Description:
After the battle of Groombridge, the High Admirality recognized the need for battleships that didn't totally rely on a single cannon which only faced a single direction, though noting the utility of "bruiser" cannons that were large, powerful, and heavy hitting. To this end, United Federal Shipbuilders (Arizonan Wing) designed and built the Neodämmerung battleship, which packs 6 of the type of cannons mounted on the forward section of a Bulwark, with four forward (but swivelable) HMACX cannons, and two fixed aft HMACXs, besides some heavy turret mounted HMACs on the starboard and port sides. Like it's predecessor, the Neodämmerung also has a ready-made invasion force housed and supplies for them all, plus a fighter wing. Finally, UFS included anti-matter cannons to give the ship a knock-out punch. The Neodämmerung will replace the Bulwark II in Arizonan fleets, starting in the Third Expeditionary/Armada.
