Eternity - Class Subterrene

A large, crewed subterrene as used by the Hyperion Federation.   The Eternity - Class is armed with large sonic cannons able to target ground based threats. It can detect enemy subterrenes using a highly powerful active sonar device designed to send sound waves through solid rock. It can also fire guided subterranean torpedoes at surface targets or subterranean targets.   Powered by an Antimatter annihilation core, It is propelled by a large drill on the front and continually pushed downwards by a powerul photon thruster. Like all subterrenes it is slow, but can move.   To achieve a very deep crush depth of 30 km, it is very well armoured with TGX Composite and the drill motor has a huge torque because its coils have thousands of windings and powered by a several megavolt 3 phase energy source.   It serves an underground artillery role, continually striking surface forces with sonic cannons from much deeper than can be reasonably engaged.   The Eternity - class is large for a subterrene. It spans to a length of about 600 m which makes it easily detected even from large distance at large depths. Due to its photon thrusters melting rock behind the vehicle, it also has a massive heat signature especially when moving and it may create magma. This massive temperature is used to melt rock around it, making it slightly weaker as it converts into magma. This makes it easier to drill. When offline, its underground nature can be used to make it cool down rapidly, as ground is conductive to heat. Due to this large heat signature, the HF miltary will often escort the Eternity class and ensure it is not destroyed easily, particularly against large enemy subterranean torpedoes.As a method of backup power generation, the Eternity - class has no ZPE, but instead has a Planck-Dismantlement Beam located at the front. This can both power the warship and reduce the ground friction further which also allows it to navigate more easily.
