WE302 Larafsyn-Kaylo Battlecruiser

Wodef Enclave

The Larafsyn battlecruiser family is a more recent hull design, though by no means new. The Larafsyn is itself essentially an upgrade to the older Uledio Battlecruiser. Aside from the internal improvements and weapons upgrades, the primary difference is that the Uledio’s weak central core has been encased in an armoured housing. The older Dofio frigates used a similar method, but it was long believed that to attempt the same on a larger ship would disrupt the GVD focussing coils beneath too much armour. The Larafsyn attempted to fix the issue by increasing the size of the coils by 10% and dramatically improving the power plant. Even so, the Larafsyn’s GVD focussing works more as brute force over physics. Opening a portal to GV space takes the Larafsyn almost twice the usual time, and the GVD needs considerable greater maintenance. The burst of EM when the GV portal is opened also tends to highlight the vessel on sensors, and can serious interference with any vessel in proximity to the battlecruiser.

The battlecruiser sports above average manoeuvrability, though its shields and armour are only mediocre for a vessel of its size and value.

The Larafsyn-Kaylo carries a typical array of armaments. The main forward guns are two Dalaon 360 Heavy Lazer Projectors. The Larafsyn-Kaylo boasts twelve Gerfery 279 Heavy Lazer Cannons. This was the first vessel to be fitted with the revised on 0152-class turret mount, which was bulkier, more damage tolerant and less prone to mechanical failures. Three Solon Missile Pods are located on the dorsal hardpoints. Fifteen Rulifnoor Point Defence Turrets provide missile and fighter defence.
