TA Flagship "Space Dragon"

So far only one of this type is made. The ship is 1,800 m long and armed to the teeth. Armed whit 5 heavy 850 mm three barreled gauss turrets and 2 400mm lighter dual gauss turrets, four missile launchers, 6 torpedo tubes 18 60mm railgun turrets and 40  quad 20 mm railgun turrets. The flagship main weapon is beam cannon capable of destroying capital ship in single strike, and a different beam designed to "steal" enemy shield and add it to its own. It also features a unconventional weapon "jaw" that is located at ship front when it goes to ramming speed/maneuver. The jaw allows that flagship remains unharmed while rammed ship is destroyed or crippled. The jaw is shaped in the head of a dragon, hence the name of the flagship "space dragon"

Protected whit 7  shield emitters build by Narmolians that are designed to absorb energy attacks, such as laser or plasma weapons, however they are unable to deflect missiles or torpedoes. The Narmolians have counter that whit 8 laser point defense systems, that destroy almost any projectile at range of 4,5 kilometer. However neither shield or point defense system can protect the flagship from bullets or cannon shells. That is why the Flagship armor is infused whit titanium plating along whit Narmolian synthesized steel which is 3 times as durable as titanium and 2 times lighter then it. The armor plating is around 10 meter wide (some places have more or less ) thus able to withstand cannon barrage for long time before being pierced.

Despite being 2 kilometers long it still has surprising maneuverability thanks to latest design in thrusters, which allow it to perform difficult maneuvers during battle (during demonstration of the flagship the ship AI and pilot were able to bring its main guns at distance of 32 meters away from leading training ship while being under fire. The flagship didn't even lost its paint during that). Its powerful engine allows it to cruise thru space whit FTL speed, as well as impressive cruising speed for its size.

It has two primary hangars and 1 "secret" hangar. The primary hangars hold 4 squadrons of MAF  and 3 "black sun" gunship each. The secret hangar is small and can only hold one upgraded MAF fighter plane. In addition to those hangars it also has a secondary hangar which holds a shuttle craft for diplomatic missions.

Being a joint construction of Humans, Narmolians and Tynids, this ship has crew members taken from all three races. The minimum crew needed to pilot this ship is around 40 as  4 Narmolian AI can do most the work. Space dragon can host around 4,800 personnel, 2200 of them being space marines, while the rest of them are stationed around the ship (engineering, pilots, doctors, gunners, cooks, intelligence officers,...), The Narmolians stationed on it are mostly engineers as they build most of the ship and as part of security, while the Tynids act as a doctors due to their healing magic.
The Tynids also suggested a special built room that would allow crew to relax during longer missions. Narmolians found it logical and build real life simulator room where imagination is the limit.
