CAPITAL SHIPS

Hellscream-class
Heavy Cruiser

Length: 1225 meters
Width: 982 meters
Height: 302 meters

Power: Quantum Singularity drive supplemented by three fusion reactors

Armament: 45 Heavy Phase Disruptor cannons, 2 fore-mounted Polaron Beam emitters, 4 overlapping Plasma Lance defense grids

Compliment: 60 Talon-class fighters, 45 Raider-class bombers

Description:
Named for one of Durotan's lieutennants and he who killed Mannoroth the Defiler, the Hellscream is the epitome of orcish engineering - big, fast, and deadly. These vessels are the single ship that makes up the majority of the Horde fleet, striking fear into the hearts of those who defy the Warchief. A single Hellscream is comparable to an Imperial Star Destroy (Mark II), and most likely could win in a head-to-head battle. Its compliment of Talons and Raiders make sure it doesn't suffer from "Death Star Sydrome", and its quadruple Plasma Lance grids make sure anything the fighters don't get is quickly vaporized. Hellscreams, despite being the most powerful vessel in the fleet to date, are never sent out solo. The smallest number of these cruisers deployable is three.

Grimtotem-class
Destroyer

Length: 639 meters
Width: 568 meters
Height: 204 meters

Power: Quantum Singularity reactor supplemented by a Fusion backup

Armament: 15 Phase Disruptor cannons, fore-mounted Polaron beam emitter, 2 Plasma Lance defense grids

Compliment: 10 Talon-class fighters

Other: Garona (Type III) Stealth Device

Description:
Named for a legendary tribe of warriors in Tauren mythology, the Grimtotem is designed to attack the enemy from behind whilst they are occupied with the main force of Hellscream cruisers. Equipped with third-generation cloaking devices and packing a whallop in firepower, a few Grimtotems can severly damage or even cripple an Imperial Star Destroyer before having to scatter.
Note: Mark VI design of the Grimtotem is being tested. Mark VI forgoes the Garona device in exchange for an additional 10 fighters and heavier shielding.

Vul'jin-class
Assault Frigate

Length: 228 meters
Width: 104 meters
Height: 45 meters

Power: 4 Fusion reactors supplemented by batteries (120 hour life at maximum sublight)

Armament: 4 Phase Disruptor cannons (2 dual-turrets), 2 Plasma Lance grids

Description: Named for the hero of the Darkspear tribe, the leading tribe of trolls on Lodaeron, the Vul'jin is the fastest capital ship in the fleet. Able to outrun whatever it can't outshoot, the Vul'jin is perfect for the hit-and-run attacks favored by the trolls. The Vul'jin is also perfectly suited for line support, basking in the protection of the Hellscream's heavy shields while adding its own phase disruptor fire to the mix.

Graaghoul-class
Carrier/Dropship Transport

Length: 752 meters
Width: 102 meters
Height: 400 meters

Power: Quantum Singularity reactor supplemented by 2 fusion backups

Armament: 6 Phase Disruptor cannons, 1 Heavy Polaron beam emitter, 3 Plasma Lance defense grids

Compliment: 80 Saayu-class dropships, 16,000 Horde marines, 120 Talon-class fighters, 80 Raider-class bombers

Description: Named for one of the folk heroes of mor'ghull lore and reverse-engineered illegally from a purchased carrier, the Graaghoul is the best vessel in the Horde fleet to take a planet. Though sparsely armed, the Graaghoul is heavily armored and equipped with primary through tertiary shields. It is designed to first add its own fire to the main fleet, then break through blockades and deliver its dropships to the planet's surface.
