Description[edit]
Designed as a pure battleship, the Farragut-class WarShip was commissioned to replace the aging Dreadnought-class and Monsoon-class vessels, brainchild of Lord Richard Cameron of the Terran Hegemony. Design of the Farragut began in 2430, but Richard died before the first Farragut slipped its mooring in 2448. The name pays homage to Admiral Isaac Farragut, hero of the Battle of Lyons, making the Farragut both an impregnable naval vessel and a symbol of Hegemony martial pride.[2]
The Farragut-class battleship performed several roles in the Hegemony fleets, including line ships and fleet flagships, but the Farragut was also capable of operating independently. The largest class of naval vessels at the time of its introduction, the Farragut served admirably, but production faltered due to a combination of price and newer, more advanced features on recently designed classes. Doctrinal changes eventually prompted the design of the McKenna, and production of the Farragut ended in 2500. However, Farraguts would serve in the HAF for centuries to come. The last Farragut-class vessel was decommissioned (and dismantled) on 20 December, 2766.[2]
At least one Farragut would end up in the hands of the Star League-in-Exile and departed the Inner Sphere as part of General Kerensky's Exodus,[3] while another would be restored by the Word of Blake and became the flagship of the sect's Precentor Naval Gregory Zwick by the time of the Jihad.[4][5]
Armament[edit]
The Farragut was designed as a brawler and a showcase vessel for the newly developed Naval Gauss Cannons, of which the Farragut possesses 18. Beyond the Naval Gausses, the Farragut also mounts massive naval autocannons, Killer Whale missile systems, and Heavy NPPCs. For point defense, the Farragut can deploy an entire wing of aerospace fighters, and shoot down incoming bogies with a massive array of Large Lasers.[2]
The Farragut is also relatively maneuverable, especially for a combat Jumpship, and is well armored.
Cargo[edit]
The Farragut can transport a massive payload. The Farragut could deploy with a full wing of aerospace fighters (36 fighters), housed in three of the Farragut's five bays. Another bay was designed to carry small craft, allowing the Farragut to transport up to 10. The final bay is a dedicated cargo bay, capable of containing 183,414.5 tons of cargo.[2]
- Bay 1: Aerospace Fighters (12), 2 Doors
- Bay 2: Aerospace Fighters (12), 2 Doors
- Bay 3: Aerospace Fighters (12), 2 Doors
- Bay 4: Small Craft (10), 2 Doors
- Bay 5: Cargo (183,414.5 tons), 2 Doors
