The [[Kishkii class Battleship]] is a unique heavy [[warship]].
* It is a [[military ship]] and a [[Battleship]].
* It is a unique named ship of its class.
 
== Description (Specifications) ==
The ''Kishkii'' was a ''Smelchak'' class [[Battleship]] that was constructed for the [[Imperial Navy]]. It carried almost a battalion of marines, all equipped with assault drop capsules. The flight section included two cutters and two ship's boats. A single squadron of ten heavy 50-[[Ton]] fighters was carried for overwatch and CAS. There was a [[frozen watch]] to replace crew losses.

=== Basic Ship Characteristics ===
Following the [[Imperial Navy]] and [[IISS]] [[Universal Ship Profile]] and data, additional information is presented in the format shown here. The [[small craft]] factor indicates the number of squadrons (of ten craft) carried on the ship. Tonnage on the universal ship profile is shown in kilotons (thousands of tons) where necessary. {{Page cite|name= Fighting Ships |page= 10 |version= Classic Traveller}}

== History & Background (Dossier) ==
The ''Kishkii'' was was a 200,000 ton ''[[Smelchak Class Battleship|Smelchak]]'' class [[Battleship]] that served throughout the [[Rebellion]]. It was infected by [[Virus]] and became a "[[Vampire Fleets|Vampire]]" vessel. The transponder unit and the backup Model 9fib [[computer]] provided the initial access point for the [[virus]] strain that infected the ship. The crew was systematically killed and the [[frozen watch]] was surgically altered while they "slept." They awoke as servants of a new AI master.
