History
The ship design first entered consideration in 2610, only to be rejected eight times before being accepted due to massive costs and design flaws. The ship class was in production for roughly a century, was decommissioned and subsequently decommissioned almost three hundred years later as a support ship for the Arkship class during the first Centennium war.

Over the course of its twin commissions, equaling to a production period of almost three centuries ,about four hundred sixty of these colossal vessels were produced, each one taking ten years to make and produced two at a time. It took part in multiple battles, the one of highest note having been the ninth battle of Reach, the last, and greatest battle of the Centennium war. Almost eighty of these ships were in system alongside six Ark-ships, 1.6 thousand Kryptic Heavy-Frigates, eight hundred Hades Heavy-Destroyers, And over four thousand other ships, including an additional three thousand U.S.C. Ships ,which were a part of Operation: Eden, A failsafe which had been forced, but was interrupted on the arrival of forty thousand Neo-Covenant, Slayers, and the remaining 'desolation' parasites. This in turn earned a remark from a veteran marine- No matter how many damn ships we have at Reach, Those stupid ass Covies always outnumber us three to one!!! - who had participated in the seventh and eighth Battles of Reach. The battle resulted in the complete annihilation of every planet in-system, except for Reach, sixty-three of the Vengance Class Super-heavy Cruisers were destroyed, the rest in dry dock for the next eight months, and one ark-ship destroyed, resulting in the death of a quarter-million civilian passengers on board. Asides from that, the ship class participated in over forty other major battles, and countless small skirmishes which caused the destruction of thirty additional cruisers. After the end of the ship's second commission, the ships of this class remained in active duty until the last of its class was reported M.I.A. in 3421 on a research mission near a rare black-hole tri-cluster.

Statistics
Weighing in at roughly 26000 tons, it was the largest ship made since the Infinity-Class Super-heavy Cruiser-Carrier. It sports almost 2000 Missile pods scattered over it's hull, not including the numerous Medusa missile pods used for defense against single-ship fighters and dropships alongside the equally numerous Cyclone-VII Weapon systems scattered in strategic points over the entirety of the hull. In combat it was a nightmare to be set against and a relief to be alongside. It sports six XVII-S2-Generation-4 Magnetic accelerator Cannons designed to recycle leftover energy and fire it a second time before recharging alongside two experimental energy weapons that would later be classified as the V41-Halcyon Directed energy weapon. The vessel itself is almost 25 kilometers long from end to end and had an impressive amount of titanium A-3 battle-plate intersected with nitrogen heat dispelling layers and crystalline micro star weave mesh for absorbing energy and converting it to use for the ship itself.
