The Tenebrion, Alpha Class X3-700 Star Cruiser, 3rd Wyvern Galaxy Coalition. A massive military vessel, The Tenebrion is one of many Alpha Class ships, all built to head fleet detachments throughout the known galaxies. She is equipped with countless guns, the main cannon (a TIRB cannon--Twin Ionized Repulsive Blasters) found on the bottom hull, just aft of the bow. She has port and starboard flight hatches (six on each side), each door releasing a squadron of fighters at any one time (four squadrons are also held in reserve). On the hull bottom are five more hatches, suitable for releasing ships, such as bombers, small transports, or any other sort of small craft. Aft of amidships and just before the stern thrusters begin is the Perimetric-Operative Hyperdrive Ring (POHR). This ring gives the ship faster-than-light speed capabilities as well as hyperspace jumping. The perimetric-operative function refers to the ring's ability to create a forcefield that can pull other, smaller ships in with it for jumps or faster-than-light speeds. The Alpha Class ship is therefore the backbone of its fleet. Part battleship, part aircraft carrier, part mass transportational device, ships like The Tenebrion keeps the interstellar space under the 3rd Wyvern Galaxy Coaltion safe.
