This heavy cruiser is the backbone of the imperial fleet and is what most people think about when they hear “Imperial warfleet”.

This 30,000-ton (SM +11), unstreamlined starship is 150 meters long. It is about the same mass as a World War II battleship.

The Admiral class is heavily armored and bristles with beam and missile firepower.

Its antimatter reactor gives it plenty of power at relatively low mass, but unfortunately leaves it vulnerable to catastrophic kills. To mitigate this, the reactor is buried deep in the heart of the vessel.
