Haaai,

So, I haven't put up a submission in a while, but dread not (Hehe), for my newest creation is out!

The Retribution-class Super Dreadnought (Of Doom) is the largest capital ship ever constructed by the UEE, or any other race for that matter. Only one was built, the UEES Retribution, due to the unfathomable costs of producing such a warship. The ship was the brainchild of the revered Admiral Bishop as a ship to reduce the infamous Kingships of the warlike Vanduul race to wreckage.
Built at the UEE Naval Skydocks on MacArthur, the dreadnought is armed with multiple 130mm anti-capital ship rail guns.

Under a veil of secrecy, the Retribution's construction began before the Vanduul War, under the name "Project Quadeen". Though financial problems delayed the project's completion, eventually the ship was ready in 2946. It was then assigned to the 65th Battle Group, where it would soon see action.

In March that year, a military offensive was launched against the Vanduul, known as Operation Mandrake. When the UEE acquired intelligence that a Vanduul clan was mounting another attack on the Oberon System, Admiral Bishop ordered a sweep of the system by a small strike team. When they found the invaders, the team engaged the clan's forces in a bold act to prevent them from ravaging another human settlement. While the vanguards of the operation held off the Vanduul, the Retribution jumped into the system, cutting of any chance of escape, and ultimately, survival for the Vanduul forces. From then, the battle was one-sided - multiple Vanduul capital ships were incapacitated, though there were no present Kingships to speak of.

Mandrake was the first significant UEE victory in the Vanduul War, defeating a medium sized clan and seeing the first use of the UEES Retribution.

Well, there's a bit of information on the Retribution's fascinating history for you. So, as I mentioned in the title, this is built in roughly 1:30 scale, since mine is about 100 blocks long, and a full-size version looks to be around 3km long (That's 9-10 times longer than a modern Nimitz-class aircraft carrier, the largest warship of today.) I couldn't include any specifications for this one, since info on the Retribution is very, very limited.
You'll also notice in the last picture I included an alternative colour scheme, since we don't really know what colour the dreadnought is (Yet!).

Well, looks like that'll be all for now. I hope you enjoyed seeing this project, and I'll see you soon.
