Xalarxa - Class Battleship
A large battleship of the Xalarin Council.
The Xalarxa is intended to sport a huge number of very powerful weapons used for long range fire support. Due to this role, it is not very well armoured so the XC never deploys it without escorts. However, the ship is incredibly fast for its size, a large amount of the rear being dedicated to the engine. It does not serve an ewar role effectively as so many of its systems are already dedicated to the plasma cannons. The ship is defended with a single large, but advanced shield generator as well as thin but advanced armour.
Power Generation
The primary powerplant is a large, advanced Nullification Generator. In case that fails,
it can be powered by a large and very advanced backup fusion reactor. These can fuse hydrogen very efficiently, so its byproduct is oxygen. This can provide the ship with a lot of energy. Its drive is a large, powerful antimatter annihilation drive, not as powerful as HF reactors but still capable of releasing a lot of energy to propel the ship at high acceleration. This is perhaps the most advanced and expensive part of the ship.

Weapons & Armament
The ship is armed with 12 high velocity plasma cannons that are designed to cause heavy damage to enemy shield. It is also armed with 2 more similar plasma cannons that are instead designed to penetrate armour and melt the inside of an enemy ship, but that role is sometimes left for other ships in the fleet. A xalarxa is also fitted with a number of laser CIWS weapons, which target incoming missiles as a hardkill method.
