Official depiction of the Defender-class Battleship
Overview:
The Defender-class Battleship was conceived as a planetary defense and orbital security vessel capable of enduring sustained bombardment and leading coordinated fleet action. Emphasizing durability over speed, the Defender-class carries advanced shielding systems, hardened hull plating, and heavy batteries suited for standoff engagement or siege deterrence.
Despite its conservative design, the Defender remains a reliable workhorse in border zones and high-threat systems. Its presence is often a symbol of security and resolve.
