Procyons: Sol'Karis class Battlecruiser


The Sol'Karis Class Battlecruiser is the mainstay of the Procyon Navy, typically severing as Flagship of the Commanding Admiral of any particular Fleet. In accordance to Procyon design philosophy, ships are design to maximize forward firepower. Typically this is done in a vertical hull pattern, but the Sol'Karis is designed instead with a wide horizontal flying-wing-style pattern.

Procyon ships function largely as raiders, ambushers, and fast assault units, thus while the armor of these vessels are capable of shrugging off all but really large shells, it is still considered relatively light for a vessel of its class. To counteract this deficiency, the Procyons employ a trademark system used commonly on their fleet vessels; Cloaking Fields. The Sol'Karis is the largest vessel to date with cloaking abilities.

Weapon systems of the Procyons are typically medium range Particle Projector Cannons, to which the Sol'Karis has 15 Heavy variants of it mounted in 12 Dual turrets and 1 triple turret. These weapons are essentially deadly projectiles charged in high energy that punctures armors and disrupts subsystems. A smaller fast tracking variant is mounted under the "chin" of the forward hull. Lastly, as with most larger ships of a Fleet, the Sol'Karis has one large bay of Siege-capable torpedoes for heavy bombardment.

Further note: Procyon ships are typically said to be "Black" ships, though they are actually dark gray with yellow linings. Weapon tips are usually colored red. Reference as below:-

Well, thats the first ship entry for the day. More will come hopefully.
