Arcadia

* Original ship
* Upgrated version

Arcadia, a spaceship designed by engineer Tochiro Oyama and its captained by Harlock.

## Origin

Due to the tyranny of the emperor of Britain, Charles zi Britannia, Captain Harlock dreamed of overthrowing the government so that the people would not suffer because of his selfish goals. Soon, the future pirate met the engineer Toshiro Oyama, who had the same plans, and for this reason, in secret from everyone, he designed a huge spaceship, which would soon be pirated. Having gathered with them a team of hundreds of people, including Prince Lelouch vi Britannia himself, they set off into the boundless space.

## Abbilities

Due to the "Concept Change", Arcadia was also able to have 2 different forms for herself, which are different from each other, both visually and in strength.

### Pirate strategy

When Captain Harlock takes all the initiative, literally everyone gets a morale boost and he miraculously can change the course of events in his favor.

### Triple Pulsar Cannons

The main guns of the Arcadia are three cannon turret battery sets, two atop the main deck and one on the keel, each with three barrels able to individually change positions at an acute angle. The cannons fire beams of EM radiation that can take out entire fleets of ships and can release electric shocks as well.

### Pulse Missile Launcher

A Space Buster is equipped below the bridge, primarily used to intercept enemy fighters. The guns also fire harpoons for latching onto enemy ships while releasing a freezing gas from within the opposing ship to numb the enemy occupants. In addition, there are four additional Busters, one on each side of the superstructure as well as two Busters further down the main body. On either sides of the bridge, the guns can combine fire for assaults.

### Gravitational Wave Missile Launchers

On both sides of the hull near the Space Busters are at least three sets of ports used to release guided missiles that can also be used in water.

### Torpedo Tubes

Only present on the green design, dummy missiles that may be launched from the aforementioned panels on each side of the forecastle.

### Combat Transfer Anchor Tube

The Anchor Tube is used to penetrate the hulls of enemy ships for boarding raids with the crew engaging in battle inside for traditional combat. The ends of these tubes can be opened and closed, so users can board ships directly through them once launched. Sometimes multiple anchors may be released at once, and sometimes these tubes are equipped with drills.

* According to Harlock, boarding the enemy and fighting them in close-quarters is the "traditional pirate way".

### Anti-Aircraft Beam Turret

Small turrets are spread around the general area of the bridge to intercept small flying objects like fighter crafts, projectiles, or space debris. There are also a few small retractable anti-aircraft turrets at the keel of the ship.

### Knife Ram

Below the bow is a special retractable naval ram the *Arcadia* may use when engaging in close combat, even though the front skull combined with the flying mass of over 215,000 metric tonnes behind it is already a durable and effective weapon for impacting enemies at dangerously high speeds. When deployed and rotated out (presumably somehow from the intake vent underneath the forecastle), it reveals a giant ornately gilded jack knife-like weapon roughly the length of the ship's own forecastle that can pierce the hull and armour of opposing ships or buildings.

### Anti-Ship Depth Charge

Explosive charges can be released from the ship's stern to ward off enemies from behind.

### Dark Matter

That's thanks to Tochiro. The CG incarnation of *Arcadia* is capable of utilising the dark matter stored within to pull off feats that would normally be considered impossible or mildly breaking the laws of physics. Such examples include dissipating and reappearing in a mass of black smoke, avoiding point-blank range cannon fire, phasing through solid matter, cloaking/becoming invisible, deploying it as a shield to tank the force of a planet-destroying weapon, and limitless energy. It also can to capable of regenerating any damage it had sustained; this combined with the ship's natural durability has made it very hard to put down. This is one of the advantages of upgrated ship, which can regenerate even during combat and does not require urgent repairs inside the Autobots-Fortresses.
