Berihrolbheh Heavy Cruiser

design by Yves Simon


The Berihrolbhehis an old designdataing from before the Darrian Setback. Produced at a TL-16, it was a quite aggressive ship for it's time. After the Maghiz disrupted the Darrian subsector, only one ship had survive the destruction valiantly jumping to Mire with half of it's jump nodes scrambled. To damaged to be repaired at that time, the Berihr' was mothballed in the Oort Cloud until repairs deemed possible. They never came... All the world lost contact one by one.

During the Rebellion, the need of a strong cruiser and a young researcher in military history uncovered the Berihr' and give it a second life. As TL 16 was to high to be practicle, the Darrian Navy reconstructed the ship with TL-15 components and started the production of several other. Now the Berihr' class is a common sight in the Confederation Navy.

The Berihr' is a tough ship made for heavy fighting. Speed was reduced to accommodate heavy armor (30 cm of BSD) and a large amount of weapons. Primary armament consist in a 150 Gj Spinal PAW seconded by 4 720 Mj Multilenses Laser Arrays located in 50 dTons bays (5 lenses per bay). Secondary armament consists in fifty 300 Mj Laser Barbettes and 25 Missiles Barbettes. Defensive armament was not forgotten, the ship boast 50 PDS laser arrays allowing to engage up to 250 misiiles (5 lenses per array) along 50 Sandcaster turrets and 50 Nuclear Damper Turrets. A 1200 AV Meson shield was added to protect against Meson equiped ships.

The ship only manage 4G of accellerations and 7 hours of autonomy at full thrust.Crew quarter are spacious (a small stateroom for two crew members) and some recreationnal area are provided.

The ship is fully capable of Gas Giant refueling.
