Imperial V class Battle cruiser

History
This ship is the backbone ship of the Extra Galactic Empire (E.G.E.), just like the Imperial I and Ils were with the Galactic Empire of Darth Sidious.

Usage
This ship type is primarily used for direct offensives, and work perfectly alongside bigger dreadnoughts for fire and fighters support.

It is designed to take down multiple star destroyers, battle cruisers, and even small dreadnought, with its 8 automatic Anti-Matter canons, and its Heavy radium siege breaker canon. The axial super laser is powerful enough to one-shot planets. Many smaller turbo laser batteries and point defense canons are spread out around the ship to create a defensive or offensive screen.

The remarkable firepower and subsequently capacities of Imperial V class battle cruiser, is enough to make entire population of a system kneel before the ship's captain.

Armament
The main armament of the Imperial V are the axial super laser, the Heavy Radium canon, the 8 anti-matter canons, and the octuple turbolaser batteries. Even with only one ship, those are more than enough to keep any system stable, even though there are usually more than one Imperial V for 1 planet, depending on the location of the system ( if its is in enemy territory ), the dangerosity of the locals, and the importance of the planet ( ressources, politically/economically/militarily involved in the E.G.E. ...)

Smaller turbo lasers, point defense canons, tractor beam projectors, are here to provide support for the Imperial V when dealing with starfighters.

Mass shadow generator bubbles are also incorporated in the ship to prevent any enemy to flee away.

Fighters
The Imperial V class Battle cruiser can carry up to 840 T.I.E. automatic starfighters, which can be used either as a defensive screen, or an offensive tool.

Variants
As there are numerous classes of warships in the E.G.E., a single model in a class of star destroyer is not enough. A warship needs to be powerful, fast, overwhelming, and mostly, it needs to be versatile. However, the versatility of a class has its limits, which is why we created several models inside the already-existing warship classes.


 * Imperial V Mk 1 : The Imperial V Mk 1 class were the very first Imperial V warship in that served in the E.G.E. It was introduced in 601 ABY, although the design was created in 600 ABY. The Imperial V Mk 1 had for itself different variants, such as the Imperial V Mk 1s, Mk 1k, Mk 1h, and Mk 1kh.
 * Mk 1s was a model that was built more on speed and agility for the warship. This model was perfect for purchasing fleeing enemies.
 * The Mk 1k was the command ship variant, which had a personal shield generator for the bridge and more turbo lasers batteries placed near the bridge.
 * The Mk 1h had a bigger hangar, and could hold more T.I.E.s and transport vehicles.
 * Finally, the Mk 1kh was the command ship version of the Mk 1h, which means it had the advantages of both the Mk 1k and Mk 1h.


 * Imperial V Mk 2 :

The Imperial V Mk 2 came not long after the start of the First Great Expansion Era, in 616 ABY. Its main differences with the Mk 1 are the automation of support crew, and automation of turbo lasers batteries. There is also a higher amount of turbo laser batteries and laser canons. Its hangars are now suited to dock and refuel automatic T.I.E.s, which appeared in 614 ABY. As for the Mk 1, the Mk 2 has multiple variants such as the Mk 2s, Mk 2k, Mk 2ks, Mk 2h, and Mk 2kh.


 * 1) The Mk 2s is the fast and more maneuverable  version of the Mk 2.
 * 2) The Mk 2k is the command ship version, with extra-shielding and extra turbo laser batteries near the bridge.
 * 3) The Mk 2ks is the mix between the Mk 2s and the Mk 2k variants.
 * 4) The Mk 2h is a variant with a bigger hanger capacity.
 * 5) The Mk 2kh is the mix between the Mk 2h and the Mk 2k variants.


 * Imperial V Mk 3 :

The Imperial V Mk 3 have significant changes from the Mk 2, with the arrival of anti-matter technology ( anti-matter canons and anti-matter shields ), as well as with the arrival of exotic-matter technology to reduce the weight of warships. This model was introduced in 649 ABY. Like with the Mk 1 and Mk 2, the Mk 3 has several variants of its own like the Mk 3s, Mk3k, Mk 3ks, Mk3 h, Mk 3kh, Mk 3l, and Mk 3kl.
 * 1) The Mk 3s is the fast and more maneuverable  version of the Mk 3.
 * 2) The Mk 3k is the command ship version, with extra-shielding and extra turbo laser batteries near the bridge.
 * 3) The Mk 3ks is the mix between the Mk 3s and the Mk 3k variants.
 * 4) The Mk 3h is a variant with a bigger hanger capacity.
 * 5) The Mk 3kh is the mix between the Mk 3h and the Mk 3k variants.
 * 6) The Mk 3l is the light version of the Mk 3, which means the number of turbolaser batteries has significantly decreased. This variant is mostly used for patrolling friendly territory.
 * 7) The Mk 3kl is the mix between the Mk 3l and Mk 3k variants.


 * Imperial V Mk 4 :

The Imperial V Mk 4 has its reactor core and energy cells replaced by a more powerful variant of them, using what is called Hypron-matter instead of Ultra-matter. Hypron-matter is a type of matter state that is more energetic than Hyper-matter and Ultra-matter, but far more stable at the same time. The energy inputs onboard Mk 4 is 14 times bigger than on an Mk 3. This results in more powerful turbo laser batteries, a more powerful axial superlaser ...

The Mk 4 also incorporated a 'new' type of weapon. Its original design is quite primitive, but it becomes effective when we add up the necessary amount of energy. It is called the LoKerL (Long-range Kermion Laser ) (also nicknamed 'lock'). It is basically a super-high-powered laser, but that uses Kermion particules, that are as fast as 543 times the speed of photon-light. This weapon would be use to hit target at extreme range with extreme precision. This model was first introduced in 677 ABY.

The Imperial V Mk 4 Battle cruisers also comes with variants :


 * 1) The Mk 4s is the fast and more maneuverable version of the Mk 4.
 * 2) The Mk 4k is the command ship version, with extra-shielding and extra turbo laser batteries near the bridge.
 * 3) The Mk 4ks is the mix between the Mk 4s and the Mk 4k variants.
 * 4) The Mk 4h is a variant with a bigger hanger capacity.
 * 5) The Mk 4kh is the mix between the Mk 4h and the Mk 4k variants.


 * Imperial V Mk 5

The Imperial V Mk5 comes with some improvement concerning the anti-matter canons and anti-matter shields. The traditional anti-matter is being replaced by anti-super-matter, which is simply more energetic and more super-charged than normal anti-matter.

An external layer is added to the outer hull. It is made of what we call quantum-self-regenerating hull armor. It works the same as for living tissue instant-regeneration, which is with trillions of nano-bots that are all synchronized and works as one entity. Every nano-bot have different purposes. Some of them will create the necessary atoms and molecules and others will shape those atoms into the hull. This technology fixed all the Imperial V's weak-points concerning the outer structure, like the shields generator domes, or the bridge section ( it is still far less exposed than with its late predecessor, the Imperial I and II. The bridge section is more like into the central structure). This model was introduced in 684 ABY.

There exist different variants of the Imperial V Mk 5 :


 * 1) The Mk 5s is the fast and more maneuverable version of the Mk 5.
 * 2) The Mk 5k is the command ship version, with extra-shielding and extra turbo laser batteries near the bridge.
 * 3) The Mk 5ks is the mix between the Mk 5s and the Mk 5k variants.
 * 4) The Mk 5h is a variant with a bigger hanger capacity.
 * 5) The Mk 5kh is the mix between the Mk 5h and the Mk 5k variants.
