Independent-class

The Independent-class (not to be confused with the on-hold Independence-class) is an upcoming class of battleships and heavy command vessels, being built by the PlazWorks subsidiary of Trident Foundries.
== Description ==
The Independent-class is physically the largest design that Trident Foundries have ever designed, reaching 718 metres in length and even surpassing the Ragnarok/Paladin II-class of Heavy Cruisers, and is designed to continue the basic shape first introduced on the smaller Crusader-class cruisers.
It will feature a spacious hangar bay for multiple shuttles and landing craft, ample crew quarters for all the crew and complement of Marines, and enhanced interdiction systems to slow enemy vessels down.
The Independent-class also functions as a command-and-control starship, commanding and directing large fleets of manned and unmanned vessels, and also serves as a large mobile resupply base. Independent-class vessels are just as important to the Trident military as static Starbases and resupply stations. It's weapon systems will be geared towards defence and fleet support, with the exception of the yet-undecided massive spinal weapon.
=== Exterior ===
Externally the Independent-class shares many similarities to the slightly newer Solaris-class Explorer that was designed at the same time, and the Crusader-class Light Cruiser that shares the vertical twin prong design, but the features are scaled up on the larger Independent. It also shares the V-Plate cooling system with those ships, as the system was designed by the PlazWorks Shipyard and Construction Company specifically for larger vessels.
The Independent-class features a single main and two secondary Hyperflux Coil Thrusters which are sufficient to propel the ship forwards at a reasonable sublight speed. The Independent-class is also fitted with a huge array of reaction thrusters (RCS) on all parts of the ship, which is necessary to move the massive bulk of the ship in any direction other than straight forwards.
