Valour-class Fast Battleship

The is a heavily armoured, fast moving warship, designed to rapidly strike the enemy, ripping and tearing into their lines. Built by Sword of Sanghelios, based on ship designs made close to the end of the Great War, the Valour-class combines speed and armour, with powerful weaponry. While the majority of the design is not technologically advanced, it uses many tried and true systems to ensure reliability, especially under fire. The engines and reactors utilise new developments to improve performance. The ship uses Esoterica of ancient providence, gleamed from half-forgotten archives seen during the Covenant's early days. It carries a battery of Fedaj-pattern Kinetic Cannons. Using the same technology and ammunition that empowers the Type-57 Carbine, it can fire a devastating salvo of short-ranged but powerful kinetic munitions, capable of punching through ship armour. While they are purely kinetic, the rounds tumble and fragment, and take on pyrophoric traits shortly after impact, spreading burning shrapnel within the ship that magnifies the damage dealt. 
Rarely used for command roles, it instead leads squadrons of cruisers on rapid attacks, or forming the tip of the spear during naval assaults, relying on its armour, speed ,and weaponry to win the day.
