Next Generation SKZ Vessels

[Skeelzania]

With most of my navy destroyed at the end of the civil war, I effectively had a clean slate for rebuilding. Shifting away from the romantic notion of ships forming into lines of battle and blowing the crap out of eachother, the new SKZ naval doctrine focuses more on striking hard and fast. Thanks to built-in redunancy and the inherent sturdiness of Skeelzanian ships, this has been achieved without a significant loss of staying power.

Ahzi Dahaki Heavy Cruiser


Named for the Persian dragon “created to destroy righteousness,� the Ahzi Dahaki of heavy cruisers were designed to fill a gap between the Phobos and Deimos destroyers and the Nidhogg battlecruisers. Of moderate length and size, they pack a much heavier punch than the destroyer classes, though not quite as versatile. Well armed and armored, the Ahzi Dahakis can lay waste to enemy destroyers and cruisers, and their flochip AM drives allow them to outrun most battleships in sub-light.

Yavuz Battlecruiser


With much of the Skeelzanian fleet destroyed at the end of the Civil War, fleet designers were ordered to construct a new class of battlecruiser that better fit in with the new “fast attack� doctrine adopted by the Navy. The end result was the Yavuz class: relatively compact by Skeelzanian standards, the Yavuz exchanged the Nidhogg’s broadsides for several large-caliber turreted weapons. Despite a rather odd turret arrangement, the Yavuz can still bring five guns to bear in any direction except directly astern. Also mounted are two large railguns, situated on each side of the bow. Firing depleted Spootonium slugs, each weighing nearly a ton at .2c, these are primarily world-killer weaponry, though woe to any ship that finds its engines disabled in front of a Yavuz!
