The Armageddon class was designed to rapidly increase the number of battlecruisers avalible to the [[Imperial Navy]] during the [[Third War for Armageddon]]. Built exclusively from recovered shells of [[Lunar Class Cruiser]]s, the Armageddon class upgraded the Lunar to an opperational operational battle cruiser.
The ship has a similar weapons layout to the Lunar, with medium sized [[weapons battery]]s and two [[lance]] positions on each flank of the ship, aswell as [[torpedo]]s. However, due to the increased power avalibility the armageddon class posseses, these weapons now have a far greater range than their counterparts on a Luner Class, and there is still enough power to feed two further lance positions, each with battlehship 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 opperate at peak efficency.
