Medium Combat Vessels of the WZ Navy


    These are the common combatants of most of the Weirdo Zone's battles.  Capable of acting independently or leading squadrons, medium combat vessels are the true might of the Navy.

BATTLECRUISERS

Pike-class Heavy Battlecruiser

Length: 700m Shield Power: 2.1T/sec 1 [1.4T] terablazer
4 [5.3G] gigablazers
10 [100.5M] megablazers
75 [573K] heavy blazers
500 medium blazers
75 singuarity torp launchers
150 icosamissile pods
Crew: 4,000 Turn Radius: 70°/sec
Troops:  1 Company Hull Strength: 6m, 1.5T/sec
Fighters:  36 Construction Code:  HBC

   The Pike-class heavy battlecruiser has been a mainstay of Terran fleets since the 2390s.  Updated periodically, Pike-class vessels are tough combatants ready to strike at enemies from near or far.  It is the smallest vessel to mount a terablazer which is limited to firing once every minute.  A company of troops provides sizable resources for marine actions and six squadrons of fighters act as close fire support.

 

Shining Spear-class Fast Attack Battlecruiser

Length: 650m Shield Power: 1.5T/sec 4 [5.3G] gigablazers
10 [100.5M] megablazers
50 [573K] heavy blazers
400 medium blazers
50 singuarity torp launchers
100 icosamissile pods
4 medium cruise missile tubes
Crew: 2,500 Turn Radius: 120°/sec
Troops:  Security detail Hull Strength: 4m, 1.0T/sec
Fighters:  36 Construction Code:  FBC

    The Shining Spear-class is a Volanti design with a quick and deadly fast-strike capability.  Its turning rate rivals that of some medium fighters and its arsenal is a decent mix of weaponry.  Shining Spears are used in flanking and deep reconnaissance missions and usually carries several squadrons of heavy fighters to supplement its anti-capital ship arsenal.

 

Valiant-class Light Battlecruiser

Length: 500m Shield Power: 1.7T/sec 6 [5.3G] gigablazers
6 [100.5M] megablazers
30 [573K] heavy blazers
250 medium blazers
30 singuarity torp launchers
100 icosamissile pods
Crew: 1,350 Turn Radius: 100°/sec
Troops:  1 Company Hull Strength: 5m, 1.3T/sec
Fighters:  12 Construction Code:  LBC

    The Valiant-class light battlecruiser is a powerful battleship-hunter.  It can use its superior sensors suite, superior maneuverability, and superior atmospheric flight capability to hunt and destroy heavy capital ships.   Six gigablazers with one-second refire rates can easily devastate any capital ship shielding.

CRUISERS

Halberd-class Heavy Cruiser

Length:  450m Shield Power: 1.2T/sec 2 [5.3G] gigablazers
3 [100.5M] megablazers
40 [573K] heavy blazers
140 medium blazers
20 singuarity torp launchers
50 icosamissile pods
2 medium cruise missile tubes
Crew: 725 Turn Radius: 90°/sec
Troops:  1 Company Hull Strength: 4m, 1.0T/sec
Fighters:  12 Construction Code:  HCR

    The Halberd-class is a common heavy support cruiser for smaller task forces.  The smallest vessel to carry gigablazer-class armaments, a Halberd is considered more than a match for any battlecruiser or light battleship design manufactured in this Universe and can take on entire fleets anywhere else.  Twelve fighters do reconnaisance duty on this vessel.

 

Axe-class Medium Cruiser

Length: 350m Shield Power: 750M/sec 10 [100.5M] megablazers
20 [573K] heavy blazers
100 medium blazers
16 singuarity torp launchers
32 icosamissile pods
Crew: 600 Turn Radius: 100°/sec
Troops:  4 Platoons Hull Strength: 3m, 750M/sec
Fighters:  6 Construction Code:  MCR

    The Axe-class medium cruiser is the median design around which all other Weirdo Zone vessels pivot.  It is moderate in speed, armor, and weaponry and is probably the best well-rounded medium design.  Computer simulations against entire Star Wars S/TS Star Destroyer-class battleship squadrons have ended up in the favor of the Axe-class, as it can destroy or disable ten to twenty Star Destroyers every ten seconds while taking little to no damage in return.
