Marlin-class

Long, thin, its bow pointing in an evocative ‘v-shape’, as if to break the tides of the astral ocean. Six slanted openings scar the bow of the ship, hiding torpedo and missile tubes. The ship thins out, appearing much like the kind of warship common in the 21st century, until you reach the end. Four large thrusters tightly held together mark its use for space, and a shortened bridge along with extra gun-turrets along its sides and underside meant that it was a danger in zero-G combat.

While not the first ESU battle ready battleship, the Marlin-class is one of the first to be able to traverse between atmosphere and zero-G. Fitted with four rows of twin-barreled guns, and two rows of triple barreled, the Marlin-class packs a big punch for the ESU fleet- though when compared to the newly fielded Tetra-class, their range is somewhat lacking. They help provide medium range defensive cover for Whaleshark-classes and long-range ships, who don’t fare as well in medium to close range.
