Name: The Dreadnought The Defiant
Owner: Sephiroth
Crew: None as of yet so just some imperial starfighter pilots
Effect: Dimensional travel- The Defiant has a transdimensional drive that rips a whole in space allowing the ship to move faster than light speed. The ship is also equipped with a dampening shield that slows projectiles and forces them off course. This is uneffective against energy weapons and mass drivers. MAC guns have to much force to be stopped by the dampening field.
Description: The defiant is not like a normal dreadnought class airship.It is all black except for the bristling weapons systems. The dreadnought class is usually bulky and slow but bristling with firepower. The dreadnought is thinner only containing six decks. It is also long and sleek. Its translight drives make the Defiant faster than even a cruiser class airship. The only thing that the Defiant has in common with it's class members is the length and weapons systems. The defiant is half a mile long made of a stealth material stronger than titanium and carries six echo class single ships and an extensive arsenal. Basically anything the Defiant can't fight it can run away from. Though it has speed it doesn't have much maneuverability except in a straight line. The ship also currently runs with a small crew make defense harder.
Weapons: The defiant is equipped with enough weaponry to hold off a small armada. It has twelve lateral short range laser batteries for ship to ship combat(six on each side). It carries six echo class single ship fighters(only two pilots are onboard with clearnace to fly these). The Defiant is also equipped with a fore and aft magnetic accelerator cannons or MAC guns(only three rounds for these). There are four ION disrupter cannons on the belly of the ship and two on the top(currently inopperable). Located around the ship in hidden compartments are six ARC class missile batteries that carry twenty missiles a piece(these are currently empty). Last but not least the ship has been outfitted to carry four Nova class terror nukes(Unnavailable due to cost).
History: The Defiant was a secret military project in Midgar. Though origionally outfitted with all of it's armnament, only the rechargeable weapons were not depleted when Sephiroth stole the ship. To make it harder to trace, the crew has been making repairs and buying new armnament slowly to avoid detection. The ships hull is made of a stealth material stronger than titanium that hides the ship from detection. When he stole the ship, Sephiroth piloted it himself after killing the crew. He fought his way out of the shin-ra base sustaining heavy damage. Over time he hired a crew to make repairs and refit the ship. It is now flyable but the kinetic weapons have yet to be replenished due to lack of resources. The Defiant is still sixty eight percent battle effective without the full arms. Sephiroth makes short work of stealing what he needs to refit the Defiant by holding up smaller ships at gunpoint. After which he destroys the vessels.
