The '''Apocalypse Class Battleship''' is a [[lance]] attack craft and one of the only [[battleship]] in the [[Imperial Navy]] armed with a [[Nova Cannon]].{{Fn|1}}
The ''Apocalypse'' has no other primary armament than its [[lance batteries]] and its mighty [[Nova Cannon]]. However, despite its seemingly limited armament it is able to reduce enemy ships, from [[escort]]s to large capital ships, into blazing hulks within a frighteningly short period of time.{{Fn|1}}
The ''Apocalypse'' has a small [[weapons battery]] on its dorsal section, and banks of [[lance]]s down the port and starboard hull. Normally the weapons batteries would be used to collapse the shields of an enemy ship, before the lances rip into the ship directly. Instead, the ''Apocalypse'' uses its Nova Cannon - capable of obliterating whole squadrons of escorts in a single shot - when closing in on the enemy.{{Fn|1}}
