Olympus shipyards presents three new designs that will become part of the growing fleet of Argheraal:
TIGER HEAVY DESTROYER

With a length of 2.7 km, it is the biggest ship the Argheraal military has built.
Since the advent of problems in the Klonor Empire (to whom most of the current fleet was bought), the Government of Argheraal felt it necessary to develop and build it’s own starships.
The Tiger Heavy Destroyer (members of the military are still arguing if it should be classed as Battleship) armament consists of 4 xenium heavy beam cannons, 6 MetalStorm flak guns, 12 xenium heavy laser batteries, 10 anti-fighter xenium rapid fire gatling lasers, 2 demolisher anti-ship missile launchers (7 missiles/launcher) and 2 gravmine dispensers.
The heavy beam cannons are designs based on Klonor beam cannons using xenium crystal for focusing and enhancing beam projection. According to telemetry on one beam cannon test, it is 2.56 times more powerful than a normal Klonor beam cannon. Scientists indicate this is due to the unique properties of Xenium122 crystals.
Also, this four cannons can be fired in unison, the forward section concentrates the four beams on a point 400 meters infront of the destroyer into a single massively destructive one (the beam lasts for about five seconds), the downside to this mode of firing is that the beams are disabled for 7 minutes, and to shoot again in this mode 15 to 20 minutes are required. 1st generation A.I. is required to control de firing of the beam cannons in this mode.
The Tiger’s armor is a Duralium-Niobium/Xenium crystal lattice compound very resistant to kinetic and energy impacts. From 12% to 22.5% of the energy is difused along the armor.
The Destroyer is powered by a NovaStar III Engine, again based on design ideas taken from Klonor Ministar Engine (and 20% bigger).
The Demolisher Anti-Ship missiles are used against capital ships (can be used against static installations also), with a payload worth of 3500 Mt, these missiles were designed to be fast and somewhat maneuverable.
The gravmine dispenser is a defensive device used to protect the Tiger Destroyer when retreating or to create a gauntlet run against fighters attacking, each mine produces a 40G tidal shock on a 50 mts spherical area. Very useful to mess with fighters, more so with the more delicate pilot. This mines can be remotely detonated by the tactical crew of the destroyer as they can be monitored with the sensors of the Tiger, the mines are armed with IFF trasponders.
20 Corsair fighters serve as anti-fighter protection and forward scouting.
Warp: 7 (emergency warp of 8.7)
JAGUAR CRUISER
http://upl.silentwhisper.net/uplfolders/upload5/Corvette.jpeghttp://upl.silentwhisper.net/uplfolders/upload5/Corvette2.jpeg
The Jaguar Cruiser is fast and maneuverable, 280 mts from bow to stern is designed for defense of battle areas, key installations and escort of larger ships. It sports 7 triple xenium beam gun turrets, 4 single xenium beam gun turrets, 4 rapid fire heavy gatling railguns, and 2 missile launchers.
The Jaguar’s armor is a Duralium-Niobium/Xenium crystal lattice compound very resistant to kinetic and energy impacts.
The Jaguar is powered by a NovaStar I engine and carries 6 Hawk fighters.
Warp: 8 (emergency warp of 9.4)
OCELOT TROOP TRANSPORT
http://upl.silentwhisper.net/uplfolders/upload5/Trooptrns.jpeg
To quickly deploy troops in conflict zones, The designers in Olympus shipyard came with the Ocelot Troop Transport, 200 meters long it can carry and deploy a full company of soldiers using the three armored drop ships it carries under it’s belly, the Ocelot it is lightly armed with only 6 rapid fire heavy gatling railguns as it is not designed for combat.
The Ocelot’s armor is a Duralium-Niobium/Xenium crystal lattice compound very resistant to kinetic and energy impacts.
The Ocelot’s impulse comes from four Kronth-Deraal engines that can pivot up to 20 degrees for quick and sharp maneuvers.
