Ulysses-class Battleship

While construction of more traditional warships continues apace, the UNSC has continued to develop and refine more radical technologies, resulting in new and unusual warships, such as the . Developed to use an exploit technologies gained from the Covenant and ARC DREAM, the Ulysses is an advanced weapon with a host of energy weapon armaments. The chief amongst these is a front facing battery of 8 120cm Neutron Particle Beam Cannons, commonly referred to as N-Beams. With this, the new battleship can fire punishing salvos against a single target, or spread its fire across multiple targets. Capable of effortlessly switching from annihilating heavy warships, to taking out waves of escorts, it is spear heading the UNSC's reconquista against invaders. Most curiously, the ship has been vital in destroying pockets of Created resistance thanks it its unusual resilience to the attenuation pulse of Forerunner Guardians, a protection shared with other products of ARC DREAM.

===Weapons===
The primary armament of the Ulysses-class is eight Mark 1 Mod 1 120cm Triplex Array Neutron Particle Beam Cannons. Known as simple N-Beams, each beam is an individual assembly that can fire electrons at a fraction of the speed of light, creating pulsating beams of light that can shred targets. Effective against both armour and shields, each cannon has a triplex array of accelerators, utilising two linked cyclotrons to spin up multiple particles then a linear accelerator (LINAC) that then performs the final acceleration. With this, it can maintain a surprisingly high, and lethal rate of fire. Each beam has a magnetic lens that allows it to direct the beam's path within a limited cone. This allows individual beams to be steered to different targets, or focused on a single point. This allows for each of the N-Beams to target an individual threat, or multiple targets on one ship, or even salvo fire on one point to breach heavy armour.
