This ship is an Esminets-Class Assault ship which is a class of warships in the Space Force of the United Mankind. It is a fast ship used in the war against the Humankind Empire of Abh. It is used as the first line of battle against enemy assault ships and patrol ships.

Design
The design packs a lot of weaponry into a small streamlined octahedron hull which makes the ship very compact and cramped. It has three engines for maximum thrust and maneuverability. Two engines are on the back. The third engine is hung below the main hull. There are four fixed pylons mounted on the third engine's suspension. These pylons have rails at the tip for mounting huge antimatter missiles.

History
