Description

One of the three mass-produced ships of the USM
While the Falcon can't be fitted with as many armaments as a battleship, it is still many times more devastating than its younger cousin; the Arthur-Class Strike Frigate. These are commonly appointed as escort ships to Behemoth-Class Invasionary Landers, Ajax-Class Battleships, Archimedes-Class Dreadnoughts, and Titan-Class Super Dreadnoughts.
XXX
Crew: 3,250 Naval Personnel, 250 Marine Personnel

Armaments: Nearly all kinetic weapon systems utilize miniature Space-Manipulation systems to propel themselves to their opponent in reasonable time.
40 Arbalest Missile Pods: Place on the bow of the ship, the Arbalest Missile Pods are created to land as many lightweight missile on the target as possible. When striking against the weak frame of a ship, either by a good shot or after obliterating the armor, it will pierce and damage internal systems.

2 Tengu Nuclear Missile Pods: Able to fire massive 40-megaton nuclear warheads, either to cause an internal chain reaction on the enemy ship, to practically cook its inhabitants, or to devastate electronics and shielding systems with extreme amounts of radiation. However devastating, each ship is only equipped with one and a spare for each pod, along with massive casings for each to try and prevent incoming fire from detonating them within the ship.

2 Goliath Rail Guns: Fires a condensed metal slug(500 Tons of compacted Gwevarian) that would punch a gaping hole straight through a ship its size. While not lethal against larger-classed vessels, it is still effective.

12 60mm Defense Turrets: Made to protect against waves of fighters if the Variable Fighter corps aboard the ship isn't enough.

2 Variable Fighter Hangars: Loaded with Catapult Deck, Recovery Bay, and armaments for the VF Corps. Each hangar can support up to three Variable Fighter units.

Armor:
-Each Falcon is layered with a meter of A-Grade Titanium/Tungsten Alloy, aside from a minority of the ship with the exposed E-Carbon frame; which in itself is durable enough to withstand some punishment.

-Magnetic Barrier Generator: A deployable magnetic field created by small generators lining the armored hull, controlled from the bridge. After time, these systems wear out from over exertion and magnetic feedback, deflecting a significant amount of kinetic weaponry and working to dilute incoming energy weapons.
