Battleship 27

The first vessel to carry Rex into the stars. Battleship 27 is a 3rd generation battleship that has been retrofitted to carry Rex's war form. In order to accomplish this the primary missile bunker and the primary fuel tank had to be retrofitted as a belt. The armor and weapons complement was also increased and a small hangar for interceptors was added. In all, the armor was increased by 20%, the weapons count was increased by 40%, and 30 interceptors were incorporated into the design. The only downgrade was the nuclear missile count which was reduced by 65%. Battleship 27 served as the transport ship for Rex for nearly forty years until the Tyrant's Bane could finish construction and trials.
