Design
Larger than a standard Imperial battleship, the fast battleship design has five separate engines mounted at the rear of the hull.
The ship is also more heavily armed, with twelve cannons in the bow and at least six cannons on both the port and starboard side.
The vessel also carries a Valkyrie fighter complement of unknown size. (LOGH: 'The Battle of Amritsar Starzone')
Role and Capabilities
The fast battleship design fought in all known fleet battles from at least 794 UC (485 IC / 3594 CE) to 801 UC (3 NIC / 492 IC / 3601 CE), forming part of all Imperial fleets. Unique amongst the Imperial fleets, the Black Lancers under Fritz Josef Bittenfeld had a much higher concentration of fast battleships (painted black, like all ships of the Black Lancers) in its forces than any other fleet.
Larger, more heavily armed and faster than a standard battleship, the fast battleship had high profile roles in several notable fleet actions outside of its prime position in the Black Lancers - including the Kircheis Fleet's defeat of the Littenheim Fleet in the Imperial Civil War and the Wahlen Fleet's subjugation of Terra. (LOGH: 'Courage and Loyalty', 'Visitors')
In addition to its combat role, the fast battleship was sometimes adopted as a flagship by certain Imperial admirals - including Rear Admiral Siegfried Kircheis prior to his being granted the unique flagship Barbarossa, and Vice Admiral Adalbert von Fahrenheit in the aftermath of the Lippstadt Rebellion. (LOGH: 'The Castrop Rebellion', 'Farewell, Distant Memories')
Like a standard battleship the fast could enter planetary atmospheres and land on the surface. (LOGH: 'Farewell, Distant Memories', 'Visitors')
