Coming to an Occupied System Near You: Monitors
With the annexation of the Exante system following the Coredian War, Skeelzanian commanders realized they needed some sort of ship to maintain order in the new systems and border colonies. Traditionally the Skeelzanian Navy has been a hard-hidding fleet of Capital Ships, but they cannot be everywhere at once.
Shortly after the Annexation, plans were drawn up for a large gunship that was relatively simple in design and construction. Dubbed "monitors," these ships will act as semi-mobile weapon platforms will act as a deterrant not only to raiders but planetary insurrectionists. Six tri-gun plasma turrets serve as the main armament, backed up by numerous missile banks. A heavy PD system deters bombing runs, and later designs may feature a launch bay.
Class Name: Anvil
Role: System Defense Monitor
Length: 400 meters
Beam: 100 meters
Draft: 150 meters
Powerplant: 1 Fusion Reactor
Engines: 2 Fusion Drives
Armament: Heavy Tri-gun Plasma Turrets x6; Missile Launchers x48; CL500s x16
Armor: 8 meters of Composite
Crew: 600
Marines: 40
Fighter Capaicty: N/A
Shields: Yes
Hyperdrive: Yes

Cool. Thanks Skeelz!
As is, nice ship too. Even if it isn't "pretty" you still did a good job on those turrets.
