PARASOL CLASS
SECOND RATE SHIP OF THE LINE
FORSYTHIA SHIPBUILDING CORPORATION
The mighty hammer of the Commonwealth Navy and one of the largest ships produced since the fall of the Calliope Republic, the Parasol is the definition of a flagship. 350 meters long, 125 wide and tall, it is the host of many technologies new to the sectional chart. Examples include the Mabel Systems ‘Sunshade’ Lorentz Force Accelerators providing thrust in all 6 directions, and new Helical Coilguns. There are five Parasol Second Rates in existence, with a sixth one ordered for 128 PCE.

Armor
Total Size - 6 meters
Materials - Titanium Carbide Ceramic, Aramid Fiber, PBO Fiber, Cooper, Graphite Aerogel, Vanadium-Chromium Steel, Boron Filament
Layer One - Anti-Flash - 30cm - Titanium Carbide Ceramic
The anti-flash armor is designed to bear the immediate brunt of a nuclear blast and heat. The titanium carbide ceramics used are made in a diamond pattern that look similar to the ship’s Active Electronic Scan Array radar panels, to prevent their immediate targeting. Radiators, radar panels, and other weapon systems sit on top of the anti-flash layer, covered by a PBO spall liner.
Layer Two - Anti-Laser - 1.3m - Aramid Fiber
Placed between the anti-flash and first spall Liner, the Anti-Laser Armor is designed to stop laser weapons via placing Aramid Fiber, a high heat resistant material in the way that’s directly connected to multiple smaller radiators, dissipating and leading to less effective damage.
Layer Three - Spall Liner One - 20cm PBO fiber
The first spall liner is made of PBO fiber and is there to catch chipped pieces of anti-flash and ant-laser armor or canister-type munitions from damaging the stuffed whipple shield.
Layer Four - Stuffed Whipple Shield - 3m - Copper, Graphite Aerogel
The stuffed whipple shield is offset from the first Spall Liner and Bulk Armor by 25cm each. The stuffed whipple shield itself is a mix of 5cm copper plates and 5cm graphite aerogel (totaling 55 layers of copper and graphite aerogel.)
Layer Five - Bulk Armor - 1m - Vanadium-Chromium Steel, Boron Filament
The bulk armor is made of 5cm panels of vanadium-chromium steel and boron filament. It is designed to prevent kinetic penetration of a vessel by spreading the force of impact across a shock resistant alloy (VCS) and vibration resistant filament (BF).
Layer Six - Spall Liner Two - 20cm - PBO Fiber
The second spall liner is offset from the actual hull of the ship and the bulk armor by 5cm. This spall liner is there to catch spall and other hazardous items from penetrating the vessel’s hull.
Weapons
subcategory - Kinetic
40x 105mm Coilguns
The light 105’s are a class of light coilguns designed for brawling and point work on sloop or frigate threats so that larger guns can task onto large threats. These coilguns also fire grapeshot canister rounds.
AP, HE, Grapeshot Canister
Tracer - Purple (Beryllium)
20x 250mm Helical Coilguns
The Mk128 ‘Catalyst’ is a medium to long range Helical Coilgun. It is the younger cousin to the Showstopper and is able to fire with much more precision to snipe critical components, whereas a Showstopper would blow a sloop away.
AP, HE, HE-RPF
Tracer - Blue (Iridium)
10x Mk129 500mm ‘Showstopper’ Railgun
The Mk129 ‘Showstopper’ or ‘Long Fifty’* is a long range railgun designed for engagement in the light-second environment. The Mk129 is capable of accelerating a 4 metric ton projectile to speeds in excess of 100km/s, able to cross a light-second in just under thirty seconds. The Mk129 is capable of firing an AP, APHE, and HE-RPF rounds, each capable of severe destruction if it hits.
*Long Fifty as in 50cm
AP, APHE, HE-RPF
Tracer - Red (Magnesium)
256x Quick Launching Systems (QLS) Cells
The descendant of the famed Vertical Launch Systems in wet navies, the QLS is a cell-based missile launching system, only being able to replenish via a logistics ship or at a harbor. The primary advantage to QLS is the on demand launch of missiles, while an MDS requires time to load missiles. The main disadvantage is that it requires much more space than an MDS.
subcategory - Electronic
2x DEW (IR) Lasers
These lasers are fed much less power than a DEW spinal, and are generally better at intercepting than they are fighting. They are more precise, and a WSO with a good eye can easily use them to snipe enemy radiators.
Countermeasures
subcategory - Kinetic
10x Chaff/Flare Dispensers
These dispensers deploy high yield aluminum that create large radar returns that seduce active radar seekers. They also deploy flares that create high candela returns (in the millions) to seduce thermal/heat seeking missiles.
20x 35mm Chainguns
The Dual Purpose Common 35mm Chaingun is a fast, inelegant choice. They chew through unprotected ships, but are essentially useless against warship grade armor.
AP, HE-RPF
subcategory - Electronic
Radar Illuminator (Anti-Jam)
This piece of technology serves two very important purpose; self illumination of chaff, and increasing the range (and success) of a burnthrough sweep. The first aspect allows the ship to create a false semi-active homing track (via chaff) for semi-active radar seeking missiles to fly into. The second aspect gives the ships radar a chance to locate a jamming ship by exponentially increasing the radar return to the point of potentially nullifying a jammers effectiveness.
subcategory - Other (Cyber, Information)
CIPS-88 Anti-Intrusion Software
CIPS-88 AIS is a tigthbeam protector meant to stop unauthorized access from a virus, and has the ability to automatically render safe fuel systems if it believes a hostile hardware has overridden the navigational control system.
