The EuF’s final word in most naval engagements, the Apollyon Class is an incredibly advanced series of warships, utilizing the latest in military technology to produce a highly lethal warship fully capable of defeating any foolish enough to stray into the range of its powerful guns and vast array of missiles. Though vulnerable in close range, the Apollyon uses its complement of gunships to harass targets long before they enter within the ship’s minimum effective range, leaving ample time for the warship to engage sea and air targets alike. Additionally, the Class’ powerful armament is supplemented by an extensive E-War suite, allowing it to provide support to all other ships that accompany it in a fleet.
The main armament’s significant power demands are met by the four large sludge-electric generators, while general load is carried by the numerous ASRGs that are strategically placed around the ship’s hull for maximum redundancy. The Apollyon is one of the best protected oceancraft in the world, with multiple overlapping anti-missile screens, thick belt armour, and various redundant systems to ensure functionality even while under heavy fire.
