Description/Overview:
          The Lurveth Throm Type-16998 was the main space battleship of the Prodono Federation Space Forces from its inception in 1.71168 GS (330,000 BC Earth Relative).  This ship was downgraded to cruiser status when newer battleships of a more powerful type were introduced.  Prior to this downgrade, the Lurveth Throm was a formidable warship in its day.  With a wide array of fixed energy weapons and mobile weapon systems, the Lurveth Throm was able to act equally well as a command ship for small task forces or as a main fighting vessel within an armada.  The Lurveth Throm fought in numerous wars and conflicts throughout the Prodono Federation years and distinguished itself from most of the other battleships of the pre-Republic era.  It was for this reason that the Lurveth Throm class was carried over into service with the Prodono Republic forces.
          The Type-16998 used twenty-one Obuch-Ron Type-16877, 5,000-megawatt fusion reactors.  These reactors were spread over the ship in three groups. 
         The faster-than-light drive of the Lurveth Throm was a pair of D'Rhell-Feul DF-168779-2500 Super Luminal Velocity Drives.  These drives were capable of moving the ship through hyperspace at the equivalent of 0.68 light-years per hour each for a total time dilation of 1.36 light-years per hour. 
         The primary sublight engines of the warship were its pair of L'Quen-Feul HF-167888-9000 Plasma Drives. These energy-efficient drives each consumed 9,000 megawatts of power.  These drives provided a speed of KiloMACH 11.8 (8,968,000 miles per hour) each (KM 23.6 total/17,936,000 mphl). 
         The Luverth Throm was fitted with four Gruel-Khan GK-167170-5000 fusion thruster emergency/combat speed engines.  Each of these was able to propel the ship at 152,000 mph each.  Combined, the engines could propel the vessel at up to 608,000 mph total.  This speed was more than adequate to maneuver the warship within a fleet, around a planet/planetoid, and within the atmosphere of a planet.
         The weapon systems of the Luverth Throm originaly consisted of twenty space torpedo launchers, heavy laser cannons turrets, PHELAC broadside cannons, and its maw-gun, which was an EMPAC.  This armament was completely replaced after the foundation of the Federation as part of their fleet-wide rearmament and upgrade program.
         The space torpedo launchers were completely removed, as missile weapons were considered obsolete at that time.
         The ten broadside-mounted PHELAC cannon batteries were removed in order for the SLV drives to be mounted. 
         Eight Xergin-Tah Type-XT-168188 triple ion blaster cannon turrets replaced the eight triple laser cannon turrets of the Luverth Throm.  These new turrets lacked the range of the laser cannons but had far greater effect on energy-resistant armor, which had become the mainstay of most alien space navies of the Federation period.
         The main heavy weapon system of the Luverth Throm was one Pa’Zhin Mogul-Tah Type-PZMT-168999 particle accelerator cannon.  This weapon had a much greater range than the turrets of the vessel and a greater rate of fire, but consumed far more power and space than the smaller weapon systems.  This particle cannon was intended for use against capital ships and large installations like battlefactories, and was an upgrade of the EMPAC weapon that was originally mounted on this vessel.
         This mainline battleship carried an impressive array of mobile weapons including one-hundred Hai-Richon type battlesuits and one-hundred Quoren Ha’Jan type space fighters. 

         (Space King)
         This Type-16998 that became the Neo-Hebrew Space King command ship was originally under the control of Doctor Adrianne Donaldson's Cosmo Dragoon Fleet. The ship was restored at the Chi Orionis Goro Dei base in 2192 and deployed to Ross 47 during the operation to scout out the system and discover what was causing all of the stellar powers of Sol to send war fleets to the system. At one of the many battles over the Moon of Good Hope, the Prodono Federation battlecruiser was disabled by an EMP torpedo attack that left it helpless. The ship had to be abandoned by the Cosmo Dragoons and was captured by the Neo-Hebrews. The Neo-Hebrews brought the ship to the Goro Duragal and repaired it. It was then fitted with a Light Bending Shield and attached to their special forces unit operating in the Ross 47 system.
