Description: The Deluge-class is the spiritual embodiment of Primeval efforts. The standard assault ship of their fleet, this truculent juggernaut cavalcades its way through the hulls of other warships using specially made ramrod protruding from the bow. With its abnormally thick plating -- especially along the ramrod -- the warship is capable of withstanding the brutal force caused by ramming into another vessel, even many of larger sizes.
At the cost of its ramming ability, the craft sports a paper-thin armament consisting of only twenty-six capital guns, much less than the forty plus a traditional assault frigate has. The incredible thickness of its armour also means that this lethargic behemoth can only hold a relatively small crew and very minimal passengers; let alone cargo. Per this the vessel is quickly deprived of consumables and requires resupplying on long campaigns; limiting the ships strategic function to skirmishes when without support ships.
In conclusion, the result of this starship is a fearsome and robust frigate which serves as the forefront of any Primeval assault.
