Battlecruiser

Battlecruisers are larger than Cruisers but Smaller than Dreadnoughts, They are specifically Built for Combat equipped a large array of Weaponry and Defence Systems, They Generally Work in a Squadron or Fleet for support due to them not having as many Point-Defence Turrets to defend against Missiles, Interceptors and Bombers as majority of space has been dedicated to their offensive capabilities than defensive. Despite this they have thicker and stronger armour plating than the smaller classes as they are usually in the gritty battlefield broadsiding hostile ships with their broadside turrets. Battlecruisers during peacetime patrol like any other starship though are more on standby for when a Frigate or Cruiser comes across something to big for them to handle, There are specially designed Classes of Battlecrusier designed for Boarding or Planetary Invasion equipped with Drop Pods, Large Troop Transports and Vehicle Bays.

Battlecruisers are generally crewed by 800 to 1200 Crew members majority being in Tactical and Security Departments, Engineering making the Second largest Department to be crewed to maintain and repair the large array of combat equipment used aboard battlecruisers, Most Space within the vessels are used for ammunition storage, Missile Silos and other equipment used during combat including Cyber Suites for hacking and a Combat Information Centre which keep track of everything happening within the Battlefield, Due to their being a CIC on Battlecruisers Admirals and Fleet Admirals uses them as Flagships of Warfleets and Fleets, Unlike their Cruiser Cousins Battleships aren't equipped with a ASFR due to their large size making it difficult for Battlecruisers to manoeuvre to firing positions so they rely on their Missiles and Torpedoes for Long-Range, railgun turrets along the spine and belly of the ship for Mid-Range and Railgun Broadside Turrets for Close-Range Engagements.
