Scythe Class Battlecruiser

Propulsion
The Scythe Class is propelled by 8 Ion engines. These Ion engines will make the ship accelerate up to 2423 G.

Ion engines are not build to work within atmospheres so therefore the Scythe Class has 2 back-up combustion engines in case they need to get within an atmosphere or something similar.

Energy Source
The Scythe Class is powered by a Helium-3 Fusion Reactor that is able to power the entire ship. It is responsible for powering the engines, powering the weapon systems and defensive systems and taking care of basic needs on the ship such as lightning.

Hyperspace
The Scythe Class has Type 06 Hyperspace units meaning it can travel at 6 parsecs an hour which would result in crossing the milky way in 213 days.

Armament
The Scythe Class is heavily armed with all kinds of weaponery but mainly focussed on Laser Weaponry with some minor Kinetic Weaponry.

They are equipped with 14 Heavy Laser Canons and 32 Laser Turrets which are good against both shields and hulls while the 6 Coil Canons are more specialized against hulls.

There are also 4 Proton torpedo batteries each loaded with 52 proton torpedoes giving this ship a total of 208 proton torpedoes.

There are also 25 Point-defense turret emplacements that give the ship defense against close ranged vessels such as fighters.

Hull and Shields
The Inner layer of the armor is Reactive Nanocomposite Plating which allows the hull to deflect much of the damage that comes from solid projectiles. Nanocomposite is also one of the strongest and lightest materials used by the alliance.

There are two types of shields that protect the hull from damage. The Kinetic barrier is a Mk II variant having additional stopping power. Excellent against kinetic weaponery it is useless against energy weaponry but that's why there is also a multiphase energy shield in place.

Complement
The ship has a minimal crew of 230 members. There are also usually 5 Marine Platoons on board the ship which makes an additional 150 marines on board. When the ship wants optimal functionality they would need a total of 580 crewmembers on board.

The Battlecruiser is also able to accommodate up to 50 Aquila Class Fighters in their hangar bays and also have a shuttle bay capable of housing 3 shuttles. There are also 21 SDRD launch tubes and can al simultaneously be used because there are also 21 computers on board which allow the control of these drones.

There are also 68 escape pods, 1 for each 10 crewmembers which is the standard for the Alliance.
