      Comments: The Idlev is probably the last of it's type, a super-battleship. It is the Zhodani Consulate's ultimate power projection platform. However, navel design philosophy has shifted towards more efficient, smaller vessels dedicated to a specific role, e.g. the Viepchakl for pure space combat. The Idlev is even bigger than the Imperium's vaunted Tigress class and it's performance is similar (within the limits of TL14). The Idlev class ships are rarely deployed without significant support, as they are too valuable to risk losing.

      This ship was created by using High Guard Shipyard from the information given in Power Projection: Fleet by Dominic Mooney.
