REGAL CLASS BATTLECRUISER

FORMER THIRD IMPERIUM


Back to the Starships and Spacecraft contents

A solitary Regal class battlecruiser, ex Imperic Splendour, is in service with the Alston League, where it serves as the planets highport. The ships drive systems have been gutted, the jump drive components being used in smaller vessels. The ships weaponry has been retained, and the ships tractor bays are functional and are used to assist in docking operations.

The ship itself was built for the third Imperium just before the first Solomani Rim War in which it served with distinction. She was captured by the Solomani during the 2nd Rim War, having been refurbished, recaptured by a force consisting of imperial marines and scout service personnel and finally ending up in the Banners sector after fleeing a virus infected task force, which managed to infect the ship.

Infected by virus the Imperic Star misjumped into the Alston system, but because of the bravery of the scouts and imperial marines, the virus infection on board the battlecruiser had been largely contained. Not completely neutralised the virus still managed to inflict severe damage to Alstons shipyards and orbital facilities and several nuclear missiles hit the planet before the virus was finally stopped.

Notes

Fuel purification equipment (481.875Mw) is sufficient to purifiy 96,375 cubic meters in 6 hours (30 hours for entire load exclusive of power plant fuel) Fuel scoop capacity is 210,000 cubic meters per hour (2.3 hours for entire load exclusive of power plant fuel).

The statistics are for the vessel as built. The version with the Alston League does not have a functional jump drive and is used as an orbital starport.
