The class also carries two Shiva-class nuclear missiles. Secondary weapon systems include 4 12-inch/50 caliber railgun batteries, 20 anti-ship missile pods and 40 point-defense autocannons. The primary armament of the Halberd-class is a pair of Mark II heavy-coil Magnetic Accelerator Cannons. Sublight propulsion is provided by four high-thrust E-740 impulse drives located at the aft, with shipboard power being provided by a pair of D5O naval fusion reactors. A Halberd typically carries two D77 Pelicans as well as their associated support equipment.
Like the older Stalwart-class, Halberd-class destroyers are outfitted with a ventral launch bay capable of holding two dropships. The overall hull shape resembles the Stalwart-class with its distinctive 'arrowhead' profile.
Specifications Superstructure and hull Īt 542 meters in length, the Halberd-class destroyer is only seven meters longer than a Paris-class heavy frigate, yet it has double the mass at 1.8 million metric tons. The hull of the Halberd class is reinforced with 200 centimetres of Titanium-A1 armor plating, with an internal skeleton made up of Vanadium steel.
