Fiction:Sorcerers of Rathan/Fleet

"Rejoice, dear friend! Your destiny is to become one with the void, and avoid the pain of living any longer. You may longer fear the pain brought by the Hegemony's rulership, and be free of your chains. Warriors, fire the canons. Leave a crater in their world."

- Sorcerer-Lord Vratith the Exalted

Star Dreadnoughts
Temple-class Ship= A Temple-Class ship is a testament to all who doubt the will of the Rathanii, and work of decadent art and blasphemous boast to any who look upon it. Few are ever constructed, but most are based on the first Temples built by the Krallir, and act as conduits for power, and rallying points for Rathanii forces. Only 5 or so exist within the Rathanii Warfleets, and each is guarded by the greatest ships to be found. Onboard are whole planet's worth of Warriors, Janissaries and others ready to fight at a moment's notice. Only the highest ranking Sorcerers, such as Crothal, can keep one, and not have his rivals come for it. The Witch-Queen has the strongest one, and these vessels are prized, for they carried the Rathanii into this universe to escape the Black Cancer.
 * Weapons - Heavy and Light Hellfire Batteries, Brimstone Batteries, Wailing Doom Missile launchers.
 * Defenses - Heavy Armor, Powerful Ray shielding.

Temple Ships are armed with the most powerful and destructive Heavy and Light Hellfire batteries, meant to burn and destroy enemy ships, reducing even the most powerful defenses to ash and cinder, assisted by powerful Brimstone batteries. Brimstone batteries fire surges of plasma into their foes ships. This plasma takes a form similar into magma and lava, sticking to shields and ships, and slowly eating away their shields before burning away after several seconds. Further, to assist in bombarding their foes, Temple ships further have a number of Wailing Doom Missile launchers.

The Temple Ships have heavy hull armor, as even without their shields, they can maintain their strength and durability even when attacked by multiple ships and whole fleets. Likewise, their powerful shielding can withstand any number of bombardments from enemy ships, and even strong enough to allow the Temple ship to come inches into the surface of a sun.

Temple Ships are not only highly powerful warships, but are also used by Sorcerers as means to meditate and center their powers. These ships have numerous internal mechanisms to hone and develop their powers, allowing the Sorcerers that own them to manifest their powers far more powerful then before, and even use them to influence ships of their own and of their enemies. Likewise, the Rathanii have the highest level forces on board, ready to defend it from any attacks. Likewise, the Temple Ships' internal workings produce auras of Dark Alchemy power that disrupt not only the essence abilities of others, but also cause technology of their enemies to randomly sputter out, leaving them without blasters, or detection technology, or whatever they are using, knee-capping the boarding crews.
