WarShip

During and before the time of the Star League, there were massive armed and armored JumpShips called WarShips. At the height of the Star League, fleets of thousands of these behemoths roamed the stars, enforcing the League's will. The majority of these ships, and those belonging to the Inner Sphere's Houses, were destroyed during the Amaris Civil War or disappeared along with Aleksandr Kerensky and the Star League Defense Force. Most of the shipyards capable of manufacturing or repairing WarShips were heavily damaged or obliterated. Only in the later part of the 31st century has technology risen to a point where building fleets of new WarShips is even somewhat feasible. Still, only the most industrious of Successor States can construct more than one at a time because of their astronomical costs.
