Technical and Historical Data
The Interplanetary War erupted without notice and forced the EUSF to further its defenses. Following the first encounter with the Martian Fleet, the Union deploys the Ra Cailum Class Battleship which is quite powerful for a combatant of its size. Though the ship is twice the size of the Nelson Class Battleship, it features a dedicated lightweight setup to avoid unnecessary clutter and weight. The whole body of the ship is also covered in a protective laminate coating, this special defense helps disperse heat from enemy attacks and can defend against beam weapons. Upgraded from the main guns that are used on the Clop Class, the Ra Cailum Class features larger 403mm Beam Cannons for long range and heavy bombardments. There is also a very impressive array of Machine Gun turrets for close range and point defense. Although the battle is lost, the Manhattan is present during the L5 Encounter and takes moderate damage to its engines.
