Monarch-Class WIP 1by *madeinjapan1988

Digital Art / Vector / Vehicles

The First ship I've designed for the Star-Empire of Sagittarius.

Armed with heavy bridge gravity shields, the Star-Empire forgoes the norm of burying is bridges within the hulls of warships, instead turning to a tradition of honor and the courage needed to "see your enemy and stare down his gun barrel", placing the bridge at the top of a dorsal tower.

Having never signed the Treaty of Avalon, the Monarch benefits from never having suffered form the restrictions on Naval technology. As such, despite being nearly 30 years old, the Monarch weighs in at 25 million tons and is 2.3 km long, the largest battlecruiser in existence and closing in on the 2.5km long Atleantean War Cruiser.

Furthermore, the ship is equipped with 9 of the largest guns ever mounted on a battlecruiser hull. The .3c 60-inch main gun is as powerful as the latest battleships guns and gives the Monarch an unparalleled punch at gun range. In fact, given its relatively weak low-tier standard missile broadside, the Monarch - like other Imperial Warships - uses its speed, heavy shields, and dense anti-missile systems to close to gun-range of any target it wishes to engage, then using it heavy main guns to rip apart its foes with relative ease. Alliance Captains, even those of the newest Vanguard-Class, can only hope to break through a Monarch's shields while still out of gun-range; because once the 60-incher's on the Monach are zeroed in, there is few ships short of a battleship and dreadnought that can hope to escape its clutches.

vary vary vary cool! would it be deployed in formations with smaller support craft or would they just get in the way?

I'm not exactly sure how to put this. It's design is instantly recognizable, but not in the sense that it bears a resemblance to anything specific. It just looks like what a warship ought to look like.

are the Sagittarians imperialist? I hate to see even one Monarch jump into my system.

They are indeed. Most of their expansion is in the direction of the galactic south, an area known as the "Threshold." They are bordered by the Alliance and the Atleantean Empire which keep their expansion inward largely checked.

It is a very sleek looking ship. It has an aggressive feel to the design that I really like.

*very long whistle* This ship means business.

btw aren't the Alliance and the Empire actually allied or will they breake up during the upcoming war?

*whistles nonchalantly* Hmm, sorry? I couldn't hear your question. Probably couldn't answer it anyways.

Glad you like it.

Looks like the Star-Empire ship was influenced by Tron.

*madeinjapan1988 Jan 20, 2011 Hobbyist Digital Artist

Some say Tron, some say Starblazers, some say Star Wars. ::shrugs:: At the end of the day everyone sees something else in it. I personally think it is its own ship.

awesome design, it has a sort of evil look to it
