relatively speaking.

In addition to incredible speed, the ship’s weapons will be in excess of 50x the quantity of those seen on our standard Star Dreadnought. The Gravitic cannons are forward firing only, and cannot swivel to meet other threats. There are, however, EM guns that have a full range of motion; they can attack enemies from the side or rear. Since the ship is so immense, it would be quite easy for a fighter to slip through outer defenses unnoticed and attack the ship without fear of retaliation. Therefore, vast quantities of AA and AM cannons have been fitted on the ship. Because of the kind of coordination needed to operate a system of that magnitude, there is a dedicated A.I. program designed to operate the system efficiently. To round out the weapons there is the kinetic ordinance of SF impact missiles. They can be fired in large volleys and can usually reload within a very short timeframe.

The shielding system is advanced as well, incorporating many different technologies. Because the Gravimetric drive is so powerful, it was decided to harness its power for defensive purposes. In addition to that system, normal, yet powerful Eurydian energy shielding will be used.

Everything stated before could not operate were it not for the 2 Quantum Singularity Reactors on the ship. These 2 reactors work in tandem, and provide the ship with all the energy it needs. There are also M/AM reactors that power the ships secondary systems. They can also be shifted to run primary systems should the Singularity reactors fail.

The ships reactor systems use a lot of matter, and the stores of matter on the ship can only be stretched so long. The normal duration period for the ship would be 12 months. After that length of time, it would have to stop and reload its cargo hold of matter. Any kind of matter can be used, from stray asteroids to hull plating. The crew’s bodily waste is also used to help run the reactor. However, there are a few gardens on the ship, so a portion of the waste is diverted for fertilizer. The gardens help the crew to unwind and escape the drabness of a stellar existence.

The concern of foodstuffs must arise at some point. A person may be wondering why the crew is so small for a 17+ kilometer long ship. Well, a lot of the space is dedicated to food supplies. The ship can operate for up to 2 years without re-supplying.

Other
It can be noted that the bridge is not located where it should be. While it is true that a lot of the command personnel are located in that area, the true purpose of the protrusion is communication and sensors. Since the ship is so large, it required that the sensor and comms. array be located away from the central part of the ship. This allows it to bypass all the disturbance and distortion caused by the ships internal workings. There are secondary sensors, but they are located within the ship, and are therefore less accurate. The bridge itself is situated at the center of the vessel, well protected from enemy fire.

The construction is expected to take 10 years (1 ½ RL months) to complete.

I've always liked Fiat Lux myself. 'Tis Latin for (roughly) "Let there be light".

You could always name it after a god from one pantheon or another; Hindu gives you Shiva, Rama, Vishnu, Kali, and on and on and on, Sumerian gives you Nergal and Eriskegal, Babylonian gives you Ishtar and Marduk, Carthaginian gives you Astarte, Roman gives you Hecate, Greek gives you Thanatos, Hypnos and Morpheus (death, dreams and sleep respectively), Celtic gives you Balor, Nuada and Co., Teutonic gives you Thor, Odin, Loki, Fenris, Surtur, and all the others, Aztec gives you Quetzalcoatl, Huitzilopochtli, and more I can't pronounce, Christian gives you Lucifer, Abaddon, and huge hosts of other angels both fallen and not, Zoroastrian gives you Ahriman (the Zoroastrian devil-figure), Mithra (god (technically a kind of angel) of strength and Lord of Light), and other Amesa Spentas and Yatazas of varying kinds (I like Khshathra Vairya). If you've got elves, then you get Eru, Manwë, Varda, Melkor (although naming a capital ship after the Dark Foe might get the elven nations annoyed at you) and the others.

You could also take your ship-names from the titles of songs; Lucy in the sky with diamonds gives you "Diamonds in the Sky" or "Skydiamond", for example.

Of course, not all songs are suitable; I Want To Ride My Bicycle would make an odd name for a ship. :)
