EAS Vector pictured Pulsar Class History The Pulsar Class Dreadnought was built just after the Earth Minbari War as a possible replacement for the Nova Class. The Pulsars were built off of partially completed Nova hulls to test the feasiblity of a longer ranged dreadnought than the Novas. It was also a trial vessel for some of the technologies later perfected on the Omega Class. The ship also had a rotating grav deck similar to the Omega Class, positioned further aft than on the Omega. The Alpha model's weaponary was a mix of tried and true EA weapons systems. Her forward turrets held two Heavy plasma cannons each. She had six LPA's mounted on the spine, backed up by twelve SPB's (6 per side, same arcs as Omega SPB's). Aft weaponary consisted of two HPLasC. She also carried two squadrons of starfuries. The Beta Model was introduced in 2256. She carried four LPA's, 4 HLPA's and two aft firing HLC's. The Alpha Model is another one of Kreig601's versions of my ship. This one is huge (513kb!) and would definately kill off my web-space. Kreig601 does good work. I've since taught myself Adobe Illustrator and modified his to actually fit within my small web space. The Beta Model is what I thought the ship would look like around the time of the EA Civil War.
