Technical and Historical Data
When the Martian Civil Uprising began, the Earth Union Space Forces, deployed to mars to suppress the civil unrest. The conflict saw the EUSF deploy the Nelson class battleship during the ending where two were present during the Nomad Tragedy. While not too much bigger than a Drake class in terms of overall length, they are much bulkier and have quite a bit more armor for defending against enemy attacks. They are equipped with three Dual Barrel 304mm Gun Systems for the purpose of long range anti-ship warfare or bombarding a target. Several Twin Machine Gun turrets also defend the ship from incoming missile attacks and enemy machines like Mobile Workers or Mobile suits.
