Technical and Historical Data
Sometime after the events of Fallen December, the Martian Alliance upgrades its fleet firepower with that of a heavy cruiser. Though not much bigger than the Isaribi Class, the Halfbeak class is heavy armored and treated with a laminate coating across the hull to protect against enemy attacks. Everything from the engines to the sensors have been constructed with high quality and efficiency in mind, sporting new sensors developed to detect enemy contacts from much farther away than its smaller counterpart. The Halfbeak Class has also been equipped with a pair of 435mm Beam Cannons which have proved useful in taking down enemy ships quickly. During the battle at Lagrange Five, the Churchill takes part in the battle against the Manhattan, a Ra Cailum Class Battleship. Though it takes a lot of damage, the Churchill manages to cripple the Manhattans engines and fall back with the rest of the fleet.
