Free Planets Alliance - Battleship Muffuese

Muffuese is modification of standard Alliance battleship (GW), intended as squadron leader. It is created to for specialized missions like breaking through enemy lines. Most noticeable modification is on its bow. Standard box shaped bow was replaced with hammerhead bow which house more cannons then standard battleship. However four of the eight long range neutron cannons that standard Alliance battleship have was remove to add additional weapons. This make smaller problems as different calibers have different range.

As designed for breakthrough missions, its defenses were boosted, it has stronger shields then standard battleships but armor was the same. Originally Alliance engineers want to add more front armor, however that would make serious problems, more armor means more mass and ship would lose his speed thus it was decided that only shields were to be upgraded, however some armor adjustments were added to the engine block.
Ship is 627 meters long and have 720 crew. Armament: Instead of eight long range neutron cannons that standard battleships have, Muffuese have only four of them located on lower part of the bow. Remaining fifteen guns were medium range beam cannons. Twelve located on hammers (six on each side) and three in the middle). There seventeen port and seventeen starboard cannons, multiple missile launchers and space for three to six Spartanian fighters (although Muffuese usually have only shuttles instead fighters).

Muffuese was experiment, to create better and stronger variant of already proven GW battleship but instead of mass production it was intend to be only as squadron leader ship. While Muffuese firepower was almost double of standard battleship and its forward shields equal in strength to that of Ajax class battleship, it was expensive and rather unfit for longer engagements. Due larger energy demand ship had more energy reactors to power the main weapons however in the end it was shown that although with great firepower and excellent protection, Muffuese suffer from many problems and it has shorter endurance then standard battleships.

Muffuese was the only ship that was constructed although few more was considered. Commodore Marino was commanding officer of this ship. Muffuese survived the battle of Vermilion and later battle of the Coridor and Shiva. It is unknown what happen to this ship but it is quit possible that it is still active with "Irregulars"
