http://www.bateshome.com/jordan/ubership.jpg

Length: 958 meters
Crew: 520 people, 45 droids, and 3 central AI (one for mechanical, one for weaponry, and one for information).
Powerplant: Dual Chlorophusion control chambers
FTL Drives: Capsule Mk II Cascading Hyperspace Fold Drive (also works as Hyperdrive OR fold drive)
Docking Capabilities: 36 Fighters (Or mecha), 12 Shuttles (Or Gunships), 2 Corvettes, and link-up ability with up to 2 Frigates.
Cargo Capacity: Very little.
Weapons: This ship has 2 Farad systems (each about 1/2 the power of the Kryptonite's weapon) that can be used completely independant of each other. Other weapons include 14 forward Mk IV Heavy Rail Cannons (200kg*100 km/s), 128 Turret-Mounted Farad Beam Cannons, 7 Heavy Farad Beam Cannons (Forward firing), 5 Forward Torpedo Tubes, 2 Aft Torpedo Tubes, and some hundred close-defense plasma-bolt cannon turrets.
Defenses: An extremely thick Titanium-Alloy armor, with a LiquidMetal^2 armor coating it, as well as a Xanthal Type VII Shield, and of course, the powerful Farad systems.
Atmosphere Capable: No. Landing Capable: No.
Price: 235 Billion
Note: Due to the nature of it's powerful weapons, it's mass is quite heavy, and thus it's sublight speed is significantly slower than other ships of its class.


Moroni Mk III Heavy Battlecruiser

http://www.bateshome.com/jordan/moroniiii.jpg

Length: 772 meters
Crew: 475 people, 25 droids, and 3 central AI, one for mechanical, one for weaponry, and one for information.
Powerplant: Chlorophusion control chamber
FTL Drives: Capsule Mk II Cascading Hyperspace Fold Drive (also works as Hyperdrive OR fold drive)
Docking Capabilities: 36 Fighters, 12 Shuttlecraft, and 2 Corvettes
Cargo Capacity: 100mx50mx20m
Weapons: 18 forward Mk IV Heavy Rail Cannons (200kg*100 km/s), 6 Forward-Facing Mk II Rail Cannons (100km/s x100kg), 160 Turret-Mounted Farad Beam Cannons, 7 Heavy Farad Beam Cannons (Forward firing), 4 Heavy Turret-Mounted Double-Barrelled Electromagnetic/Energy Cannons*, 3 Forward Torpedo Tubes, 2 Aft Torpedo Tubes, and some hundred close-defense plasma-bolt cannon turrets.
Defenses: A very thick armor, made from triton-mined liquidmetal alloys, and a Xanthal Type VII shield.
Atmosphere Capable: Limited. Landing Capable: No.
Price: 275 Billion
*The Electromagnetic Cannon has several firing modes. It may act as a Rail Cannon, firing 100kg slugs at 25 km/s; or a Flechette Cannon, firing heavy shards of metal in a buckshot style; or as a large Plasma-Pulse cannon, really a secondary firing mode that basically launches a glob of Plasma at the target. The cannon can be easily reconfigured to fire different energies or ammunitions.
Note: Due to the nature of it's powerful weapons, it's mass is quite heavy, but it's Momentum and Speed are compensated by the 'rear wing' Engines.

You never got back to me on doing a 3D image of that picture I sent you. Do you think you can still do it?
