STRENGTHS

• Air Indomitus - The Eye of Helvede is first and foremost a Command Carrier. As a Battlecruiser sized vessel it carries an impressive arsenal but none more so than its ability to field fifty (50) full squadrons. Squadrons are divided between the three hangar bays ensuring that if one is ever damaged that two others will be able to launch. The number of squadrons alone is able to overwhelm smaller capital ships if one considers the amount of bombers that can be fielded.
• An impervious hide - Thick Quadium Steel plating covers the entirety of the Command Carrier and doubles as the first layer of reactive armor reinforced with carbon-durasteel tubing underneath allowing it to 'bounce' fire from even mass driver sized firepower. Layers of roxodium and kiirium coating work in tandem with cap drains to absorb or redirect laser and ion cannon fire. Ontop of this it has standard shields for a ship of its size to further compliment its defenses.
• A large arsenal - While its primary purpose is as a Command Carrier its sheer size ensures it also has a massive arsenal of firepower which is fully capable of overwhelming smaller vessels. Electromagnetic Pulse Cannons of Umbaran origin help the ship to pack an extra punch and harness more destructive power.

WEAKNESSES

• Slow and Cumbersome - A Vessel of enormous size it is neither maneuverable nor swift. Outpacing the Eye of Helvede is not a daunting task which is why it relies on its fighter squadrons to harry most enemy ships attempting to escape it.
• Outgunned Equivalents - Its arsenal of firepower may allow it to trade punches with smaller vessels but against a Battlecruiser dedicated to the role the Eye of Helvede is outmatched in terms of raw firepower. In these cases it needs to rely on its squadrons to help tilt the battle in its favor.
• Weak Spot - Its engines are large and obvious and easy to target. Vessels that outmaneuver the Eye of Helvede and are capable of doing sufficient damage to them can transform a slow and cumbersome ship into one that is even slower and more cumbersome. In such a case the Command Carrier becomes easy to outflank becoming a victim of its own bulk even for similarly large vessels.

DESCRIPTION

Before Empress Liraeth Deschart was deposed by Exarch Karl Von Strauss she afforded her Hand a large amount of resources. In secret Barragh Nenn used these resources to create a Command Carrier for his personal use and in his role as her Agent and Advisor. When the Empress was deposed and the Imperial Ruling Council took control of the Imperial Confederation the Command Carrier remained off the books. Not even those with the highest access were aware of its construction, the Empress either trusting her Hand more than the ruling Imperials and influenced by the Umbarans particular abilities would never breath a word of it.​

​

It was not until the collapse of the Imperial Confederation and its withdrawal to its 'Fortress Worlds' that the Eye of Helvede was completed. As the Confederation withdrew Barragh took command of the vessel with Officers and crew members that were loyal to the former Empress and sympathetic to her.​

​

The Eye of Helvede is a massive battlecrusier sized Command Carrier capable of bringing worlds into compliance by itself. A Hull of reinforced durasteel was laid down and plated with thick quadanium steel that ensured even the heaviest barrages couldn't penetrate its defenses. The Command Carrier is a matte black in color, its armor plating covered in layers of reflective coatings that aid in its defense while giving it the visual appearance of blending with the blackness of space.​
