Overview:
Officially a heavy cruiser, the Sovetskii Soyuz mounts such devastating weaponry that many SLDF officers considered the WarShip a battlecruiser. Built by Blue Nose Clipperships of Mars, the 800-meter vessel was among the new vessels commissioned under General Rebecca Fredasa's New Arms Order of 2735. That order came after Mother Jocasta Cameron assumed control of the Star League. Under her predecessor, Lord Jonathan Cameron, the Star League Defense Force had fallen into neglect as massive money was spent on the automated space-defense system that would prove so ineffective during the Amaris Coup. As a result, the SLDF had been losing ground to the militaries of the League's member states for several years.
General Fredasa's declaration called for a large-scale upgrading of the SLDF's ships and weapons, and the Sovetskii Soyuz was one of several designs to emerge. Making use of the latest Star League technology, the Sovetskii Soyuz employed an unprecedented level of computer control, but its most distinctive feature remains its formidable arsenal. Naval autocannons provide the Sovetskii Soyuz's main offensive power, and an impressive array of naval lasers and particle cannons provide substantial long-range firepower, which often proves especially valuable during extended battles. However, to attain this level of firepower and still maintain adequate maneuverability, the designers had to reduce the vessel's armor to 744 tons. Many officers feared such light armor would result in the swift destruction of the WarShips, but the Sovetskii Soyuz's excellent long-range firepower proved sufficient to keep threats at a distance.
Many of the original 400 Sovetskii Soyuz Class vessels were destroyed during the long campaign to liberate Terra, but about forty survived and left with the Exodus fleet. The majority of these eventually became the core of the Clan fleet. One of these vessels, the SLS Kharkov, would later be renamed the Dire Wolf and serve as the flagship of the Wolf Clan.
The Clan version of the Sovetskii Soyuz has a fifth docking hardpoint along the vessel's spine, and a lithium-fusion battery system. The Clan Soyuz also carries two full Stars of OmniFighters. The armor has been improved to ferro-aluminum, which reduces the tonnage of the armor.
