Description: The Hawkhaven Class Battlecarrier is the largest, as well as the captial, army personnel transport ship crafted by the Accipterons. It was normally going to be made as a high-speed carrier, but in it's intial testing runs, it had too little protection in actual combat. So, Accipteron engineers reduced its speed and added more weapons, thus making it the first Hawkhaven Class Battlecarrier. The Phoenix's Pyre, an experimental version of the battlecarrier with even more weaponry at the expense of extra speed and armor, was issued to the Phoenix Knight Special Forces, which now currently under the command of Captain Aquilius Talonheart. Besides being equipped with more guns, the Pyre is armed with a weapon called the Immolator Cannon. The Immolator uses a great deal of energy due to its destructive power. Therefore, most electronic functions cease on the ship, except for the necessary life support system and the system that powers the cannon. When fired, the Immolator Cannon generates a form of destructive energy (the beam is capable of engulfing a 5 fighter flight group with plenty of room to spare) created by fusing photon and plasma energy. On impact, it will vaporize lightly armored targets, such as meks or skimmers, and cause substantial damage to targets that are more heavily armored, such as warships.
P.S.: Any information with an "*" before it refers to the A.S.F. Phoenix's Pyre.
