Republic Class

The Republic-class was a United Earth Class I Heavy BattleCruiser. They were the premier front-line fleet vessels in the latter half of the 2060s,2070s and into the 2080s, although due to the number of resources needed to keep them running, they're on reserve status. The Republic and several others of her class, including the Thunderchild, were pivotal in the war against the DNC during the colonial wars. As of 2077, out of the 72 ships of this class built there are 17 Republic Class ships in reserve, the 18th being the Thunderchild before it was lost during the Battle of Centari 5.
