&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;New page&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;Gudersnipe School Ship Mercury was the first [[Mercury Ship|Mercury-class]] warship commissioned. She was built in haste early in the [[Ages#The Golden Age|Golden Age]], and was on active-duty by [[A.Y.]] 1201. Many defects and design flaws kept G.S.S. Mercury from preforming anywhere near her targeted effiency, but she was still the single largest ship constructed to date.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mercury would set the standard for that class of ships, being equiped with a heavily armored hull(two miles thick in places) and centered around a single main weapon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Power Source==&lt;br /&gt;
The main reactor of the Mercury was quite a bit different from what one would expect, and completely unique among starships. At the time, most vessels used nuclear fission reactors for power, with a few employing fusion(The [[Nugen Reactor]] had yet to be concieved).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
G.S.S. Mercury used an internal combusion engine. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The single-stroke engine was the largest ever constructed, and used hydrogen bombs anywhere from 1 to 10 megatons as it&amp;#039;s fuel source. The energy released at detonation was used to drive a piston which spun a turbine and generated electricity to power the ships systems and weapons.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>
