====== Juggernaut Cruiser======
===== 1. About the Ship =====
This ship was designed as an exercise in alternative uses in pre-existing technology, based on an Asteroid-mining ship, it uses tractor beams as weapons.

No one actually knows who blurted the idea out in the brainstorming session, but Jenssen and Storm corporation take the credit.

**Refit Cycle:** once every two years
===== 4. Roleplay Stats and Cost =====
==== Sections and Armor Rating ====
Engines- Medium
Hull-Medium
DMM Array(weapons)-heavy
Shields- Very heavy
===== 5. Inside the Ship =====
==== Deck Layout ====
there are six decks, not including the bridge deck
==== Compartment Layouts ====
Basic two-man rooms, with work stations and beds. and a restroom.
=== Armory ===
Every floor has an Armory, in case of a boarding
=== Bridge ===
The bridge is highly complex in order to control the ship's erratic movements and the DMM Arrays.
=== Captain's Suite ===
Same as all the other rooms, except only the captain resides in it.
=== Cargo Storage Areas ===
Deck six is a large cargo storage deck
=== Crew Recreation ===
deck three has a gym and arcade.
=== Engineering ===
Scattered throughout the ship, there are engineering compartments that provide access to various systems.
=== Maintenance Conduits ===
small tunnels leading from engineering sections to various sub-systems, these snake throughout the entire ship. they also double as ventilation shafts.
=== Medical Center and Laboratory ===
each floor has a medical center, near the armory.
=== Passageways ===
10' by 15' hallways line the decks and provide access to all the major rooms.
=== Hangar Bays ===
There is a small shuttle bay which has room for four shuttles. it has two odd entrances on the lower sides of the midships, which cannot be opened during manuevering.
===== 6. Ship Systems =====
==== Armored Hull and Hull Integrated Systems ====
most of the ship is made of Duratanium, but the DMM arrays are covered in a classified alloy that provides superior protection while not interfering with the systems.
==== Computers and Electronics ====
The ship has an AI supported by an ASIAN unit as the ship's avatar. these units can either be set as the ship's commander or as an aide to the commander, and excell in both fields.
==== Emergency Systems ====
The Juggernaut contains enough escape pods to save the entire crew. there are fire-suppression systems in place in every part of the ship.
==== Life Support Systems ====
there is a life support system throughout the ship that constantly cleans and recycles air. it utilises a photosynthesis like process to clean the air and create sugars which may be used on foods.
==== Propulsion ====
The warp drive allows the ship to move many times the speed of light. during battle, the warp drive allows the ship to change it's direction of travel almost immediately by use of warp conduit output ports on every side of the ship. there are four especially large rotating warp outlets on the top, bottom, and sides of the midsection, allowing the ship exceptional agility.
==== Shield Systems ====
the Juggernaut has an array of four high-powered Plutanovicz generators and Arrays, giving it almost as much shielding as a Terra-class.
==== Weapons Systems ====
The DMM Arrays, or Directional Matter Manipulators, are a vastly powerful system of gravity-based tractor beams which are powerful enough to keep a starship from going to hyperspace. Originally designed for Asteroid mining, these Arrays have been souped up to become weapons-grade.

There are no PDW's on this ship, and it relies on fighters from other ships as support.
=== Main Weapons ===
12 DMM Arrays placed on the front of the ship. These arrays can be used to crush a ship due to overwhelming gravity, or simply throw ships at each other.
===== 7. Vehicle Complement =====
==== Shuttles ====
up to four shuttles of any make used by the terran military.

This ship makes children cry.

And that's awesome.

Any reason this shouldn't be approved? I probably need to make more Drathonian ships to compliment all the terran stuff.

Too impossibly badass.

I would cut out the part about 'just throwing ships at each other.' We have to remember that even the smallest Drathonian warships are considerably larger than the Hymn. Throwing enough force at one to completely disable inertial dampeners would be pretty difficult. Possible, but not to the extent of 'throwing' the ship. More like pushing it. The concept of preventing it from moving sounds a bit implausible as well. Perhaps hyperspace, since that requires very specific conditions for the ship to be able to engage it. But I would say you should make the tractor beam only able to a) slow a ship in movement and b) keep a ship from moving unless it gets its engines going at high power.

As is, I'd say this is even stronger than the Solaron Cannon. That at least has a hefty charging and cooldown time, and requires putting the shields down. And the Solaron Cannon is pretty OP.
