The Haizerad-class Astro Battleship is a relatively new class of warship in the Great Garmillas Empire's Astro Fleet, succeeding the older Gaiderol-class.
Armaments and Technical Specifications[]
The Haizerad was created as an improved version of the Gaiderol-class Astro Battleship. The basic design is very similar, but the Haizerad is equipped to operate in particularly difficult areas of space such as dense nebulae. It's meant to be placed as the flagship of a fleet or as the personal vessel of a cabinet minister. It's equipped with the same number of torpedo launchers and positron turrets as the Gaiderol, however, the two frontal turrets are rapid-fire weapons, making it much more powerfull than its predecessor.[3]
History[]
Lower Storm Leader Melda Dietz, along with other officers rebelling against the rule of Abelt Desler, took command of a green Haizerad-class vessel and used it to transport herself and a supply of weapons to Prison Planet 17 in order to incite an uprising and save her father, Admiral Gul Dietz. The newly freed Admiral Dietz took this ship and used it to liberate other prison planets.[4][5] Several months later, a meeting between members of the new Garmillas government and Princess Yurisha Iscandar is held on the bridge of the admiral's vessel.[6] Several of these ships participate in a fleet review in orbit around Balun, many of which are destroyed in the Battle of Balun.[7]
The Haizerad class flagship of the Imperial Guard protects Baleras II.
This class also found important applications outside the regular military. A silver Haizerad assigned to Minister of Propaganda Miezela Celestella, the Shangri-La[8], transported her and her sister Mirenel Linke to Balun for a psychic attack on the UNCN battleship Yamato; it later left Balun after the attack ended in failure.[9] A blue vessel of this class, the Kilmenaim, served as the command ship of Imperial Guard director Hydom Gimleh in 2199.[10][11]. From the bridge of the flagship, Gimleh ordered a genocidal attack on the subject planet of Alteria.[12] Months later, the ship was destroyed as Gimleh led the defense of Baleras II during the Battle of the Imperial Capital.[13]

Notes[]
- The Haizerad class ships were designed out of a production compromise, according to Chief Mechanical Director Masanori Niishi. Although it was felt that the Gaiderol-class ship should be used more than once, there was also an interest in making something new. Out of this process, the Haizerad was created as a variant on the Gaiderol with remodeled elements.[14]
