Protector-class Battleship
Overview
The Protector-Class Battleship (designation PCB) is the Imperial Republic Navy’s primary fast-attack capital warship — a next-generation command vessel combining hardened defense systems, advanced sensor arrays, and a heavy weapons suite. Designed to lead rapid-response strike groups, enforce orbital dominance, and support planetary invasions, the Protector balances battlefield endurance with striking versatility.
At 1,200 meters in length, it is smaller than the Defender-class but sacrifices nothing in terms of combat capability. It carries 20 laser cannons, 20 heavy lasers, 50 turbolasers, 20 missile launchers, and 30 ion batteries — a powerful armament suite suitable for overwhelming shields, disabling enemy systems, and coordinating with starfighter formations.
With space for 10,000 troopers, 10 squadrons, and a payload of vehicles and shuttles, it is frequently deployed in support of surface operations. Its large cargo volume and shuttle capacity allow for swift theater reinforcement and rapid redeployment. While it lacks planetary landing capability, its orbital deployment systems, hardened armor, and deep shielding make it a cornerstone of long-duration fleet deployments.
Often serving as the flagship of "Spear Vanguard" flotillas, the Protector is responsible for clearing engagement zones, screening vulnerable convoys, and projecting Imperial Republic strength across contested sectors. It is also used in ceremonial fleets and high-command operations where firepower, endurance, and control converge.
