Fortress-Class Land Battleship

The Land Battleship was used on Kadian long before the CIS invasion as a multi-terrain mobile command base. While the older ones sported heavy fire power in their own right, this newer Fortress class is by far the most powerful ever built. They were developed for planetary defense, their turrets capable of attacking ships in low orbit or entering the atmosphere.

While the siege cannons are the primary weapon, the Fortress class has a number of defensive weapons should the enemy get too close, and also has long range rockets to take out enemy formation half a continent away.

For the longest time these lumbering beasts of the land could only be seen on Systems Alliance held worlds, as they were too large to transport to other worlds in combat situations. Best that could be done was transport them in sections and assemble them at their new location.

But with the new Deadelus-Class Assault Lander, these Fortresses can easily be transported to a planet and deployed combat ready.

=Weapon Systems=

Three-barrel Siege High-Mega Particle Beam Turrets
Roughly as powerful as planetary Turbolasers, they are capable of causing a great deal of damage to ships in orbit, if not outright destroying them. Their fire power can be dialed down to a more manageable weapon to be used against enemy land units or to attack fortifications.

Anti-Air Double Beam Guns
A automatic version of the SA beam weapons used primarily against air craft attacking the Fortress. They can also be used to destroy incoming missiles.

20 mm Anti-Missile Gatling Guns
Auto tracking rapid fire weapons used to take down hostile missiles. They are used to free up the beam guns to attack the enemy air craft.

6-tube Surface to Air Missile Launchers
Additional Anti-Air defense system.

Surface to Surface Rocket Launchers
Intercontinental Rockets tipped with high yield explosive, or nuclear, warheads used to destroy enemy formations or bases at long range.
