With the introduction of the Foch class superdreadnought in 2181, the NSL high command began a study into the feasibility of a new class of dreadnought to suplement and eventually replace the Von Tegethoff's. The massive size of the FSE warships being an insult to the High Command's Teutonic pride, an unofficial stipulation was made that the new vessels must equal or surpass the Foch in mass. Encounters with the Kra'Vak from 2183 onwards caused some changes in the design, but by 2188 the first of the class was laid down at the Neu Salzburg yards.

The ships follow standard NSL design doctrine in carrying no screens, but they mount a significant amount of armor over an incredibly strong hull. Additionally, these vessels are among the first NSL warships to feature the Schwerpunkt internal compartmentalization system, which features enhanced bulkheads and fire suppression systems to protect vital systems and keep the ship in the fight longer. These improvements, coupled with strong active defenses, a powerful beam armament, and a pair of fighter groups ensure that the (Insert Class Name here) will be able to hold it's own against the best any alien or human fleet can offer.

I can whip up some nice white numbers to go along with the flags, and
custom names if you like. :D
