Comments: The Imkhu class battleship is an older
design, originally intended to be part of the strategic Imperial defense force.
This force was positioned along the Imperial frontier; it was thought that by
having large warships at worlds along the frontier foreign argession could be
virtually eliminated. However, this fleet proved to be costly to maintain and
most has since been broken up for scrap. A few remnants remain in the volitile
frontier sectors, serving as immediate defense warships.
This classes low jump makes it difficult to deploy quickly
and the Imkhu class are generally assigned to worlds believed to be
worth invading. As a battleship, a squadron of Imkhu's is a formidable
foe, capable of handling ships which outweight it considerably. This class also
serves with some invasion fleets, using it's array of weponry to quickly reduce
system and planetary defenses.
This design is from my imagination and is intended to assist my Fifth Frontier War campaign.
