Vindication-class light battleship (EXverse)

An uncommon UNSC type ship, the Vindication-class light battleship is a post-war powerful, yet fast, ship. Built with a ship-killer role in mind, it is one of the most powerful UNSC ship ever built, aside from the .
Having two massive MACs capable of destroying all but the heaviest Covenant vessel, it proved to be worthy of the work made by Martian Metals in the troublesome post-war years and beyond, when the remnants of the Covenant, the Created and, above all, the Banished were still a major threat to the humanity.

Being a battleship, it sports more guns than missiles. While being also armed with the latter, it's primary weapon systems is undoubtedly the 76G3V5 MAC batteries; the battery-style of the MAC is made up of the barrel and a additional, large coils, which reduces the charge time. However the gigantic system cause a long cooldown between shots despite this system, which forces the Vindication to be supported by other ships against smaller threats.
In fact these massive MACs were fitted in order to destroy the heaviest Covenant ships still operational, which numbers were still high despite the Great Schism: the appearance of the Banished worsened the situation, as they reactivated many Covenant shipyards and they started to produce also newer ships. So, this Mark X is amongst the largest and most powerful MACs ever produced, aside from the Series-8 installed aboard . Nearly 1,400 meters long, it is capable of firing only 2,000 and 1,800-tons shells and all type of rounds available at 200 kilometers per second. Specifically designed to destroy carriers and supercarriers, it can destroy a in one shot. The only issue with this MAC is the long charge time, being more or less two minutes.
Secondary armament is made up of 50 M58 Archer missile pods, each of which contains thirty ordnances. General-purpose, they can be fitted with various warhead options and they are used by Vindications as screening weapons when the MAC is charging. This is a different approach, common during the war, where Archers were used to supplement the MAC, as often it wasn't capable both to disable shields and to destroy a ship alone.
4 M60 Sentry naval autocannons are fitted as close-in weapon system alongside 20 M910 point defense guns. While Ramparts are used against both fighters and incoming missiles or torpedoes, Sentries helps Ramparts against larger threat such as boarding crafts.
