The '''{{PAGENAME}}''' is an ancient class of [[Imperial]] [[Battleship]].{{Fn|1}}
The first battleships designed and built at [[Cypra Mundi]] in [[Segmentum Obscurus]], they were typical of the designs from the [[Jupiter|Jovian]] shipyards but were unique thanks to their spear-headed front and unusual armament. The Annihilator abandoned traditional broadsides in favor favour of two enormous turret-mounted cannons. Known as '''Annihilator Cannons''', t hese 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 armored armoured hull of an enemy. A fraction of a second later the shell exploded, causing catastrophic damage.{{Fn|1}}
