Pleiades v2

Ad Astra Per Ardua

To The Stars, By Struggle

In the early 21st century, humanity came very close to oblivion after a massive alien invasion. With considerable luck the aliens were defeated and a large number chose to remain as Earth's allies. Determined to prevent such a catastrophe from happening again, humanity has taken to the stars. Massive colonization fleets have been dispatched, each one carrying millions of people of all races and nations in giant city-ships. Naturally, these giant ships and their precious cargo need protection. Which is where the Fleet comes in.

Pleiades Cruiser
With an even larger gun barrage than the Aldebaran, and a single massively powerful Nova Cannon, this cruiser forms the core of the Fleet's attack forces. A fleet might have the resources to field only a tiny handful of massive battleships, but these swift cruisers can be deployed in large numbers and their power is respected wherever they are found.

(After some work, I have prepared a copy of this model with gun turrets attached for your convenience.)
