Imperius-Class Battleship

The Imperius-Class Battleship serves as the enduring backbone of Solarian naval power. Where the Titan-Class symbolizes authority, the Imperius is a weapon of relentless endurance — a ship designed to dominate battle lines, break sieges, and enforce Ducal will across the stars.

The Imperius is older than the Titan project, but no less respected. Admirals and captains alike hold command of these vessels as a badge of honor. Their design embodies Solarian values: strength, discipline, and permanence.
