Pendragon class

==Description==
The Pendragon class started life as a Federated Commonwealth project whose goal was to develop a warship that could counter rumored frigate and destroyer classes under development in the Capellan Confederation, Draconis Combine, and Free Worlds League. With the succession of the Lyran Alliance the design team was split in two with the Lyran members going on to create the rival Teiwaz class. The Pendragon is intended for long range warfare carrying 1,000 capital grade missiles along with long range Naval energy weapons, and numerous aerospace fighters. The first ships were commissioned in the last days of the Fedcom Civil War, and for over a decade in its aftermath they were the heaviest Federated Suns warship class in production.
==Armament==
Given that the Pendragon is intended for long range combat, and controlling the range is vital to combat tactics for the class the designers decided to have the aft angle, and aft capital weapons bays mirror their forward counterparts. The nose and aft bays each have 2 AAR10 missile launchers, 2 Heavy Naval PPCs, and 1 class 55 Naval Laser while the angle bays each have 1 AAR 10 launcher, 1 Heavy Naval PPC, 2 class 55 Naval Lasers. The broadside bays each contain 2 AAR10 launchers, 2 Medium Naval PPcs, 1 class 55, and 3 class 45 Naval Lasers. The point defense bays each have 4 Anti-missile systems, 4 ER PPCs and 8 ER Large Lasers while the nose and aft bays each add a single Screen Launcher with 10 screens.
==Cargo==
The Pendragon class supports 3 dropships, and carries 24 Aerospace fighters along with 46,315 tons of cargo.
==Variants==
There is a Pendragon II Class frigate which changes the ER Lasers to Pulse Lasers while reducing the AMS mounts to 3 per bay but changing them to laser based systems as well.
==What if Warships remained active verision==
In this timeline the Pendragon was developed in the mid 28th century but the Pendragon II would not be developed until the 3050s as a counterpart to the Teiwaz class of that era.
