Airam-Class Dreadnaught

These massive behemoths are the Airam Clans pride and joys. They mark a Clan's status and become the first home to many of the Clan's members. These ships are constantly being upgraded or modified for a Clan's needs. These stats is the stock version of the ship but even new ones being built are modified before they first leave the star yards.

While these ships aren't the most advance ships in the galaxy, they make use of proven tech, thick heavy armor, redundant systems and unorthodox tactics, making these ships highly dangerous to anyone who would dare challenge them.

History
The Airam Dreadnaughts have been around for as long as the Airam Clan's. Typically a Clan can only own/operate one of these ships, though the larger Head Clans may operate two or even three, though this is rare.

These ships are a gift to a newly formed Clans, no matter how the clan is formed. Its a sign of respect from the other clans. It then becomes a status symbol for that clan. A poorly maintained Airam Dreadnaught means the clan is near to ruin and thus of lower class, while an up to date, in great condition dreadnaught shows the Clan is prosperous and of higher class.

When a Clan falls apart, or is absorbed by another clan, that Dreadnaught is returned to the star yards to be rebuilt for another up in coming clan. They can also be used to replace a Clan's destroyed Dreadnaught, but no matter the cause of the destruction of the vessel, the Clan must undergo trials to prove worthy of a new Dreadnaught.

To date there are nearly thirty of these ships built with only 80% of them in operation with a active Clan. The others are being rebuilt or remain in dry dock till they are to be gifted to a new Clan.

The Combined might of these ships along with the large assortment of other ships and vessels is the cause for the Airam Sector to remain free and Independent from any government body. Even the Galactic Empire at its height didn't dare to challenge the Airam Fleet directly, knowing that even when they won, the losses they would have wouldn't be worth it.
