[font=Franklin Gothic Medium]Commissioning of the 748-Miranda

[font=Franklin Gothic Medium]Also of the first five of its class, the Hathor Gunboat class Miranda is a strike class vessel capable of dealing damage in quick succession to designated targets. The Miranda has adapted ten years of particle accelerator research conducted by scientists on Toledo by enabling its weapon batteries to fire in quick succession. A slightly changed feature of the Miranda's weaponry is that it explodes on proximidity. Along with the blast radius from the proximidity of the projectile, the weapon systems use Beta radiation to spread over whole organic masses (like nomads) - which causes the nomad vessels to become slower in its responsiveness, allowing further damage to be applied. The Miranda has also adapted an enlarged power capacity for deep space exploration - this makes an enormous difference when in the edge worlds. The Miranda, along with the other =748= vessels, has a mobile research division, although, not merely as advanced as the Caliban or the Acropolis.

Known Information Review by the Order
When the Zoners constructed their gunboat, a more offensive variant prototype was developed at the same time. This design was then secretly shared with the Order, who then developed plans for large scale construction. Thus was birthed the Hathor. Acting mainly as an anti-fighter/bomber ship, this successful class rapidly became the most produced capital class vessel in the Order. With an advanced reactor and superior targeting system, the Hathor has superior firepower, to meet the needs of its intended role: to reduce any hostile scouts trying to penetrate Order territory to their core, flaming components.

Armaments:

2 x Order Gunboat Turret Mk I (Class 8)
- The Order Gunboat Turrets are the Mirandas primary defensive weapon, they are particularly more powerful against fighters and bombers, but is an average weapon against other gunboats. This weapon does not excel against Cruiser class ships and higher. Has been altered with Beta radiation, to excel against Nomad fighters, as they are organic and dont respond well to Beta rays.

2 x Gunboat Pulse Cannon (Class 8)
- The general Pulse Cannon is efficient verses shields, but does near to no hull damage on its target. Since these Pulse Cannons are slow, their main forte is against other gunboats, although it does some damage against Cruisers, but not widely efficient against such targets. The Pulse Cannons on the Miranda have been altered, the projectile hits the target, spreading over the targets shields, crippling every point. This is normal for pulse cannons, except it has been altered to allow Beta radiation to do more damage by slowly wearing down the targets shields.

4 x Gunboat Battle Razor (Class 8)
- The general Battle Razor is efficient verses hull, although slightly decreased against shielding on designated targets. Gunboat Battle Razors are fairly slow, but the Mirandas targeting system allows the Battle Razors to be fired and hit fairly accurately on fast moving ships such as fighters and bombers. The Battle Razors have been altered slightly to provide a larger damage capacity, at the expense of using more energy. But since the Miranda has an enlarged power capacity, it isnt under any stress when using such weapons. Battle Razors efficiency is against other gunboats, and slightly cruisers, but not widely efficient against such targets. The targeting system allows it to be fired upon fighters and bombers, dealing large quantities of damage in one accurate shot.
