Glaive-class Battleship ([Glayve])

The Glaive-class is the Feather Corps' modern battleship design. Originally created as the flagship of the Typhoon Legion's fleet, a second vessel was manufactured and sent to the Magma Guard on Mars as a demonstration of power to the Jovian Assembly.
While larger-scale naval vessels are rare with the increasing dependency of Battle Suits, the Corps wanted a ship that could bring a devastating amount of firepower to a battlespace while maintaining its personal compliment of Battle Suits. Nonetheless, a Glaive-class will never travel or engage in a conflict without a proper support fleet. A Glaive formation will generally consist of itself, one Humpback-class carrier, and three Starcutter-class cruisers.
