Changes

The Armageddon class was designed to rapidly increase the number of battlecruisers avalible battle cruisers available 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 operational battle cruiser. ¹

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 battlehship 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 opperate operate at peak efficencyefficiency.¹
