PIC: http://www.artemisgames.com/robotech/images/sdf-1a.jpg
-Dimensions-
Length: 1570m over all
Height: 372m
Width : over all 524m
Mass : 18,500,000 metric tons, operational (typical)
Fuel Mass : 2,350,000 metric tons, maximum (typical)
-Ship's Complement-
Ships' crew (6,000 men),
Mech pilots/techs (1,500 men),
Troops and additional personnel (12,500 men)
-Propulsion Systems-
Main power system: RRG Mk.1 protoculture-fueled Reflex furnace cluster. The powerplant of a Patton-class vessel can nominally deliver up to 43.2 Petawatts of power, and can operate for seventy-five minutes at maximum power before overheat initiates auto-shutdown.
Maneuvering Thrusters (14) : Fusion-Plasma Reaction Thrusters clusters with steerable nozzles. Three are located on each side of the ship, two are located on the ventral leg, two on the dorsal leg, two on the dorsal cannon booms and two on the ventral cannon booms.
Reaction-mass Thrusters (6) : RRG HPC-2 Fusion-Plasma Reaction Thrusters with protoculture energizer mounted in a vertical row of three in each aft leg.
Secondary thrusters (24) :
8 RRG VFR-2 Fusion-Plasma Reaction Thrusters with protoculture energizer mounted in two clusters of four underneath the 'shoulders'.
9 RRG VFR-3 Fusion-Plasma Reaction Thrusters with protoculture energizer mounted on the ventral central body in a cluster of 3x3 engines, forward of the VFR-2 thrusters.
7 RRG VFR-4 Fusion-Plasma Reaction Thrusters with protoculture energizer mounted on the ventral central body, in a cluster of two side rows of two and one central row of three aft of the VFR-2 thrusters.
Anti-gravity System: 15 RRG Olympic anti-gravity pods.
Space Fold (1) : RRG YS-2 spacefold. This system normally generates a hull-conformal fold, but is capable of spherical folds.
Planetary Capabilities: The Patton-class has atmospheric capabilities through its reaction thrusters and anti-gravity system. The hull has sufficient structural strength for the ship to make a cold landing on it. Note that the ground underneath should be as firm as possible. The ship will float in an ocean, and this is the preferred landing in the absence of landing infrastructure.
-Weapon Systems-
Mk.1 Reflex cannon (Makral Ever 248) (1) : This weapon forms the forward part of the ship. The two forward booms slide and rotate to the side, and a particle beam generation then takes place between the two booms. This weapon is the most modern, smallest and most powerful of the larger Reflex cannon.
The effects of this weapon against planets are equal to the heat and blast effects of the detonation of a fusion weapon of 265 megatons, if fired at full power.
If utilized against starships, the largest vessels can be destroyed by the leakage of the beam. A direct hit will vaporize the target vessel. The weapon can also be set to a wider dispersal. While not nearly as effective as a tight beam against warships, it is capable of clearing a wide area of fighters and other mecha.
Mk.1 particle cannon (Makral Deim 773) (8) : As the Reflex cannon cannot be fired fast enough to be effective against multiple heavy opponents, the main anti-ship weapons are 8 heavy particle cannons. They are built as a large turret with two barrels projecting from the front, but as with the Reflex cannon the beam is generated between the barrels. Eight of these weapons are mounted on the ship: one on the side and on the dorsal of each cannon boom, one on the dorsal of each leg, and one on the forward dorsal and ventral side of the main hull. The power supply to these cannons is a new design, and incorporates an accumulation system that can store sufficient power for 8 full power salvos. The accumulators can replenish at effectively six full power salvos per minute. The beam has an effective range of 300,000 km and a full power discharge of 2.5 terajoules, equivalent to 500 tons of TNT.
Mk.2 plasma cannon (Makral Deim 869) (1) : This weapon is a three barreled plasma beam weapon with half the yield of the larger particle beams, but no less than three times the rate-of-fire.
The Mk.2 particle cannon has an effective range of 300,000 km, a full power discharge of 1.25 terajoules and, while using an accumulation system in its power supply like the Mk.1 cannons, can recharge for 12 full power salvo's per minute due to improvements in beam generation and accumulator efficiency.
The available ammunition consists of KCP Kinetic Core Penetrating (hull penetration rounds), KPI Kinetic Penetrating Incendiary (plasma incendiary rounds) and MKEP Multiple Kinetic Energy Penetrator (flechette cluster rounds), the latter as anti-mecha formation weapons.
This cannon is intended to be used as a possible complement to the heavy beam weapons, and the designers turned it into an area-defense weapon against mecha as well, though it is not as effective as a main gun salvo set on wide dispersal. In addition, this accurate weapon can also be used in pin-point attacks against ground targets, though only with KCP rounds as the KPI and MKEP rounds burn up on atmospheric re-entry.
Mk.3 particle cannon (Makral Mossil 996-3) (16) : Turrets with effectively three standard particle beam cannons each. Two are on each of the ventral hips, one on each of the dorsal legs, dorsal and ventral center body and the upper dorsal shoulders, four are mounted on the shoulders proper and two are mounted forward of the side-mounted large particle beams on the cannon booms. Each barrel can fire 3,000 MJ of particle energy every 5 seconds, or less powerful discharges at a higher rate of fire. The effective range is 300,000 km. This is an improvement on the standard particle turret system, which suffered from no armor protection, as well as from unwanted hit dispersal on a target. The new design features essentially three of the older cannons into one, heavily armored turret. This increases resilience and decreased hit dispersal greatly.
Mk.1 Ballistic missile launcher (12) : The Mk.1 Ballistic missile launcher, fires the Trident F4 rocket.
he F4 is a multi warhead design, carrying 5 warheads of 300 kT yield, and a guidance system suited only for anti-ship engagements.
Mk.88 Defense missile launcher (48) : A retractable 'pepperbox' launcher based on the naval MLB-10 system, but refitted for vacuum launches. The launcher is mainly for defensive purposes.
Each launcher has 10 missiles in the launch box and another 110 rounds in the magazine, for a total of no fewer than 5,760 missiles carried. The most common missile is the Hughes Warhawk missile, complemented by the General Dynamics/Euromissile/BAe Spacehawk. Both missiles are procured with conventional as well as nuclear warheads.
RRG-SP missile launcher (1) : A sextuple missile launch box for the same missiles as the Mk.88 fires. This is a field invention and refit using the turret of the destroyed Mk.2 particle cannon turret, each vertical pair of launch boxes firing though one of the gun ports. The turret is retrofitted to store 120 Spacehawk missiles.
-Electronics Systems-
XS-1 Barrier Defense System: An advanced forcefield system which covers the full four pi steradians around the ship with a yellow-greenish forcefield (or if desired, only part of the ship). This field will stop all solids and directed energy weapons. However, excess energy which cannot be shunted from the field into the monopolar heatsinks will be stored in the virtual structure of the field itself. The storage wattage is high but not infinite, and when the barrier overloads the field will discharge the stored energetic particles. This discharge will have the force of a high-yield (>45 MT) fusion bomb. However, as the discharged energetic particles' vectors will be away from the field and its generating vessel, the vessel will survive, though it will suffer severe damage to its electronics and power systems, and will not be battleworthy until repairs are made.

Tristar class capitol ship
PIC: http://www.artemisgames.com/robotech/images/Tristar_s21.jpg
Ship's complement:
Tristar class
Ships' crew (1600 men),
Mecha Pilots/Techs (1400 men),
Dimensions:
Length: 1024.6 m (Tristar)
Height: 420.1 m
Width: 405.6 m (72.6 m over main body)
Mass : 10,240,820 metric tons, operational (Tristar typical)
Fuel Mass: 956,300 metric tons, maximum (typical).
-Propulsion Systems-
Main power system: RRG Mk.12 protoculture-fueled Reflex furnace. The powerplant of the Tristar-class vessel can deliver up to 526 Terawatts of power, and can operate for sixty-seven minutes at maximum power before overheat initiates autoshutdown.
Maneuvering thrusters (24): Fusion-plasma reaction thruster clusters with steerable nozzles. Four are located in the bottom, four each on the sides of the nose, four on each sponson and four on top of the vessel.
Reaction-mass thrusters (4): Westinghouse RT-82 fusion-plasma reaction thrusters with protoculture energizer mounted in a diamond configuration in the rear of the main hull.
Emergency thrusters (4): SNECMA BCET-6T fusion-plasma reaction thrusters with protoculture energizer paired in a vertical arrangement outside of the side main reaction thrusters.
Anti-gravity system (1): Three RRG Titan anti-gravity pods.
Space Fold RRG Mk.3 spacefold. This system generates a fold-bubble (of limited dimensions) rather than a conformal fold.
Planetary capabilities: The Tristar-class has atmospheric capabilities through its reaction thrusters and anti-gravity system. The hull has sufficient structural strength for the ship to make a cold landing on it. Note that the ground underneath should be as firm as possible. The ship will float in an ocean, but many of the ingress and excess hatches will be blocked by the ocean, greatly hampering access to the ship.
-Weapon Systems-
Oto-Melara RT-60 double barreled rail gun (2): This weapon is a close range, heavy but slow firing weapon. It can fire a 1.69 kg heavy projectile at speeds of around 60 kps and at a rate of 12 rounds per minute. Each round will impact relatively stationary targets with a kinetic energy of 3040MJ. However, due to the nature of the weapon, its effective range is less than 400 km. Two types of projectile are available: The Kinetic Core Penetrating (KCP) round which will impact and penetrate until its energy is spent and the Kinetic Penetrating Incendiary round, which vaporizes into a directed plasma jet after breaching the outer armor of a target. The RT-60 turrets are mounted directly in front of the command tower, one behind the particle beam cannons, the other directly in front of them.
PB-45 particle beam system (1): This twin cannon, with an effective range of 300,000 km, is designed to suppress other large spacecraft. It can deliver 4500 MJ per salvo, each barrel firing once every three seconds in a high intensity pulse or in a long duration beam. This cannon is mounted forward of the PB-25 mounts on the upper hull.
PB-25 particle beam system (2): A faster firing, but less powerful weapon than the PB-45, this cannon has the same effective range of 300,000 km. Each salvo can deliver 2500 MJ, and the mount can recharge every two seconds.Two mounts are installed abeam from each other between the PB-45 system, and the RT-60 turret and bridge tower.
RRG LT-15 Double Laser Turret (6): Installed in a low lying turret, this double barreled weapon has an effective range of 300,000 km, and delivers 1500 MJ of laser energy every two seconds at the highest rate of fire. Two turrets are mounted abeam of the command tower. Two more are mounted on each side of the main hull forward and lower than the centerline of the sponsons, and the last two are mounted on the dorsal main hull.
RRG PB-4 particle turret (10): A fast firing medium caliber particle beam cannon in a low lying round turret. The cannon can fire 400 MJ per second of particle energy as short duration beams or as enclosed particle packets ('disks') with an effective range of 300,000 km. This cannon is not quite capable enough to be effective against larger ships than Re-entry pods, Assault Carriers or Shell-dor carriers. Six mounts are located near the forward terminus of the sponsons; one dorsal, one ventral and one to the side on each beam. The other four are mounted one to each main engine.
RRG RG-2 Point Defense turret (4): The RG-2 mount is designed to deliver heavy firepower on very close targets. A double barreled rail gun with a round sensor between the barrels, the RG-2 is stored inside the hull, but elevates upwards from under movable panels into firing position. The RG-2 fires 0.227 kg KPI rounds at 25 kps, giving the rounds a kinetic impact energy of 71 MJ. Maximum effective range for this system is 20 km against mecha sized targets, maximum rate of fire is 120 rounds per minute.
Four of these cannons are mounted in the hull, near the curvature of the side sponsons.
Oerlikon PD-2 Point Defense turret (4): The PD-2 is a double barreled laser cannon, with an on-mount multi-spectral sensor.

SRS-2 Skylord launchers (2): A ramp type launch system for Skylord ship-to-ship rockets. The SLBM-sized Skylord is a rocket with a special 3 MT nuclear fusion warhead that accelerates at 10 g throughout its flight and has a delta-v of 8 kps. A conventional warhead can also be mounted. The two double ramps are located in the forward dorsal hull.
SRS-3 Skylord launchers (2): A system almost identical to the SRS-2 described above, save that there are three ramps rather than two.
The triple launchers are located in the side sponsons.
XS-1 Barrier Defense System: An advanced forcefield system which will stop all solids and directed energy weapons. However, excess energy which cannot be shunted from the field into the monopolar heatsinks will be stored in the virtual structure of the field itself. The storage wattage is high but not infinite, and when the barrier overloads the field will discharge the stored energetic particles. This discharge will have the force of a high-yield (>45 MT) fusion bomb. However, as the discharged energetic particles' vectors will be away from the field and its generating vessel, the vessel will survive, though it will suffer severe damage to its electronics and power systems, and will not be battleworthy until repairs are made.

Fuel Mass : 1,500,000 metric tons, maximum (typical)
-Propulsion systems-
Main power system: RRG mk9 protoculture-fueled Reflex furnace cluster. The powerplant of the Valivarre-class vessel can deliver up to 30.8 Petawatts of power, and can operate for ninety-four minutes at maximum power before overheat initiates autoshutdown.

Space Fold (1): RRG Mk3b spacefold, later upgraded to a Mk3h spacefold.
Planetary Capabilities: The Valivarre-class has atmospheric capabilities through its reaction thrusters and anti-gravity system. The ships' lower body has sufficient strength to let the ship land on it, although the landing ground should be as firm as possible (granite is recommended). The ship would float in an ocean, and this is the preferred method of landing.
-Weapon systems-
RRG Reflex Cannon Mk.4 (1): The front section of the Valivarre is formed by the booms of the main battery. In order to fire, the cannons open vertically, the beam being generated between the two booms. The effects of this weapon against planets equals the heat and blast effects of the detonation of fusion weapons of 50 MT, if fired at full power. If utilized against starships, the largest vessels can be destroyed with the leakage of the beam. A direct hit will vaporize the target vessel. The weapon can also be set to a wider dispersal. In this setting, it is capable of clearing a wide area of fighters and other mecha, although starships in this area will only be blinded. The cannon has an effective range of 300,000 km. The capacitors for the cannon can be recharged to full power in 55 to 60 seconds.
Krupp MBPC-2 heavy particle beam (5): A heavy weapon firing 2.5 TJ of particle energy per shot, equivalent to approximately 500 tons of TNT, out to an effective range of 300,000 km. Capacitors can charge and fire each weapon six times per minute at maximum capacity.
One of these cannons is mounted in a 'chin' mount behind conformal covers in the lower bow halve, one in the dorsal cannon boom, two in the 'elbow' links to the outriggers, and one is located on the forward ventral, in front of the bridge. Unlike the cannons mounted on the Seron Thoun, these large particle beams resembled the more advanced weapons of the Macross-class in design and firepower.
RRG LT-15 Double Laser Turret (20): Installed in a low lying turret, this double barreled weapon has an effective range of 300,000 km, and delivers 1,500 MJ of laser energy every two seconds at the highest rate of fire.

PL-2a Point Defense turrets (12): Mounted behind movable panels in the upper main hull (8) and the side bodies (4), these standard REF weapons can fire 56 MJ of particle energy four times per second.
VLR-1 Skylord rocket launch tubes (8): Mounted to fire a rocket horizontally away from the cannon boom. These launchers fire the SLBM sized Skylord, a rocket with a special 3 MT nuclear fusion warhead that accelerates at 10 g throughout its flight and has a delta-v of 8 kps. A conventional warhead is also available. Each launcher has sixteen rockets in the ready magazine.
Mk. 253 Missile Launchers (8): A launcher with 10 individual launch silos. The silos each contain 6 ready missiles in a rotating mechanism, which can reload while firing. The ready magazines store 400 missiles per launcher. These launchers typically fire Warhawk and Spacehawk missiles. Typical warheads are anti-mecha cluster munitions, nuclear reaction anti-warship and nuclear reaction re-entry capable weapons.
Four launchers are located near the engine, the other four in the bow.
XS-1 Barrier Defense System: An advanced forcefield system which will stop all solids and directed energy weapons. However, excess energy which cannot be shunted from the field into the monopolar heatsinks will be stored in the virtual structure of the field itself. The storage wattage is high but not infinite, and when the barrier overloads the field will discharge the stored energetic particles.

Note that the ground underneath should be as firm as possible. The ship will float in an ocean, but the main access ports in the lower hull will be submerged.
-Weapons Systems-
RRG PB45 particle beam system (1): This twin cannon, with an effective range of 300,000 km, is designed to suppress other large spacecraft. It can deliver 4500 MJ per salvo, each barrel firing once every three seconds in a high intensity pulse or in a long duration beam.
This cannon is mounted forward of the PB25 and bridge tower on the upper hull.
RRG PB25 particle beam system (1): A faster firing, but less powerful weapon than the PB-45 with the same effective range of 300,000 km. Each salvo can deliver 2500 MJ, and the mount can recharge every two seconds.
The mount is installed between the PB-45 mount and the bridge tower.

SMS-10 Spacelord vertical missile launch system (4): An anti-ship missile battery located in the two sponsons. The system consists of two rows with five launch tubes for Spacelord missiles. The launchers in each sponson are fed by a magazine in that sponson, each magazine containing 30 reload missiles each, for a total loadout of 160 missiles.

-Propulsion systems-
Main power system: RRG mk 15 protoculture-fueled Reflex furnace cluster.The powerplant of the Izumo-class vessel can deliver up to 104.8 Petawatts of power, and can operate for ninty-four minutes at maximum power before overheat initiates autoshutdown.
Maneuvering Thrusters (24): Fusion-plasma reaction thruster clusters mounted on the forward dorsal and ventral corners of the central and side bodies, ventral forward and aft corners of the lower body, dorsal and ventral surfaces of the connective sections between central and side bodies (two per side per orientation), two per side of the central body, and two per outer side of the side bodies.
Reaction-mass Thrusters (60): Peregrine Mk8 Fusion-Plasma Reaction Thrusters with protoculture energizer. These engines are mounted in eleven clusters.
Thrusting aft are 38 engines; one cluster of eight engines and two of six in the stern of the central and side bodies, augmented by one cluster of six engines in the upper aft body and one in the lower body, and two triple clusters in the lower side bodies.
Thrusting forward for deceleration are 22 engines; two clusters of six, one in the lower central body and one in the lower body, and two clusters of five in the side bodies.
Due to the large number of primary thrusters, no secondary thrusters are installed into these vessels.
Notes on the engine system: The lower body engine clusters (forward and aft) are too far off-center to be used unless the main aft thruster clusters are also used in an off-centerline burn to retain stability.
The other off-center engines aft (upper central and lower side body clusters) must be used in conjunction with one another or with off-centerline firing main clusters lest the ship destabilizes.
The central upper aft engine cluster fires its exhaust along the control tower stem, which is armored specifically against the abuse. The central lower forward cluster fires against the forward part of the central hull, which is also specially treated against this. However, these thruster clusters must burn at lower temperatures and efficiency regardless to prevent burn damage to the ship.
Anti-gravity System (1): 82 RRG Cyclops anti-gravity pods.
Space Fold (1): RRG (Robotech Research Group) Mk12 spacefold. This system generates a spherical fold bubble and can transport 30 to 40 subluminal ships in its fold radius.
Planetary Capabilities: The Sabre-class has minimal atmospheric capabilities through its reaction thrusters and anti-gravity system. However, maximum speed and maneuverability are extremely low and extreme care must be taken not to overstress the hull structure.
The ships' lower body has insufficient strength to let the ship land on it. Because of this, a 'cold' landing is not possible on open ground without crushing this section. While landed, the battlefortress must operate her antigravs at -99% local g at all times to prevent damage to the lower body. With the lower body detached, a 'cold' landing can be made, given a sufficiently hard underground (such as granite).
As the ship will float, an oceanic landing is the preferred landing method, though the lower body will be inaccessible save through the central section of the ship.
The lower body is detachable and capable of supporting its own weight, and this is the preferred method to land troops on a planetary surface.
-Weapon systems-
RRG Reflex Cannon Mk.6 (1): This heaviest of ship-borne weapons has an effective range of 300,000 km; at full power it has the effective yield of a 65 MT fusion weapon, approximately equivalent to the firepower of a fully-powered Zentraedi Monitor. Unlike the Zentraedi Monitor and Flagship, or the battlefortresses and their derivatives, this weapon, based upon the most up-to-date technologies, does not require a split-boom. The weapon is located in an aperture in the central forward body. The actual rate of fire remains classified.
Krupp MBPC-2 Large Particle Cannon(3): A heavy weapon firing 2.5 TJ of particle energy per shot, equivalent to approximately 500 tons of TNT, out to an effective range of 300,000 km. The capacitors can charge and fire six times per minute at maximum capacity.
One is mounted in each of the side bodies and in the lower body. The cannons can fire separately at different targets or fire coaxially (by themselves, or with the main Reflex Cannon) at a single target.
Bofors RL39 Triple Particle Beam Turrets (32). The Izumos carry a fully enclosed version of the heavy RL36 turret also mounted on the Garfish class light cruisers. These excellent weapons deliver 6000 MJ of particle energy per turret per salvo. They are mounted on the upper central hull (8), two groupings of two turrets to either side, and on top of the side bodies (8 each), in a same grouping. Additionaly, an additional 8 turrets are carried under the central hull, in retractable housings arranged in a pattern like the upper gun turrets. The cannons can fire once every three seconds at their maximum discharge rate.
PL-2a Point Defense turrets (18): Mounted behind movable panels in the side bodies (4), lower body (2) and the central body (6 forward and 6 aft), these standard REF weapons can fire 56 MJ of particle energy four times per second. After the Third Robotech War the surviving vessels were refitted with an additional 82 point defense turrets.
Mk.253 MLS missile systems (18): Missile launchers with each 10 individual launch silos. The silos each contain 6 ready missiles in a rotating mechanism, which can be reloaded while firing. The ready magazines store 420 missiles per launcher. These launchers typically fire Warhawk and Spacehawk missiles. Typical warheads are anti-mecha cluster munitions, nuclear reaction anti-warship and nuclear reaction re-entry capable weapons.
Four launchers are located near the aft engines, two others near the bridge, four on each side body, and the remaining four are located forward.
DS-3 Barrier Defense System: An advanced forcefield system which covers the full four pi steradians around the ship with a yellow-greenish forcefield (or if desired, only part of the ship). This field will stop all solids and directed energy weapons. However, excess energy which cannot be shunted from the field will be stored in the main gun capacitators. The storage wattage is high but not infinite, and when the barrier overloads the field will discharge the stored energy particles. This discharge will have the force of a high-yield (>45 MT) fusion bomb. However, as the discharged energetic particles' vectors will be away from the field and its generating vessel, the vessel will survive, though it will suffer severe damage to its internal electronics and power systems, and will not be battle-worthy until repairs are made.

Fuel mass : 1,280,000 metric tons, maximum (typical)
-Propulsion systems-
Main power system: RRG mk 14 protoculture-fueled Reflex furnace. The powerplant of the Montgolfier-class vessel can deliver up to 25.9 Petawatts of power, and can operate for forty-seven minutes at maximum power before overheat initiates autoshutdown.
Maneuvering thrusters (8): Fusion-plasma reaction thruster clusters mounted on the main hull; top, sides and bottom halfway forward and aft.
Reaction thrusters (8): Westinghouse HSP-24 Fusion-Plasma Reaction Thrusters with protoculture energizer. These engines are mounted in the port and starboard engine bays, in two quadruple square banks of four engines each.
Secondary reaction thrusters (4): Sparrowhawk Fusion-Plasma Reaction Thrusters with protoculture energizer. These engines are mounted as a quadruple bank in the central engine bay, directly behind the main hull.
Anti-gravity System (1): 27 RRG Cyclops anti-gravity pods.
Space Fold (1): RRG (Robotech Research Group) Mk3b spacefold. This system generates a spherical fold bubble and can transport 30 to 40 subluminal ships in its fold radius. This system is a Mk3 fold, modified to allow for larger masses but with no larger fold-sphere.
Planetary Capabilities: The Montgolfier-class has atmospheric capabilities through its reaction thrusters and anti-gravity system. The folding drydock under the hull, however, would not survive a re-entry into the atmosphere. The ships' lower body has sufficient strength to let the ship land on it, if the scaffolding were to be removed. The ship would float in an ocean, though it would be best to do this with an unloaded ship rather than with a loaded one. However, because of its mission profile, this class never operates in an atmosphere, in addition to losing its drydock during re-entry.
-Weapons Systems-
Vickers MP-18 particle gun turrets (10): Designed to counter other ships and to provide orbital support fire, these weapons are capable of delivering 3000 MJ of particle energy once every three seconds at the maximum discharge rate out to an effective range of 300,000 km..
Three turrets are mounted on the upper hull, replacing the double and quadruple barreled turrets of the Tokugawa precursor design, three more are on the lower hull, and the last two are located on each flank.
PL-2a Point Defense turrets (12): Mounted behind movable panels in the upper main hull (6) and the lower main hull (6), these standard REF weapons can fire 56 MJ of particle energy four times per second.
Mk.253 MLS missile systems (6): A VLS-type missile launcher with 10 individual launch silos. The silos each contain 6 ready missiles in a rotating mechanism, which can be reloaded while firing. The ready magazines store 200 missiles per launcher. These launchers typically fire Warhawk and Spacehawk missiles. Typical warheads are anti-mecha cluster munitions, nuclear reaction anti-warship and nuclear reaction re-entry capable weapons.
Two launchers are located near the engines and two amidships.
DS-2 Barrier Defense System: An advanced forcefield system which covers the full four pi steradians around the ship with a yellow-greenish forcefield (or if desired, only part of the ship). This field will stop all solids and directed energy weapons. However, excess energy which cannot be shunted from the field will be stored in large inboard capacitators. The storage wattage is high but not infinite, and when the barrier overloads the field will discharge the stored energy particles. This discharge will have the force of a high-yield (>4 MT) fusion bomb. However, as the discharged energetic particles' vectors will be away from the field and its generating vessel, the vessel will survive, though it will suffer severe damage to its internal electronics and power systems, and will not be battleworthy until repairs are made. This barrier system also boasts the ability to form around the ship loaded in the Montgolfier's docking arms.

Ship's Complement:
Ships' crew (1,805 men)
Length : 510 meters (over all).
Height : 298 meters (over all).
Width : 200 meters (over all).
Mass : 1,220,000 metric tons (operational).
Cargo : 390,000 metric tons (maximum).
Fuel Mass: 325,000 metric tons (typical).
-Propulsion systems-
Main power system: RRG mk 14 protoculture-fueled Reflex furnace. The powerplant of the Montgolfier-class vessel can deliver up to 25.9 Petawatts of power, and can operate for forty-seven minutes at maximum power before overheat initiates autoshutdown.
Maneuvering thrusters (8): Fusion-plasma reaction thruster clusters mounted on the main hull; top, sides and bottom halfway forward and aft.
Reaction thrusters (8): Westinghouse HSP-24 Fusion-Plasma Reaction Thrusters with protoculture energizer. These engines are mounted in the port and starboard engine bays, in two quadruple square banks of four engines each.
Secondary reaction thrusters (4): Sparrowhawk Fusion-Plasma Reaction Thrusters with protoculture energizer. These engines are mounted as a quadruple bank in the central engine bay, directly behind the main hull.
Anti-gravity System (1): 27 RRG Cyclops anti-gravity pods.
Space Fold (1): RRG (Robotech Research Group) Mk3b spacefold. This system generates a spherical fold bubble and can transport 30 to 40 subluminal ships in its fold radius. This system is a Mk3 fold, modified to allow for larger masses but with no larger fold-sphere.
Planetary Capabilities: The Crucible-class has atmospheric capabilities through its reaction thrusters and anti-gravity system. The ships' lower body has sufficient strength to let the ship land on it, if the scaffolding were to be removed. The ship would float in an ocean, though it would be best to do this with an unloaded ship rather than with a loaded one.
-Weapons Systems-
Vickers MP-18 particle gun turrets (10): These weapons are capable of delivering 3000 MJ of particle energy once every three seconds at the maximum discharge rate out to an effective range of 300,000 km..
Three turrets are mounted on the upper hull, three more are on the lower hull, and the last two are located on each flank.
PL-2a Point Defense turrets (12): Mounted behind movable panels in the upper main hull (6) and the lower main hull (6), these standard REF weapons can fire 56 MJ of particle energy four times per second.
Mk.253 MLS missile systems (6): A VLS-type missile launcher with 10 individual launch silos. The silos each contain 6 ready missiles in a rotating mechanism, which can be reloaded while firing. The ready magazines store 200 missiles per launcher. These launchers typically fire Warhawk and Spacehawk missiles. Typical warheads are anti-mecha cluster munitions, nuclear reaction anti-warship and nuclear reaction re-entry capable weapons.
Two launchers are located near the engines and two amidships.
DS-2 Barrier Defense System: An advanced forcefield system which covers the full four pi steradians around the ship with a yellow-greenish forcefield (or if desired, only part of the ship). This field will stop all solids and directed energy weapons. However, excess energy which cannot be shunted from the field will be stored in large inboard capacitators. The storage wattage is high but not infinite, and when the barrier overloads the field will discharge the stored energy particles. This discharge will have the force of a high-yield (>4 MT) fusion bomb. However, as the discharged energetic particles' vectors will be away from the field and its generating vessel, the vessel will survive, though it will suffer severe damage to its internal electronics and power systems, and will not be battleworthy until repairs are made.

megas you need wmd i have a wmd called the ig virrus

where did you get those mech pics and can you help me with how to make descripts for weapons and the like

Sorry The machine warriors, I'm currently in a war and cannot divulge any information on my military forces, lest it fall in to enemy hands.

OoC: I think he wants OoC information, not something he can IC but something to just help him on his way.

Not giving out the information out OoC to anyone else usualy means you don't even have it yourself...

Intresting..

I have the stuff, I help him out after a while, but right now I'm just really busy.

ok fair'is'nuff
