Hypertriton - Class Battleship

A battleship as used by the Hyperion Federation that packs an obscene amount of firepower. With no less than 60 High Energy Turret Hardpoint, it can rain down devastating firepower on any foe. 40 of those are typically used for Annihilator Plasma Cannons, making it much more favorable to use against enemy capital ships.
Additionally it also sports a massively downscaled Synchrotron, a planet cracking superweapon.
Like many batleships, the Hypertriton - class is very heavily armoured which makes it slow but when an escorting force is present it can be overwhelmingly difficult to destroy, especially when it is also shooting its own targets which are likely to be anything threatening the battleship. Many weapons designed to counter heavy ships like a battleship can be hindered by escorting ships. This makes it quite nessessary to deploy a balanced force against it as it becomes more likely that they could have a counter for any craft the HF deploys. The Hypertriton was developed shortly before the Suon-Saelian War as a very heavy breakthrough ship. It has seen many revisions since then and although it now appears very different from its original form, they are both labelled as Hypertriton - classes. It has never been totally reworked, only modified a large number of times over time. It still serves a similar role. Although quite large, the Hypertriton is not fitted with an IGWD. In fact, these are some of the largest ships in service that are not equipped with IGWDs, because it cannot produce enough energy to store a large number of particles of Hypermatter, or use them in a way that the IGWD does. As such, Hypertritons are mainly seen escorting larger ships that are equipped with IGWDs, like the Hyperion - Class Worldship Carrier, or in the same fleet as one and deployed ahead of a larger command ship. The Hypertriton is arguably more powerful i na defensive role despite being designed for an offensive role. Slow, very well armoured and armed, many of its characteristics favour defence, and the ship can be modified to suit defensive roles more effectively.
