The weapon contained a two-stage motor that used a &lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;traditional &lt;/ins&gt;missile engine to propell the weapon to speed, at which point an [[Ion vacuum drive]] took over. Complete with a full manuvering system, the weapon could carry a wide variety of warheads. It &lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;was &lt;/ins&gt;also equipped with four single-fire [[Charged particle cannon]]s. The Sword of Damocles could use the cannon to either shoot down enemy ships on &lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;its &lt;/ins&gt;way, or punch through the shields of &lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;its &lt;/ins&gt;target. The warhead was buried deep inside the weapon, next to the reactor, and equipped with a delayed-action fuse. Since the cannons allowed the weapon to cut through shields, it would often strike the hull at &lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;considerable &lt;/ins&gt;speed, where &lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;its &lt;/ins&gt;mass allowed it to hammer right through armor, making the warhead explode inside the enemy vessel.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;

		<summary type="html">&lt;p&gt;Created page with &amp;#039;The Erebus and Terror-class was a dual-warship design invented and perfected by &lt;a href=&quot;/Joshua_Jusenkyou&quot; title=&quot;Joshua Jusenkyou&quot;&gt;Joshua Jusenkyou&lt;/a&gt;. The class consisted of two ships working together in a close pair, that toge…&amp;#039;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;New page&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;The Erebus and Terror-class was a dual-warship design invented and perfected by [[Joshua Jusenkyou]]. The class consisted of two ships working together in a close pair, that together with only a handful of support ships could provide the same capabilities as an entire battle group.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==The Erebus==&lt;br /&gt;
The [[Ship Prefix|G.S.S.]] Erebus design borrowed heavily from the dual-use [[G-001-0001 Sahar Jusenkyou Class Carrier]], which was a carrier equiped with as much firepower as a heavy battleship. Unlike the Sahar, which was essentially the size of a carrier and a battleship ducttaped together, the Erebus design was far more compact and manuverable. It shared more of the characteristics of a warship and was classified as such, but could carry a large fighter compliment. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Erebus lacked some of the manuverability of the Sahar, but kept all of the speed. It also handled better, with enhanced manuvering and controll systems, making manuevers at speed much easier.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==The Terror==&lt;br /&gt;
The G.S.S. Terror design was based more on the [[Nelson]] philosophy of tough, fast, manuverable ships able to penetrate enemy formations and take the fight directly to them. Though the size of a large cruiser, Terror was as fast and manuverable as a destroyer. The N-808-B it was inspired by could run circles around it, but for something in the size-classification of a capital ship, Terror was trully a marvel.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Armament==&lt;br /&gt;
The Erebus and Terror ships were both armed with [[Hybrid Cannon]]s as their primary weapons, with the Erebus carrying turret-mounted designs and Terror support integrated versions. With every other ship in the fleet still using old-fashioned [[Beam Cannon]]s, this was enough of an edge to give the two ships alone more firepower than an entire battle group.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A curious feature of the design invovled a high-speed, heavily encrypted communications link between the ships that allowed controllers onboard Erebus to operate and fire weapons on Terror. This allowed Terror to operate with a smaller crew.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One weapon in particular was the Sword of Damocles, a type of missile based on the defense sattellites used by the [[Roger Young]]. The Sword of Damocles was to large for any missile tube, and had to be launched from special hangers protected by armored doors. The weapon contained a two-stage motor that used a tradditional missile engine to propell the weapon to speed, at which point an [[Ion vacuum drive]] took over. Complete with a full manuvering system, the weapon could carry a wide variety of warheads. It wass also equipped with four single-fire [[Charged Particle]] cannons. The Sword of Damocles could use the cannon to either shoot down enemy ships on it&amp;#039;s way, or punch through the shields of it&amp;#039;s target. The warhead was buried deep inside the weapon, next to the reactor, and equipped with a delayed-action fuse. Since the cannons allowed the weapon to cut through shields, it would often strike the hull at consierable speed, where it&amp;#039;s mass allowed it to hammer right through armor, making the warhead explode inside the enemy vessel.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>
