"Brothers in arms in the Star Empire, may it be eternaly blessed, I give to you today what you have called on for a long time, what our space navy needs in its darkest hours, the one thing that will break our lack of capital ships. I give to you a battleship more powerful than any so seen within our nation, past or present, the Indefatigable class Ultra Heavy Battlecarrier.
This ship shall be the ship that restores Imperial pride, the ship that delivers us home to Earth, and the ship in which our Confederate friends shall learn to fear [OOC: this refers to the democratic revolution in my nation in modern times, these people are the descendants of a people that left a hundred or so years after the revolution to restore the monarchy,]. And fear they shall! A mere look at the Indefatigable's size and weapons would cause any opponent to break out in fear!
I announced this to my Space Navy brethren as the construction of this massive vessel goes on, and as our government shifts funding from more useless projects to get this vessel under way in as short a time as possible. With the economy in as a terrible state as it is [OOC: the future form of my nation is rocked by the economic failures of a former ruler] this will create numerous jobs, we plan on having twenty million people in various sectors of the Empire work to prefabricate sections of this vessel, which shall be constructed at an undisclosed location.
Because of the massive scale of this ship, it will take us many, many, years to build it, and many, many years to fledge it out with a crew and modern systems, as it is clear many of us will be dead by the time this warship is completed, within at least sixty years.
Now you may want me to actualy tell you about the ship, under more specific terms than 'massive battlecarrier' or 'pride of the Space Navy' and I shall humor that request. The ship's-yes, there will be only one of these-length shall be 260 kilometers [OOC:if the size of my nation and militaristic leadership are not enough to justify it, as well as the numerous people working on it, then this shall be scaled down, to prevent any automatic 'OMG ignores lolz1!!!111!!!' responses]. And of course, it will be bristling with weapons galore.
OOC:
For a nice, fun, look at what this was based off of, look at this:

You all got lucky, I decided not to include any mobile Death Star features that the fan fic site that is from seam to suggest that drawing is capable of. It's simply a massive, slow moving, target with lots of nice armor and guns. Feel free to criticise the size of it.
