The Xan'tos is an Ashderian dreadnought-class ship currently serving the Ashderian Regime under the First Fleet.

Description

The Xan'tos is a dreadnought class ship designed specifically to kill other large vessels. It's often used to dispatch oppressive firepower upon enemy forces in fleet scenarios, but is more than capable of one-on-one duels with other large capital ships. The vessel places a heavy emphasis on on-board weaponry, not having a traditional hangar and deployment facilities for fighters, bombers or small cruisers. The vessel holds the roll of back-up capital ship for the Aquilae.

Technical Data

The Xan'tos's emphasis on ship-killing has had it armed with enhanced Skreeon-cannons, various Firewasp-launcher emplacements, a higher-than-average numbers of torpedo rails, and massive internal magazines. Plans to arm the ship with heavy beam weaponry similar to the Aquilae's were entertained, but never came to fruition. The vessel is noticeably smaller than the Aquilae, but is still much larger than what is considered average for destroyers or dreadnoughts. The vessel isn't nearly as maneuverable as most Ashderian vessels, but possesses good acceleration and speed capabilities for a vessel of its size.
