The Hammerian Protectorate is an alliance devoted to peace among it's member nations, as well as financial aid, trade, and in the most dire circumstances, war. For the common united defense of the home of the Hammerian Protectorate, a new vessel, using the latest Foe Hammer technology.

The Omaha-class Battleship features many weapons installed on other vessels of the Foe Hammer Armada. The vessel is equipped with only two Magnetic Accelerator Cannons, 1/4th of the MAC Armament on a standard Destroyer. However, the two MACs are the most powerful weapons ever produced by Foe Hammer. Perhaps the most noticable feature is it's striking resemblance to the Halsey-class Destroyer.

This will not only cut costs, but will also enable the vessel to dock in a Capitol Ship or Station with little to no modification of the docking berths.

Interested in joining the Protectorate? Telegram Foe Hammer and request to join. A vote will then be taken among the Congress of Equality. a 2/3rds majority is required for your nation to be accepted. It may be a lengthy process, involving background checks, but trust me, the billions of dollars worth of vessels and technology makes up for it.

I think I shall purchase one.

Celack, you do not need to purchase them, as our Alliance fund (10% of GDP devoted to the Alliance) is close to $6.8 trillion, and four of these vessels will be given to each council member nation. Then, as soon as we save up enough money (We have over $50 trillion in unspent military funds) for the entire alliance to own at least a few of these vessels, they will be distributed in numbers based on nation size (Big nations get more, little nations get a few less).

*Slips Klonor a few Omaha-class Battleships*
We'll send four, which are still property of the Protectorate. Now you don't do anything naughty with them, Y'hear, boy?

Ooooo... Another vessel by Foe Hammer! Indeed, this will be fun to disect.

Weapons: 12 150mm Defense Autocannons, Two Class-IV Magnetic Accelerator Cannons, 20 Point-Defense .50 Caliber Autocannons, 32 Archer Missile Launchers (12-tube Configuration), Six Dorsal 100mm Defense Autocannons, Two 300mm Bow Cannons

So you are basically leaving your ventral-backside open to attack? The turning arc on this ship must be fun at 1.6 KM.Let me guess, the thing is also powered by Plasma Power Generators too?

It may be a lengthy process, involving background checks, but trust me, the billions of dollars worth of vessels and technology makes up for it.

But trust me, when a simple-minded fellow like me can rend through your so called science-babble about space-folding-whatchyamakallits, it is worthless. Oh! And you gotta dedicate 10% of your GDP. Most nations only put in about 2-3% of their GDP towards the military.

Sounds like a scam to me, but then again, who is counting all the dollars in the end. :roll:

I must respectfully request that you STOP FOLLOWING ME AROUND, and QUIT COMPLAINING ABOUT MY DESIGNS.

I have close to 18% of my GDP invested in the Military.

And is it powered by Fusion Reactors.

MY GDP IS CLOSE TO $60 TRILLION. I am an APRIL 2003 NATION.

Now please, LEAVE ME THE F*CK ALONE!
