| Description |
The Balor-class battleship has quite a reputation. At the start of its development, Zypher Naval Works was audited and the Council found out they have been pooling valuable resources to an unfinished test bed monitor. The company was fined heavily and the monitor was to be scrapped. Naval Command however had other plans with the monitor and saved it from the breaking yards to see what they were secretly testing.
The 500 mm gun, though experimental, showed great promise. The gun is capable of shattering the thickest armor and fires fast for its caliber. It was decided that this is the gun that shall arm the Balor. The company that won the bid to design the Balor, Fallenfire Industries, was tasked to replace the 457mm guns with the ones from Zypher Naval Works — leading to delays as the gun was too big and the entire ship was redesigned from the ground up to accommodate it and its numerous secondary guns. Building such a massive ship required a huge drydock, which luckily MacSionnach Maritime was building for purposes of efficient destroyer production and repairs prior to its designing phase, though it needed to be extended to accommodate the size.
Once it was finished, it was so massive that it almost filled up ports. In battle, its broadsides are devastating, and its armor can withstand the toughest blows. Its impressive armament and size has gained the epithet “The Behemoth”.
