Description
The Texas-class WarShip was first deployed by the Star League in 2618 and was meant to directly replace the aging Monsoon. The primary requirements set down for the new battleship by the Star League Defense Force Admiralty was an increase in speed and heavy protection, both qualities achieved in Krester's Kimagure-class pursuit cruiser, and the Texas successfully delivered on both fronts. Where Member State vessels of comparable size averaged 1.5gs of thrust the Texas can reach 2.5g thanks to its Rolls Royce Kraken engines. Its massive amount of expensive Valiant Lamellor Ferro-Carbide Armor gives it unrivaled protection, better than that of the larger McKenna. The design carries 40 aerospace fighters, six DropShip collars, some of the heaviest naval weaponry available, and the Texas's Communal XXX computer is as powerful as those often found running planet-wide power and communication grids. With such a blend of speed, durability, and firepower, the Texas is a ship to be reckoned with.[1][5]
Even with advanced Star League automation and technology, the Texas required almost double the time of contemporary and similarly-sized vessels to build.[5] Of the original 52 Texas-class vessels, only seven survived the fighting following the Amaris coup to join the Exodus fleet, [6] and two of those were later destroyed in the destructive Pentagon Civil War.[1]
Probably the most famous of this class is the Prinz Eugen, the lead ship of what became known as the Prinz Eugen Mutiny.[citation needed]
Armament
The Texas is primarily armed with Omicron-45 Naval Lasers and Sunspot-3L Heavy NPPC's, giving it plenty of long-range firepower. Two Winchester-Boeing NAC/40s, one each mounted in the front quarter facing to give the maximum firing arc, can punch holes in just about every vessel of the day, although the Texas has limited ammunition for these massive weapons. Four Killer Whale missile tubes and eight AR-10 tubes, each capable of firing any type of capital missile, provide the Texas with the armor-piercing firepower necessary when facing other cruisers or battleships. While certainly not the heaviest weapons load among Star League vessels, it is quite effective when used in concert with the ship's heavy armor and high maneuverability.[1]
Cargo
- Star League
- Bay 1: 40 AeroSpace fighters (6 doors)
- Bay 2: 301,671 tons Cargo (5 doors)
- Bay 3: 16 Small Craft (2 doors)
- Clan
- Bay 1: 40 AeroSpace fighters (6 doors)
- Bay 2: 286,255 tons Cargo (5 doors)
- Bay 3: 16 Small Craft (2 doors)
Variants
- Clan Upgrade - Although only five ships of the Texas-class survived the ravages of the Amaris coup and the Exodus Civil War, the Clans respected the capabilities of this massive ship and so have maintained it within their fleet. The Clan refit Texas-class ships have been outfitted with a Lithium-Fusion Battery at the expense of a portion of their cargo space.

Notes
- During the Amaris Coup, a Texas Class Battleship was knocked from the orbit of Devin while fighting with the Republic's Navy. The Battleship's wreckage created a large field of craters and a mountain of steel, which later was named "The Boneyard". In August of 3050, it became the battlefield where Clan Jade Falcon defeated Devin's armored tank militia units.[7]
