History

The Aimeryk-class was produced by Senirila Starships for the Galactic Navy, as well as marketed to powerful companies and systems in the Galactic Alliance. The intention was to produce a powerful but affordable artillery cruiser, with some additional versatility. To accomplish this, engineers were given the baffling condition that the bombardment turbolasers had to be modular, interchangeable with different strengths and projectile types. The Aimeryk remained a conceptual design for a century before entering production. Difficulties with power generation and structurally supporting the massive artillery cannons outlined in the original design delayed the completion of a functioning ship. In addition, heat channel valves linking the artillery cannons with the main ship were burning out after the first few consecutive shots, from the intense waste energy produced by the cannons. Engineers had been able to create radiators and exhaust systems which were more than sufficient for cooling the artillery modules, but moving the energy and gas from the module to the venting systems was proving a difficult challenge, and the pathways to these systems were failing when exposed to repeated blasts of the energies involved. These problems would have been solved by simply integrating the cannons with the ship, but Senirila remained resolute in their requirements. All of these technological and engineering roadblocks continued to push the deadline for completion back, and the Aimeryk design was in real danger of being postponed indefinitely, or canceled.



The solution that was found was to modify the artillery modules themselves. An automatic waste vent was introduced at the back of the module, which would launch excess gases from the system into space. Working with Cyxtess Technologies, the design team was able to create a seal between the modules and the cruiser which withstood the energies transferred between them. Another minor problem found during testing was that the modules would come loose when the ship was damaged, and the inertial systems preventing recoil could fail under ion fire, posing a serious danger in combat. The solution were several rails that the module could slide along, ending in shock absorbers and redundant inertial dampeners at the back of the module's tube. Relocating the exhaust systems allowed for larger and more robust heat channels, and the radiators were similarly upscaled for performance. The trade off was that waste gas wouldn’t be able to be recycled, but this was deemed an acceptable loss since numerous other issues were resolved. Designers also managed to make room for a larger reactor, located in the center of the main hull.



The Aimeryk was extremely popular as an efficient artillery cruiser. The ship was able to fire fast and often, which made it an ideal support ship for battle fleets. The Aimeryk was most often used at extreme ranges - the vessel had poor maneuvering and acceleration making it vulnerable in close quarters and to capital ship hunters such as marauders and corvettes. As a result, Aimeryks were rarely seen without escorts. This was especially necessary because the ship had no hangers for strike craft. The cruiser wasn’t entirely without defenses; several anti-fighter cannons were positioned at the bow, and the ship had dozens of smaller laser cannons to ward off attackers. The majority of its firepower, however, was contained in the twin artillery cannons, which were front-facing and unable to traverse quickly. These cannons could fire continuously due to the automated recoil and venting systems. Both cannons could also fire independently and at different targets.The Aimeryk was used for several millenia, able to persist in the same way many modular ships did - constant improvements to the modules and defensive systems. The ship was particularly effective during the Shadow Fleet Crisis - Aimeryk's could fire on Shadow Fleets far from their energy pulses, and coupled with dedicated sensor ships had a chance at dodging their instant-impact beams.

I love it, except when I have to actually use the timelines for writing descriptions. Then I wish I had a decade or some other small time period.

This looks like it could kick a lot of bumhole. I’m amazed by all the thought put into the technical aspects of this ship as well, once you’ve had a look at that you can really understand why the ship looks like it does. Nice!
