Description/Overview:
           As Khazar's xenoarchaeologists studied the fleet structure of the Prodono Empire, one type of ship bothered the Sovereign Grand Inspector General. That ship was the large, unknown class of massive ship that was found on Earth's moon Luna in the 2150s by the United Nations Space Corps. The site was destroyed in the 2160s and the massive Prodono spacecraft with it, but the data on the vessel survived and was spirited off to the LaGrange base at Tyche. From this data, Khazar's Tartarian Technocracy extrapolated the capabilities of this massive, over 2000 meter long, Prodono Space Control Ship and built a dreadnought capable of meeting it in ship-to-ship combat. The result was the Yamamoto class Super Dreadnought. This Dreadnought was essentially an Epsilon Eridani class that was "doubled" in terms of hull, weapons, engines, and shielding. The discovery by Khazar that Doctor Donaldson's Cosmo Dragoons had take control of the massive Prodono Imperial Goro Yuradei mobile citadel pushed the Tartarian Technocracy into production of the Yamamoto class in 2192, just prior to the outbreak of hostilities int he Ross 47 star system. The Super Dreadnought proved to be vastly superior to the Planetary Alliance George Washington class Command Dreadnought, and so was produced in substantial numbers for the 2nd Interplanetary War effort.
