Leonidas-class dreadnought

The Leonidas-class dreadnoughts are the largest ships in the United Alliance Navy and are utilised as flagships or heavy support vessels. Though smaller than it's Martian counterpart (Saratoga-class) the Leonidas-class is known for it's reliability and ability to multi-task a variety of different roles, this makes it one of the longest serving vessels in the history of the UAN having protected Earth and it's territories for decades.

Technology & Combat Characteristics
Leonidas dreadnoughts carry a very heavy payload of weaponry and some of the most advanced on-board systems available to the UA. A typical Leonidas-class comes armed with 2 Slicer-Pattern high-yield railgun emplacements, 8 autoloading warhead bays positioned around the section connecting the engines and armoury, and 22 Ballistic-Type close range turrets (CRTs). The targeting range of the Leonidas-class is from 5 - 15km and because of upgraded plasma warheads, any torpedo launched is guaranteed to hit it's target.
