The '''{{PAGENAME}}''' is an ancient class of [[Imperial]] [[Battleship]].{{Fn|1}}

The first battleships designed and built at [[Cypra Mundi]] in [[Segmentum Obscurus]], they were typical of the designs from the [[Jupiter|Jovian]] shipyards but were unique thanks to their spear-headed front and unusual armament. The Annihilator abandoned traditional broadsides in favour of two enormous turret-mounted cannons. Known as '''Annihilator Cannons''', these massive weapons fired huge high explosive rocket-assisted shells. The shells were fired at such velocity that upon impact their sheer mass and speed was usually enough to tear through even the armoured hull of an enemy. A fraction of a second later the shell exploded, causing catastrophic damage.{{Fn|1}}
