VX Vessel Shipwrights Strike-Destroyer Map. In total it took me around two weeks to fully construct this ship. Java Edition only, but the map will be downloadable.
The VX-class Vessel Strike Destroyer
Background:
Since the 2370’s conflict in the galaxy has seemingly become a cyclical event. Planetary raids are commonplace and patrolling law enforcement starships become ever more heavily armed as a result, leading to bloodier skirmishes. One thing leads to another, and wars eventually start. The constant hostile environment has bred a cesspool of tense astropolitics that have begun to sew the seeds of rapid militarization of even civilian ships to stave off pirate and raider vessels who seek to pillage cargo and transport ships of their goods. Neutral worlds are especially hit hard by this developing problem, as many civilian worlds are hotbeds for criminal gangs and smugglers seeking to avert direct confrontation with law enforcement whose power is diminished by distance and regional planetary authority. One of these worlds is Vessel II, a heavily urbanized planet that was created as a passion project by its founder, Vitomir “Vessel” Estavrin Leitkovitch. Vessel was created as a neutral haven, a utopia for pioneering technologies and advanced scientific research to advance society, but it has nonetheless fallen victim to the same problem, and individuals looking to take stock of the freedom for ill intent exist. This began the process that would ultimately form the Fists of Justice, a freelancer ethical mercenary group that originally operated out of the Vessel system for many years before being recognized by the planet as a non-government peacekeeping group. The Fists utilized a Vessel Planetary Defense Force (VPDF) Starship named the Starstriker, an aging vessel that had been retrofitted from a long-distance cargo hauler into a faster, more tactically minded ship. The Starstriker was unfortunately destroyed, and Vitomir and his aides would offer them a newer model of ship, the V3 Vessel Destroyer. A part of this was however utilized moreso to show off VSW’s rapid construction and technological advancement skills, and as a result, mass-produced versions of the V3 had glaring vulnerabilities that landed many captains into the ground. Looking to rectify their mistakes, they constructed the V7, a far more advanced model of ship that was specifically built to shore up the flaws of the previous ship. However, it quickly became apparent that while the ship was a massive step up from its predecessor, it was seen as uninviting, cold, and sterile. The external design was not generally liked, and it was cumbersome maneuverability wise. Vessel’s customers were using the ships not just as attack or defense vessels, but also for long-range missions with extensive crew shifts. The pristine white interior decreased morale and had negative psychological effects on evaluated crewmen.
Vitomir knew the people’s grievances, and needed to fill the holes that popped up when a new design was made. VSW’s luxury yachts and aircrafts were wildly popular, but their starships were designed almost by a different mind. This gave VSW an idea, to combine the two. The glaring issues of the V7 would be repaired, and the ship would be fitted with luxury condos and housing to make a crew comfortable. In addition, they could build a design all anew that would satisfy more customers, and they could construct the ship in a way that would leave it extremely versatile and defensible. Vitomir approved the idea, and the prototypes were developed. Halfway through the development cycle, Vitomir met with alien designers, professional architects and engineers from several planets to oversee the design, and their disgust shocked him. They reported that his design would be the worst yet, and unilaterally worked on a radically new design, one that kept true to the core of the ship’s DNA, and accommodate all of the amenities that was thought beforehand. Vitomir was stunned by their efficiency, and requisitioned cadres of alien engineers to rebuild the ship from the ground up. The final result was the fruit of their labors, the VX. The VX’s graceful lines and powerful pointed stature commands immediate respect, with its heavy shielding, multiple reaction thruster assemblies and swivel-mounted heavy cannons keeping the ship constantly safe. The VX was designed so well that on the first launch day, more than 200,000 models were requested by private civilian contractors. With the beginning of the VX era, Vessel Shipwrights entered a golden age of unified starship construction, now cooperating in tandem with foreign powers.
