D-Type Battleship

== Overview ==
The D-Type Battleship is the successor to the C-Type Battleship of the Merculan Starfleet. They were designed as superheavy support ships to compliment the roles of the C-Type Battleship. Upon entering service, they served in the first and second Hyberian Wars in 2033 and fought toe to toe against similarly designed Hyberian Battleships. D-Type Battleships continue to serve Merculan fleets and are considered one of the most powerful standard battleships ever built. 
== Design and Construction ==
The D-Type project was started around the same time as the C-Type in 2026. Many different designs were considered, such as a triangular wedge shaped hull. 
Several designs including a carrier-battleship hybrid were considered, however eventually a rectangular hull design similar to the ones seen on the C-Type Battleship and Pinnacle-class Star Dreadnought was approved. The D-Type Battleships finally began production in mid 2031 at the Imperion Shipyards.
