Description
Designed by the Duchy of Liao and launched as the first warship built by the newly formed Capellan Confederation, the Du Shi Wang was intended to anchor the massive armed merchant fleets the Confederation possessed. As such, the ship is normally escorted by a large number of support vessels to cover its design weaknesses and augment its strengths. Standard tactics is simply to point the battleship at the biggest target and pummel it till destruction. A large amount of armor is placed on the front of the vessel to aid the completion of this goal. Support vessels will handle the fighters and any small warships fast enough to maneuver from the God of Burning Suffocation.
The ship suffered from poor crew arrangements that emphasized a class system instead of efficiency. Officers and passengers were given priority over vital ship features like life boats and the gravity deck. This poor design feature contributed to the destruction of many vessels during the Age of War.
The Du Shi Wang is notable for being the first to use orbital bombardment on Novaya Zemlya in 2399. Only one vessel of this class exists today; it can be found mothballed at Strana Mechty after being nearly destroyed by Clan Smoke Jaguar during the Annihilation of Clan Mongoose.
Armament
Designed as a full frontal assault vessel due to lack of funds, 4 Heavy NPPC are placed in the nose. Secondary weapons consists of 20 NL45 where 6 are placed in the FL/FR, 8 in the LBS/RBS and 6 in the AL/AR sections. 2 Medium NPPC cover the Aft.
