Description
The design stage of the Cromwell-class started in 813 A.S. Full development was completed by the end of 817 A.S., with completion of HMS-Cromwell along with HMS-Royal.Caridea at the drydocks of Southampton. In 818 A.S., the HMS-Cromwell and its sister ship, the HMS-Royal.Caridea were deployed in Tau-31 to aid the Battleship Macduff.
When the Gallic invasion in the Taus occurred, the Macduff had attempted to pull back to Newcastle, but sadly due to the experimental technical details, Cromwell and Royal Caridea remained behind, along with an unknown number of remnants of the Macduff, those that did not make it across. As the Cromwell-class was lost, the Admiralty Board considered the project for the new class a failure and remained to the standard ones used in the present day.
Differences from previous classes
The main differences between the Cromwell-class and other classes were as follows:
- Low-emission powercore, used to hide its EM signature. Disadvantage: ship's firepower was diminished by a small portion due to the fact some of the energy was driven to electronics.
- Better maneuvering thrusters, to dodge incoming enemy fire in combination with a lighter hull.
- Despite the lighter hull, an old armor plating from a long-forgotten project was mounted, keeping the hull intact like the ones of the previous versions, but allowing for easier maneuvering.
- A new cloaking device, diverting the whole power from the ship's core to conceal it, bending EM radiation better than any model at the time. Since none of the two battleships of the Cromwell-class were used in almost 8 years in combination with the damage sustained while trying to flee from Tau-31, both devices are prone to overheating and require a certain amount of time to cool down if the limit is reached.
