Drazi Peregrine II Class Prototype Battlecruiser

 

Class History

Part of the project that designed the Stormfalcon, the Peregrine was an experiment in hull design. One of the first ideas of the Drazi design staff was a "Super HCV", an HCV much stronger than usual, but still possessing speed and maneuverability not usually found in a capitol ship. To accomplish this, the hulls of two partially completed Warbirds were grafted together, dorsal hull of one to the dorsal hull of the other. Since there is no artificial gravity on Drazi vessels, there were no problems moving between sections of the ship. The armament was tweaked and two catapults for Sky Serpents were added in the space between the wings. The resulting ship, named the Peregrine, proved to be quite strong, obliterating a Centauri "test ship" that had wandered off too far from its battle group. Eventually the design was dropped in favor of the Stormfalcon, only the Peregrine and two other test ships remained in service, usually serving as the flagship of a warfleet. They are extremely popular with their crews, and continue to descimate most enimies they come across. Because of their strength and limited numbers all Peregrine class ships were fitted with a jump drive.

(Note: This ship was designed by Smoot on the B5 online forums some time ago. He asked me to take a crack at an SCS for it and here it is.)
