King's Blade-class Battlecruiser

King's Blade-class Battlecruiser/Carrier

"Impressive, so you say this can stand toe-to-toe with an Imperial Star Destroyer?"

- Rajh T'le, Ex-Jedi and Rebel General

 was one of the ships of the line of the Feliinyen Royal Navy along with the Queen's Blade-class Battlecruiser, the Accel-class Light Frigate, the Excel-class Escort Carrier, and the Predator-class Corvette.

Details
Designed to bear resemblance to the Ceremonial Sword used by the Feliinyen King, it features various elements that make it bear an uncanny resemblance to the typical dagger shaped warships of the Empire. It features two mandible-like protrusions on the forward section that lead to a hangar at the "mouth" of the mandibles, this hangar connects to a larger internal bay with two other exits at either side of the ship on the upper section of the ship's edges.

It is primarily oriented to utilize its vast fighter complement as the main source of damage output while using the onboard weapon systems in a much more supportive role for these fighters. However it does boast sufficient firepower to match an Imperial Star Destroyer and in most cases, come out victorious.

The forward mandibles lead to a clean curving hull shape that ends with a pair of downwards slanted "wings" and a fantail like structure covering the top of the five thruster units. It features prominently a shell-like structure on the upper section the covers all three hangar entrances and merges into the wings and fantail of the ship. Like all Feliinyen Warships, all vessels are colored a dark shade of sage green with each ship receiving unique black markings along the dorsal and ventral surfaces. It features a dorsal superstructure along with a wide bridge section. While the actual bridge of the ship is located deep withing the ship, a cruise bridge is located on the dorsal superstructure.

The ship also boasts a basic A.I. that allows it to interact with the command crew of the ship and manages many aspects of the ship to lessen the strain on the crew.

Production
The King's Blade-class entered production around halfway into the Clone Wars but as soon as the first fleet was assembled, the Clone Wars has already ended, leaving the ships in sector patrol roles until the full outbreak of the Galactic Civil War.

Usage
The ships would be used for the most of the conception as border patrol and defense ships, neutralizing various scout ships that would be near Feliinyen territory.

After the outbreak of the Galactic Civil War and the Empire's declaration of war against the Rebel Alliance and their allies, the King's Blades would see extensive use for the entirety of the war, becoming the backbone of the Feliinyen Navy and even being the main warships in many Alliance Fleets along side many Mon Calamari cruisers. The ships within Feliinyen fleets and armadas always operated in conjunction with at least one Queen's Blade balltecruiser and at least two Accel-class light frigate.

Later during the war several dozen ships would be transferred to the Feliinyen Special Operations Bureou (FSOB) and be outfitted with cloaking devices and electronic warfare systems to be able to sneak behind enemy lines and deliver strikes against well defended targets that would otherwise be nearly impossible to touch.

Obsolescence
While being an older model of warship, the ship would continue seeing used for years to come, being relegated to escort roles and much less significant roles as newer more advanced ships rolled out of the assembly line.

The ships would later be reborn as the King's Blade II after an extensive renewal program in the navy was approved. These King's Blade II would continue to see service for centuries, despite being an ancient design, it remained of use long past their glory days.
