Jormongandr-class

The Jormongandr-Class Titan is the deadliest warship ever deployed by MercDragon. Unlike it's predecessor, the Nidhog, this ship was only designed with one role in mind: Destroying other titans.
== Description ==
Even before the Titan Ban of October 2317, the LvD Intergalactic Authorities placed strict guidelines on the design of Titan class ships in an effort to prevent the time-space distortions known as LAG.  To this end, the Jormongandr featured a number of departures from Merc Dragon's previous design tenants in an attempt to maximize the amount of advanced technologies that it could be equipped without violating the LAG threshold imposed by the Authorities.  The LAG optimizations allowed the ship to function cleanly despite a number of system implementations that most engineers would consider too unstable for a ship of this size.
== History ==
=== 2317 ===
In early weapon tests, it was demonstrated to be capable of crippling or destroying most classes of battleships with a single salvo while itself being able to absorb unprecedented amounts of damage with its unique dragon-scale hull design.  The dragon-scale hull was latter adopted by the smaller and more well know Ddraig-class.
An incomplete version of the Jormongandr was mobilized in July 2317 to protect Tenebrous Lux from an attack by one of Infinite Legion’s Draka-class titans (piloted by Withering Silence).  Despite having several incomplete systems, the Jormongandr crippled the Draka within the first minute of the fight. That said, the then unstable power systems of Jormongandr caused the jump inhibitor to fail allowing the Draka to escape just before the finishing salvo could hit.  This battle was shortly followed by a challenge from Knights Belligerent’s 500k flagship (class-unknown).  The fight appeared at first to be a stalemate until Knights Belligerent received reinforcements from his allies driving Jormongandr off.  Neither side received significant damage.
Although the Jormongandr was finally completed, the LvD Intergalactic Authorities placed a ban on ALL titans of this size before it could be again see deployment.
