The features of these ships are stronger armor, slower reaction time, and low crew size, stradling the qualities of low-tech but not quite.
The ships are available in Midline and CNT special variants, the variants have access to a single defence drone to help with combat.
BadBat™ Defence DroneSpoiler
A modern defense drone, produced and used specifically for the Count's fleet.
BadBat™ are heavy-duty shielded drone with the capability of point defense and strike using its Atropos payload.
Unable to operate independently outside the Count's combat network, the drone is an easy target for the enemy but an effective escort unit for its accompanying ship.
Maron Class DestroyerSpoiler
Pioneering an experimental casted hull consruction mechanic, Maron-class destroyers are heavy and cumbersome line ship of its class.
Boasting exceptional armor for its size and damage dampening system, Maron-class destroyers mostly intended to function as an automated ship but the collapse and the following AI Wars prevented that line of progress. The former AI core housing serve as the ship's protected bridge.
The methods of its construction also made true mass production truly prohibitive as the entire ship's hull are required to be casted in one piece, and a cast of that size require truly specialized industrial facility, however some allowances and modification to the blueprint are made post-collapse to ease production.
Lucien Class Auxiliary CruiserSpoiler
An experimental casted hull auxiliary cruiser, Heavily armed for its role and size, The Lucien are almost a jack of all trade interm of cargo capacity, the ability to carry fuel for the fleet and its spacious living quarters. Intended to function as an automated flagship to lead a fleet of Maron class Destroyers on a multirole taskgroup. It was nevertheless delayed due to the complexity of its construction, and after the collapse the housing of the AI cores are used as a command room and bridge of the ship.
The casting methods of armor have been known since the dawn of metalworking, but to apply it on a scale the size of a starship is the height of folly as the ship is unnecessarily expensive, heavy and cumbersome. To compensate for this, a missile autoforge were added to supply the cruiser with more staying power.
'Special' Camo for the Lucien
Spoiler
A special paintjob have been applied to this ship, advertising some kind of holonet personality of Count's various business interests.
