| Description and Notes |
|
|
| Fleet Data: The
first real airship to test the Reaction Chamber Core, the Norcon class
was far more expensive than anticipated, but possesses amazing stamina.
A long and slender craft, resembling a fine edged blade, the Norcon
class doesn't look overly impressive from the outside, but the specs
show the airship is capable of amazing things. The longest airship of
it's time, just barely edging out the Valcour class by 95 feet, the
Norcon was built in 715 AD, equipped with the powerful Reaction Chamber
Core. The ship has more available power than it knows what to do with,
allowing it to stay in a fight far longer than any other airship in the
Damocles Fleet or in opposing Fleets. Also with a small modification to
a Pulse Cannon, it can act as an emergency Refueling Airship. Some
Norcons are even given Refueling duty, when no suitable refueling craft
is in range.
To aid her obvious holes in point
defense, the Norcon was given a compliment of five Mark 1 Wasp Fighter
crafts, which can be deployed in an emergency to help the craft defend
against aggressors. Overconfidence in the Reaction Chamber Core had the
Battlecruiser equipped with no Emergency or Auxiliary Power sources, a
mistake which was fixed in the Explorer class variant.
With a full compliment of torpedoes, and
a bomb bay, the Norcon battlecruiser was placed on everything from
combat duty to bombing runs, with it's Wasps flying ahead as cover. The
Norcon was lacking in science gear, internal security, and was so
overloaded her speed was knocked down by nearly 30%. While her Pulse
Cannons are a weak type, so many of them exist to insure they all hit
their target, and draw so little power that the Norcon can unless 10
full salvos of all weapons before needing to be concerned with power.
Also the regenerating feature of the Reaction Chamber Core itself
insures this airship will remain long in the fight where others would
exhaust their power supplies and have to retreat. The Norcon enjoyed a
successful run, with several of the craft being built. The Damocles
Empire put in orders for well over 175 of these airships, and while no
more battlecruisers are currently being built, an upgraded battlecruiser
variant is being planned as the Norcon 722 Battleship Variant.
In 717 AD, construction of the
Battlecruisers was halted, but they remained in service as the Damocles
Fleet switched focus from the Battlecruiser variant to the Explorer
variant. The Norcon had her most fame in brief skirmishes with the
Shadow Knights as well as the Krarthian Union, facing down several
Krarthian and Shadow Knight airships however the Norcon has not had a
real chance to be tested against the Verax.
