Characteristics

Majestic-class heavy cruisers were incredibly durable; their thick armor and shields were equal to the previous generation of Imperial-class Star Destroyers. This armor and shield power gave them the ability to close with the enemy to exchange close-range fire. Like other New Class ships, the Majestic also boasts superior fire control systems compared to contemporary Imperial ships with heavy guns of the same power. With this ability, the Majestic can score as many hits at long range as an Imperial-class Star Destroyer can at medium ranges and can remain at that range as long as it has space to evade the Imperial ship. These ships were also equipped with Class 1 hyperdrives, capable of 90-second spin-up times. Is also capable of carrying five squadrons of starfighters.

Capabilities

With thicker armor and shields, the Retribution, is able to start painting their target at longer range and continue that onslaught the closer it gets to its target.

Role in the Warhost

The Retribution serves the Sadowan navy in many capacities. As a versatile and well-equipped heavy cruiser, it is capable of acting alone, as the main ship of a task force, or as as support for one of the Clan's star destroyers. As such, the Retribution has always been used wherever the Clan needed it. It is often preferred over larger ships when primarily space engagements are expected. The Retribution is also classified as one of the four primary fleet carriers of the Warhost, carrying five squadrons of fighters. Finally, it carries a small group of troops and supporting vehicles, allowing for ground incursions if absolutely necessary.

Currently, the Retribution is the headquarters and command ship of the House Marka Ragnos Summit, providing them with a versatile capital ship to fit their needs.

History

The Retribution has been an integral part of the Warhost Navy, after being first introduced into the fleet after Horizons. Phase 1 of Fading Light saw the Retribution getting between the Iron Thrones fleet and the extraction point of the Consul’s group on Bosthirda. This move prevented the fleet from commencing an orbital bombardment of Xlopora City, giving the Consul’s group time to board a MAAT gunship and escape the coming destruction. During GJW XI, the Retribution was engaged in a three way melee over Korriban. Suffering heavy damage she limped home behind the rest of the fleet. Because of the lack a shipyard or repair site big enough to repair her quickly, she is currently being slowly repaired by the Verpine in Sadowan employ.

During the events of the military operation entitled Ashes Fall, the Retribution fought alongside the KSD Damnation, the ISDII Harbinger and the VSDII Covenant against three enemy ISD II Star Destroyers that had entered the blockaded Orian System. These ships, controlled by the Dominion, were routed due to the timely intervention of the KSD Damnation, destroying two and leaving the third one to escape.
