Event horizon class battleship





Description
The event horizon class were designed as doomsday weapons, with the ability to outmatch almost any ship in existence. They are absolutely massive, with the ability to repel any type of ship, and outrun any. It has over 50 guns, and it has an absolute top speed of 20 knots and 15 knots into the wind. It can combat ships such as the Sylene-Class Frigates, the Storm-Class Frigate, the Sterling-Class Fleet Auxiliary and the Aezenfjord-Class Corvette-Escort with ease. Although it has not been built, one is planned. The downsides to these ships are their large compliment, housing over 55 crew members and their weakness to being boarded and mined. It is a relatively simple ship, without the usual complicated rigging. In the image on the right, The first sail shows the naval flag of astrova and the second shows the black hole flag. These ships are the pinnacle of navy tech, and are some of the most powerful tools of the Astrovan empire.

Lore
The battleship only exists in prototype form but it is still a potent weapon. If built, it would require immense resources, but it would also have the advantage of being a terror weapon, like the battleship Tirpitz and Bismarck (while actually being effective, unlike those battleships). The battleships were originally named the supernova class, but the name was changed to "event horizon" since it is a reference to the part of a black hole where you can't escape, and once you are past it, you are destroyed. This ship was built around it's name, since it carries 50 guns and has a top speed of 20 knots.
