The Urbanus-class was constructed at the Prime Minister’s secret ship yards and was meant to be the next generation capital ship. It utilizes a lot of next generation technology like the Silvana, and emphasizes close quarters combat which is shown by it’s dual cutters and ramming horns. Because of this, their cannons are not designed for long range combat. To make up for the long range deficiency, torpedos are used (similar to what the Silvana uses to destroy the Goliath).
When it comes to the engine, Guild units are not used. Two units are used and their designs are based off a vanships unit (They are basically gigantic vanship units). One unit is for lift (similar to the claudia units) and the other is for thrust (uses steam).
Only six of these ships were built. Four of them were sunk in the Dragon’s Fangs by the Silvana, the fifth was destroyed by Exile while defending the Silvana and Sophia, and the last (known as the Urbanus and captained by Vincent) was dragged down and badly damaged by Exile. |
