Nemesis-class Battlecruiser

“Mercular will be crispy...”
-Spaatz, leader of Jovia
== Initial development ==
The NJR's lack of a relatively large capital ship and the performance of the Retribution-class Heavy Cruisers meant a ship like the Nemesis was required. at 884 meters from bow to stern, the Nemesis project was seen as a success. With the advent of greater technological leaps and a large amount of resources from expansion, the Nemesis-class were commissioned to fill the capital ship sized gap. Core Dynamics, one of the primary contractors, was in-part responsible for the design of the Nemesis-class. 
== Design and roles ==
As a battlecruiser, the Nemesis-class are designed to hit extremely hard, and still maintain cruiser-like speeds. Twin T-5 Spinal Rail cannons provide high firepower, with two more Quadruple Railgun barbette turrets backing up the main cannons. 16 All-purpose coilgun batteries provide lighter fire and point-defense capability. 
== Status ==
Currently, there are 15 ships of the Nemesis-class in service in the Jovian Federal Navy. 30 more ships are currently unused. Another 15 were planned to be ordered over the next few years.
== History ==
The Nemesis-class battlecruisers saw action during the Lunar Empire v. USA conflict in late 2037. Their usage was to "great effect" as described by a Rear Admiral post-conflict. Category:Ships of the line
