Description/Overview:
The Lurveth Throm Type-17989 was the main space battleship of the Prodono Consortium and the early 1st Prodono Republic Space Forces from its inception in 1.7989 GS (320,110 BC Earth Relative). This ship was downgraded to cruiser status when newer battleships of a more type were introduced sometime around 2.0768 GS (292,320 BC Earth Relative). Prior to this downgrade, the Lurveth Throm was a formidable warship in its day. With a wide array of fixed energy weapons and mobile weapon systems, the Lurveth Throm was able to act equally well as a command ship for small task forces or as a main fighting vessel within an armada. The Lurveth Throm fought in numerous wars and conflicts throughout the foundation of the 1st Prodono Republic and distinguished itself from most of the other battleships of the pre-Republic era. It was for this reason that the Lurveth Throm class was carried over into service with the 1st Prodono Republic forces.
The Type-17989 used five Obuch-Ron Type-20958-265,000 265,000-megawatt fusion reactors. These reactors were spread over the ship in three groups. One reactor was situated at the bow of the vessel and used to power all of the systems of the ship except for the photon particle drives. The other four were used to power the PPDS. Two of these fusion reactors were situated at the port-aft of the ship just in front of the portside photon particle drive. The other two fusion reactors were positioned on the starboard side of the warship just to the front of the starboard PPD. This arrangement was considered more desirable than having only one reactor power the entire ship because it allowed the vessel to continue to operate even if one or more of the reactors were either damaged or destroyed.
The faster-than-light drive of the Lurveth Throm was one Z’Katan-Feul ZF-1.9987-25000 Hyperspace Fold Flight System. This drive system was capable of moving the ship through hyperspace at the equivalent of 10 light-years per hour in real space. The hyperspace fold flight system was already standard issue for space battleships in the Prodono Consortium when the keel of the Lurveth Throm class was first laid down and thus many of these craft had drives
that were well beyond their operational time frames when the fleet was found at Alpha Centauri by the UNSC.
The primary sublight engines of the warship were its pair of H’Taka-Feul HF-1.9983-500,000 photon particle drives. These energy-hungry drives each consumed 500,000 megawatts of power. This enormous power requirement was considered worth the speed of .20C (20% light-speed) that each drive produced (.40C total). At forty percent the speed of light, this craft was able to travel throughout a Solar System easily and thus allowed the ship to dominate most star-systems it entered in terms of endurance and travel times even thousands of years after this ship was introduced.
The Luverth Throm was fitted with four Gruel-Khan GK-1.9879-25,000 fusion thruster emergency/combat speed engines. Each of these was able to propel the ship at 76,000 mph. Combined, the engines could propel the vessel at up to 304,000 mph total. This speed was more than adequate to maneuver the warship within a fleet, around a planet/planetoid, and within the atmosphere of a planet.
The weapon systems of the Luverth Throm consisted of twenty space torpedo launchers, heavy laser cannons turrets, PHELAC broadside cannons, and its maw-gun, which was an EMPAC. This armament was completely replaced after the foundation of the 1st Prodono Republic as part of their fleet-wide rearmament and upgrade program sometime around 2.0000 GS (300,000 BC).
The space torpedo launchers were completely removed, as missile weapons were considered obsolete at that time.
Eight Xergin-Tah Type-XT-20960 triple ion blaster cannon turrets replaced the eight triple laser cannon turrets of the Luverth Throm. These new turrets lacked the range of the laser cannons but had far greater effect on energy-resistant armor, which had become the mainstay of most alien spacenavies of the 2.0000-2.5000 GS period.
The ten broadside-mounted PHELAC cannon batteries were replaced with ten Urgoh-Tah Type-UT-20691 disruptor cannon batteries. Again, the designers of the upgrade project chose to sacrifice range for a much more powerful weapon system that had greater affect against spacecraft equipped with energy-resistant armor.
The main heavy weapon system of the Luverth Throm was one Pa’Zhin Mogul-Tah Type-PZMT-19879 particle accelerator cannon. This weapon had a much greater range than the turrets of the vessel and a greater rate of fire, but consumed far more power and space than the smaller weapon systems. This particle cannon was intended for use against capital ships and large installations like battlefactories, and was an upgrade of the EMPAC weapon that was originally mounted on this vessel.
This mainline battleship carried an impressive array of mobile weapons including four K’hor Kai class dropships that were fully loaded with Nymar and Jould type AGARs for planetary assault operations. The ship also held 100 Hai-Richon type battlesuits and sixty Quoren Ha’Jan type spacefighters. This complement was similar to that of the much smaller Quev-Leah class destroyer that was introduced much later to help extend the life of ships like the Luverth Throm.
This mainline battleship was the basis for the first large-scale battlecarrier built by the Neo-Hebrews of Saturn during the 2080s and 90s.
