The ship has a similar weapons layout to the Lunar, with medium sized [[weapons batteries]] and two [[lance]] positions on each flank of the ship, as well as [[torpedo]]es. However, due to the increased power availability the Armageddon class possesses, these weapons now have a far greater range than their counterparts on a Lunar Class, and there is still enough power to feed two further lance positions, each with battleship range, on the dorsal section of the ship. A drawback to these increased abilities was apparent when the first crew manifest was drawn up, an extra three and a half thousand crewmen were needed to enable the ship to operate at peak efficiency.<sup>1</sup>
With the increased need for manpower on the Armageddon because of enhanced weapon systems and redesigned power relays, the ship is quite cramped; being built from ruined Lunar Class cruiser hulls. This makes the Armageddon unsuitable for long-term exploration duties.<sup>2</sup> '''Famous Armageddon Class ships include:'''
