Annihilator Class Battleship[1]
The Annihilator Class Battleship is an ancient class of Imperial Battleship.[1]
The first battleships designed and built at Cypra Mundi in Segmentum Obscurus, they were typical of the designs from the 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.[1]
