   Comments: Designed along the aging thought of multi-purpose combat vessels, the Chiqrr-class battleship is actually a small battle fleet all onto itself; with its type S Meson Gun, 100 missile bays, 100 particle bays, 500 troops, and 150 fighters, a standard BatRon of four Chiqrr-class battleships is capable of fielding sufficient firepower to rival multi-squadron fleets. With jump-3 capability, the only significant drawback is its limited 5 Agility and 5-G acceleration.
