Scourge Battleship

Scourge battleships have, until recently, been among the enemy’s best known command ships. Their segmented hulls apparently predated most Scourge ships and may have stalked the stars for over a millennium. Now, brand new battleships are appearing, free of meteor scars and battle damage. The distinctive, predatory silhouette of this radical new design is already dreaded in combat and represents the aliens’ worrying capacity to innovate. This hull supports new, gargantuan plasma launchers, upgradable engines, and increased power generation.

This allows multiple main weapons systems to be fitted, upping this already nightmarish vessel to super battleship status.

The Beelzebub brings the might Furnace Battery, this weapon will Burnthrough the strongest armour and is the destroyer of these builds.

Sacrificing firepower for launch assets is the Devil, the additional fighters and bombers giving the scourge great options to counter enemy launch assets. 

The mighty Lucifer is built for speed and carrying capacity, to rain them onto the enemy. 

The Raum was the first Scourge battleship sighted with new capabilities, utilising their latest superstructure design. Entirely different from the ancient leviathans the UCMF were accustomed to facing, these ships are apparently brand new—a major concern. The Raum mounts the newly encountered heavy plasma beam in addition to oculus arrays and substantial launch capacity, making it especially deadly at close quarters. Coupled with its stealthy capabilities, this new threat is already dreaded.

With its heavy plasma beam triad, the Nephilim is one of the most fearsome known ships within close action range. These vast energy weapons can core-out the largest opponents with searing plasma. Additionally, its quad furnace fangs and oculus beams enhance this monster’s lethality. Lastly, like all Scourge super battleships, the class has been encountered either with stealth capabilities or extra drives, both of which help the Nephilim reach killing range.

The Bael was the first of the enemy’s new super battleships to be encountered by the UCM, where it ambushed and annihilated an entire supply convoy and all its escorts single-handedly. The class has substantial, mixed firepower including a mega plasma lance battery, multiple oculus beam weapons systems, torpedoes, and supplementary launch capacity. Once fitted with either extra engines or stealth systems, this leviathan is formidable.

Likely a close relation to its cousin, the Bael class, the Samael also mounts a mega plasma lance battery, multiple oculus weapons systems, and torpedoes. It forgoes the Bael’s launch capacity though, in favour of even more direct anti-shipping firepower in the form of a pair of furnace fangs. This wide suite of weapons allows this super battleship to destroy multiple foes simultaneously or pummel one victim with extreme prejudice.

The Faust class super battleship is a lethally flexible ship, although it generally favours killing at close range where it can employ its twin heavy plasma beams. The Faust also boasts significant launch capabilities to strike at more distant targets, aided by its deadly torpedo payload. Oculus weapons round off this leviathan’s murderous capabilities.
