Thunderhead Superfortress
Description
The Thunderhead Superfortress, built by the Tausennigan Ob'enn, is one of the most fearsome classes of warship ever to ply the stars. One superfortress is just over a kilometer from jibbenmast to gravystem and can deploy up to sixteen dragon-class warships. It carries a crew of 200, along with a droplement of up to 10,000 soldiers, depending on species. Thunderheads are piloted by highly intelligent on-board A.I.[2001-03-25]. Each ship weighs a few hundred million metric tons and displaces as much water as a heavier-than-water sphere of 1000 meters diameter [[[@http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2002-10-20%7C2002-10-20]]]. The side with the hangar bay openings is considered the bow, and the side with the large annie-plant is considered the stern [[[@http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2002-09-02%7C2002-09-02]]].
