Avalon

Avalon is the flagship of Consortium, measuring over 150 kilometers in length. It has the ability to completely eradicate entire planets using the energy from Stars to power the particle cannon.

History:

Avalon was built in secret by the fledgling Consortium during the Planetary Trade Wars. Director Kavaeltis Guinan commissioned the flagship to be the nail in the coffin for all other corporations that resisted Consortium takeover. Construction was completed in Galactic Year 2719 at the Ascendancy Drive Yards, located on the now missing (presumed destroyed) planet of Oconar.

After the Planetary Trade Wars, Avalon's presence quietly diminished, leaving some to believe that the ship was decommissioned. However, it has been recently found again, appearing above Thahn just before destroying it due to contamination from the Substance

Layout:

Details on Avalon are scarce, but it is known that the flagship carries over two thousand cloaking devices to cover the entire craft, allowing it to move undetected by radar, as well as sight. Researchers have calculated its maximum potential speed to be 2,000 C, based on the length and rumored weight of the craft. Such a low top speed restricts rapid deployment of Avalon.

The Particle Cannon uses thermal energy from stars, and converts that energy to a massive plasma blast approximately 5 kilometers in diameter. Seeing the benefit in such an energy conversion in other forms of science, researchers have attempted to duplicate this energy conversion without success. So far none have been able to duplicate the success of Avalon, leading outreach programs to call on the Consortium to reveal their secrets.

Future:

Since the destruction of Thahn, Avalon has had more of a presence. However, it is unknown where the craft sits today.
