Oppression-class Battlecruiser

The Oppression-class Battlecruiser, sometimes referred to as the Oppressor-class Battlecruiser, is a class of Battlecruiser operated by the Vlarian Starfleet. It is the most prized class of ship operated by the Vlarian Starfleet. second to the Supermacy class super/battle carrier the ship was used as a deferent when vlarian-ROTD tensions were high. The ship was often used as the mainline ship replacing the aging vlarian battleships as it was flexible and Can be built in nearly all vlarian shipyards thanks To its design.
== Design Phase ==
The Oppression or Oppressor-class was designed by Komodier Space Industries, going along some requirements the government issued. Other companies had designed other designs but the government decided that Komodier's design had to be chosen due to the sheer advantages it would have when fighting other foes in head to head combat. The Oppression-class was designed to be around 870 meters in length furthermore, the komodier design gave the battlecruiser a decent amount of small spacecraft . (73 craft per ship) the ship is one of the few vlarian ships to be equipped with MAC cannons.
 
==Construction Phase==
the Oppression-class was built on the Vlarian-occupied planet of Demeter Prime named after the Greek goddess of architecture. the government wanted an initial fleet of 10 ships but was increased to a staggering 35 ships of its class but only 20 were built while the remaining 15 are still under construction at orbital shipyards in several vlarian occupied shipbuilding planets.
==Armements and craft==
[True armaments are currently classified but it is known to have MAC Cannons, kinetic weapons such as missile pods, phaser emitters, plasma generators and launchers and a cloaking device in case situations go to the lowest] it also heas 3 fighter squadrons and 5 bomber squads combined, would make 75 aircraft. It can also carry 2 support ships in it’s rear hangar in sacrifice of fighter compliment 
== 2037 Refit ==
During the year 2037 when the Vlarian Federation was at its prime, several Oppressor-class Battlecruisers were retrofitted to still be capable in running as the mainstream battlecruiser for the Vlarian Federation being both as a solo ship and an escort ship capable of escorting the Supermacy-class Super/Battle Carrier. The refit was done at several Vlarian shipyards.
=== Retrofitted Ships ===
* RVN Oppressor 
* RVN Devastator
* RVN Primordial 
* RVN Shield 
* RVN Protector of Planets
* several more 
=== Retrofits Include ===
* Newer Magnetic Accelerator Cannon
* Newer VLS cells
* Newer armor plating
* Newer sub weapons 
The refits kept the battlecruiser as the mainstream battlecruiser for the Vlarian Federal Space Navy. More refits will be done in the future however.
== formation. ==
the oppression class when in formation is either used as a flagship or a escort when escorting more valuable ships (supermacy class etc) the ship when in escort, is normally In the center with the carrier or dreadnought of said fleet. To provide effective protection when the outer barrier of lighter and less capable ships are destroyed during an engagement.Category:Ships of the line
