Archives for ships and fleets. 'nuff said. Most of the ships here are very very old and will not work in current versions of BSF or SM. You have been warned!
Taken from the headlines of "Eye on the Empire," a popular Iryian newspaper. (OFF TOPIC: Yes, this is a bit of a wankship.)
"DECEPTION! GIANT WARSHIP SIGHTED OFF BORDER WORLD ARCTA PRIME!"
Early yesterday morning, the citizens of Arcta Prime were treated to an unexpected fireworks show. A giant explosion lit up the night sky at three in the morning, waking a sizable portion of the planet and once again raising suspicians about the nearby classified government shipyard. The local militia, after much pressure from local officials, finally agreed to send a small scouting party of two armed fighters to investigate the explosion, hypothesized to be orders of magnitude more powerful than any created by the previous Iryian WMD "Hammer of Ascension" This photo was taken of their departure.
The fighters reportedly met no resistance in their approach to the "secret" shipyard. They were able to make their way unimpeeded to the calculated source of the previous morning's lightshow. What they saw shocked them. It appeared as if, instead of a classified shipyard, this area was in fact a weapons testing facility. It appeared to have been destroyed from within by a beam weapon of some sort. At this point, a radio transmission came in ordering the fighter scouts' removal from the premises on punishment of death. They complied without arguement, but on their way out, they passed something more shocking than the destroyed facility. This photo was taken by private Jason Cylborne, one of the fighter pilots. It is believed to be the source of the explosion, possibly due to, "too much firepower for the testing center to handle." It has been nicknamed "Project Theta" after the Theta Facility which is may have inadvertantly destroyed.
It appears as if the Royal Navy of Iryia is updating its weapons systems, and citizens worry a war is brewing. Others speculate that King William Fontaine took the simulated defeat at the hands of the NEN 17th Combined Regiment a little too seriously. Whatever the reason, Iryia's 150 year reign of peace looks as though it may soon be tested.

Much like the content of your posts. Don't make fucking pointless posts like this, okay? They're stupid, pointless, they get nothing across other than the fact you dislike the ship's appearance, and you don't even have the decency to suggest how to fix it.
In other words, STFU until you have something useful to say.

Ooh, I love it when you flame like that! Gimme a kiss, big boy!
The pictures displayed above generated quite some commotion within the Iryian Empire. Discontent among the general populace was quite apparent. They had been lied to, or at least decieved, and demanded to know more information, especially as it seems the loss of quite a few lives may have been involved. To avoid any further problems, King Fontaine himself addressed his people, saying he would answer all of their questions. The general result of this address can be summed up in three points.
-The explosion at the Theta Facility was, in fact, the result of weapons testing gone awry.
-The weapon in question was a much more refined "Hammer of Ascension," and it almost completely vaporized the facility, luckily the staff had planned for this unlikely possibility and were all onboard the ship in the photograph.
-The ship is a new capital ship for the Iryian Navy, to be named Meridian II. It's hull is far from finished in its current state, but a hypothesized picture was offered as to the ship's final appearence when finished, andis attached below, with a Hail fighter for scale.
PS: It may not be a titan, but by Iryian standards it sure is a hell of a big monitor.
Screenshot caught it at a bad angle, normally looks like a white line. It's a rod that somehow amplifies the Hammer's power through a process I haven't really figured out yet, but it looks kinda cool, so...
Here's a better schematic, showing parenting and stats and whatnot. This shows the rod thingy better. Sorry for the terrible image quality... Damn JPEGs...
