Whispered Edict

            Built for SHIPtember 2023

Retrofitted from a commandeered fuel-guild supertanker for commission into the Alliance Fleet, the Edict was stripped down nearly to its core and fitted with an immense antimatter cannon along its central spine.  This massive weapon is capable of single-handedly decimating entire enemy capital fleets in moments.  The addition of the cannon required extreme modification to the ship's midsection, as evidenced by the myriad mechanical components still visible beneath the bridge superstructure.  Additional armor may become necessary to protect this section during continued service, but in order to make her mission-capable as soon as possible, it was omitted temporarily.  The massive fuel tanks located behind the ship's plating were left in place and are now used to fulfill the intensive power requirements of the superweapon and to contain its antimatter payload in magnetic suspension. 
 
Other additions included upgraded armor plating and a heavy armament package bolted directly the external hull wherever possible.  
This retrofit created a supremely intimidating dreadnought-class offensive platform. However, even in the vastness of space this presents a large and opportune target.  Because of this, it typically operates with the support of a battle group composed of fighter carriers, battleships, destroyers and various support ships.

~I wanted to go big to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the building challenge that firmly cemented the end of my dark ages, so this is the largest, most intensive ship I have built. I also spent most of August completing the fleet described above, with the intention of uploading a ship every few days, culminating with this one at the end of September.  However this SHIP alone took nearly every bit of free time I had in September and this quickly became impossible. I also ended up changing the color scheme slightly and now the rest of the fleet doesn't match.  My new plan is to update the color blocking on the rest of the fleet and upload them individually throughout October and try to do a composite with the entire fleet as soon as possible.  Here's to hoping...
