[[b]NEW SHIP REPORT[/b]] The [b]Emperor[/b] class battleship. One of these brought the rogues to near-extinction. The Emperor-class Battleship is a slow and ponderous vessel that serves as one of the mainstay capital ships of the Imperial Navy. The Emperor-class dispenses with the normal armoured prow and instead carries a mass of sensor probes and forward turrets. The Emperor-class also may carry eight squadrons of Shark assault boats or other common Imperial Attack Craft, which serve as its primary offensive punch. The main armament of the Emperor-class is made up of its 8 squadrons of Shark Assault Boats or other common Imperial Navy Attack Craft. These are able to roam far from the Battleship and engage enemy capital ships that would otherwise be out of range of the Battleship's main batteries.
