The Blake class Heavy Cruiser is a warship.
- It is a military ship and a Cruiser.
Description (Specifications)
The ship has scoops and purification and its partially streamlined close configuration hull is unarmored. This allows for gas giant refueling. The ships 5 G acceleration, and 4 agility helps keep it out of danger. The ship is capable of jump 4, to keep up with imperial fleets. It carries ten missile bays, ten batteries of fusion guns, eight particle accelerator bays, ten batteries of triple beam laser turrets, ten repulsor bays and ten batteries of triple sand caster turrets. What is shocking, on a design this size, is the very powerful, best available, dreadnought class meson gun. This design also has a pair of 20 ton Gigs to help recovery the marine company. To deal with critical hits from its stunning lack of hull armor, it carries a replacement model 9 fib computer, and an extra nuclear damper and meson screen.

History & Background (Dossier)
The Blake class Heavy Cruiser sees service in Fleets across the Domain of Sylea and beyond. The Blake class was designed to be produced in shipyards across the Domain and was intended for general Imperial service. It bore no particular cultural or political influences within its architecture.
However, the influential former [Duke]] of Oreo Subsector, a direct descendant of the aristocratic Halls families and an enthusiastic student of naval architecture, exercised his remit as mandated under the terms of the "Oreo Settlement": he demanded that any vessels that were to serve with the 146th, his "personal Fleet", must be locally designed and manufactured. The privilege had been granted by Cleon I himself and the Duke insisted that it must be honored.
This was simply not possible – the 146th was an Imperial fleet, despite what the Duke chose to believe, and had to be able to serve the needs of the Imperium wherever required. Locally produced designs simply could not meet such demanding criteria. The intransigence of the Duke eventually resulted in a compromise – all vessels of the Blake class, no matter where they served, were to carry five Alfred class Gunboats, the personal design of the Duke himself. The current Duke has maintained his father's policy and many classes of warship operating within the Domain carry at least one Alfred.
