Titan (BI-15) class dreadnought

TITAN (BI-15) CLASS DREADNOUGHT

FORMER THIRD IMPERIUM


Back to the Starships and Spacecraft contents

The Titan class type dreadnought was designed to fill the requirements of specification BI-15. The Titan was one of the largest warships ever built for the third imperium. It was also one of the most unpopular. Hot bunking was the norm and fuel endurance was limited. An analysis of the Titan shows that the design was heavily influenced by Solomani thinking. Its armament was good, the main weapon being a 250,000Mj Spinal Meson Gun and the armour was reasonable. Competently handled a Titan is a potent warship.
