[b]Toranna-Class Battleship[/b]

[b]Armor Material:[/b] Battleship-class ablative armour with anti-energy buffers
[b]Height:[/b] 270 meters
[b]Length:[/b] 680 meters
[b]Width:[/b] 340 meters
[b]Bridge Crew:[/b] 6 (Captain, Weapons, Pilot, Navigator, Sensors, Communications)
[b]Creator(s):[/b] 


[b]Ability Data[/b]

[b]Anti-Energy Buffers:[/b] Most battleships are equipped with a series of "buffers" on their hull which partially deflect incoming energy weapons away from critical areas.
[b]Missile Jammers:[/b] To help protect the fleet, Toranna-class Battleships are equipped with missile jammers, which are able to defeat most types of sensors.


[b]Weapon Data[/b]

[b]CIWS Cannons:[/b] Spaced all along the hull of the ship are numerous rapid fire ballistic and energy cannons designed to shoot down incoming missiles or aircraft.
[b]Close-Combat Missile Launchers:[/b] In addition to the CIWS cannons, the ship is also equipped with a number of smaller missile launchers which fire missiles designed to keep enemy aircraft and Mateys at bay. While not powerful, they can fire a large enough spread to make closing in a risky option.
[b]Cluster Rocket Launchers:[/b] Toranna-class Battleships are equipped with 2 dumb-fire cluster rocket launchers, which each fire a single rocket at a time that opens up and deploys 50 smaller rockets in a cloud spread. While each rocket is individually fairly weak (though a well-placed hit can still take out a Matey), the large cloud makes it almost impossible to avoid.
[b]Heavy Missile Launchers:[/b] Toranna-class Battleships are equipped with 4 8-tube missile launchers, which fire large anti-Matey warheads.
[b]Torpedo Launchers:[/b] Toranna-class Battleships are equipped with 2 torpedo launchers, designed to heavily damage enemy ships (which are usually unable to make quick movements), but are not quite as effective against Mateys or aircraft which are able to move quickly.
[b]Heavy Rail Cannon:[/b] Toranna-class Battleships are equipped with a single heavy rail cannon, capable of firing a nearly meter tall slug at high velocities.


[b]Technical and Historical Notes[/b]

The main workhorse of the Canadia Armed Forces' space fleet, the Toranna-class Battleship is a jack-of-many-trades, but master of none. While they are not designed to carry troops, Toranna-class Battleships carry heavier weapons then is common for it's class. With so many types of missiles typically mounted on each ship, standard tactics usually start with a Toranna-class entering the combat zone behind a massive wall of it's own missiles.
