Scylla-class

The Scylla-class battleship was built in response to the Titan ban in the LvD cluster to replace the former role of the Jormungandr-class Titan.
== History ==
It first saw action in October of 2317.
After a scout ship went missing at Ebi Colony, Dire responded to the incident by investigating the outpost with the LUX variant of a Ddraig. When he got there, he was attacked by a dark side fleet consisting of 2 Aeshima-class heavy destroyers and 4 Salamis-class frigatesa 35k frigate common in the LvD cluster not to be confused with the 500k battleship available on the starmade dock.. With his shields knocked out almost instantly, Dire fell back and requested assistance.
Merc Dragon responded by sending a Scylla to assist. Working together, the two ships eliminated the dark fleet in approximately 1-2 minutes.
Since then, this class of ship has never been lost in battle despite numerious engagements across the LvD, Freaks, and Brierie clusters having amassed victories totaling over 4 times its mass in enemy assets, plus about 3m mass in pirate ships during the the LvD "Skullface" and "Unmarked" invasion events.
Despite a number of early successes, by the end of 2317, MercDragon leadership noticed that the Scylla specifically struggled against faster moving missile boats such as the Darkside's new Baal-Class crusier. MercDragon engaged in joint training exercises with Trinova testing both the Ddraig and Scylla against equivalently classed Trinova ships and Baals to work out these design flaws. Based on the intel gathered during these exercises, the Scylla MK-II series was fitted with the newer XT-418-R3 turret set and 8 "Harlequin" Disruptors.
As of January 14, 2318. All of MercDragon's Scylla class ships have been upgraded to use the more successful MK-II configuration set in response to the rapid proliferation of Baal-class and similar cruisers.
