Larger capital ships would once more become the mainstays of the Republic military and its individual private sector fleets, as well with dominions and kingdoms located beyond the borders of the Republic. By 7500s BBY, new breakthroughs in armor, shields, hyperdrives, and power generation ushered in a golden age of warship production. Īfter the Waymancy Storm of 7811 BBY, the Republic slowly incorporated new technologies like the squintpipe process, which led to greatly improved turbolasers. They were also effectively used as terror weapons during the Tenth Alsakan Conflict. These battleships were used to intimidate or destroy hostile civilizations, as the Republic aggressively expanded outward into the Galaxy. This trend culminated with the Cal-class battleship, which was popular with several governments, most notably the Galactic Republic. One of the known battleship classes introduced around the year 10,000 BBY, were vessels created in imitation of the long-running planet buster Kumauri Battleship line. The prevalence and effectiveness of these larger capital ships varied depending on the technology and the prevailing strategies of the day. Throughout the course of the Alsakan Conflicts, squadrons of great and massive battleships were described to be the guardians of the Core worlds. Some of the earliest Old Republic era battleships and battlecruisers belonged to the planetary or sector naval forces of such worlds as Coruscant, Alsakan, Corellia, and their respective allies within the Core.

With so much coast to cover and such a large fleet the creation of the Sabre Class Command Cruiser enabled high ranking Naval officers to command Battlefleets from more numerous, smaller ships. Several modifications have been made to the Albion Hull design over the years such as the intimidating Lancelot Heavy Cruiser, the fast Picton and the lightly armed Bedivere. Armed with heavy gun turrets, broadside and torpedoes, this ship is the backbone of the Crown Fleet. The most common Cruiser in the fleet is the Albion Cruiser. The fleets still continue to have a presence across the globe and alongside the Britannia Class Battleships numerous Cruisers and Frigates can be found. That control has been slipping for some time now and while her fleets are still numerous the Crown's international dominance is no longer assured. Over the last century Crown engineering technology has been ahead of the rest of the world and their naval superiority has earned them control of the seas. Many of the latest battleships are now catching up with the engines, armour and weaponry equipped by the Britannia but she can still hold her own against any other Battleship on the water. The Britannia Class Battleship was ahead of her time when the first vessel was launched over three decades ago and has been in service ever since. Bristling with armaments and protected by thick steel armour and Guardian Generators these powerful vessels are the pride of the Royal Navy. Rumour of her mere presence in local waters has quelled uprisings and deterred piracy. The Britannia class Heavy Battleship is a testament to the might of the Crown and symbol of power in defence of her Dominions. 85295 Britannia Battlefleet Set 44 44 GBP InStock Home/Wargames & Miniatures/Wargames/Dystopian Wars/ Home/Gift Ideas/ Home/Gift Ideas/Gifts for Wargamers/Dystopian Wars/ Home/Getting Started/Get Started Wargaming/Get Started Dystopian Wars/
