	The poster-ship for Battlefleet Gothic, the Emperor carries four Launch Bays worth [[Fury Interceptor\|fighters]] and [[Starhawk Bomber\|bombers]], which are supplemented by a suite of [[macrocannon]]s for ship-to-ship combat. Hence, it is more accurate to state that the Emperor is a <s>Carrier Battleship</s> Battlestar rather than a true Aircraft Carrier due to its heavy armaments. This means that the ''Emperor'' can reliably put the hurt on enemies at extreme range, and in-universe accounts for the versatility and self-sufficiency of the class.

	Battleships are the most powerful non-unique vessels available to your fleet, and potent threat. All battleships are enormous, lumbering vessels with low manoeuvrability, and can't use the high-energy turn. As a result, despite their immense power they're not great brawlers, and are most comfortable engaging in broadside duels at mid-range.

	Other squadrons move from star system to star system, staying for a few months or years to complete their mission, refuel, and resupply before making the jump to their next destination. During the squadron's assignment to a system, a large flotilla of sub-stellar craft constantly surround the battleships, moving to and from the system's planets and moons. They supply the ships with food, fuel, ore, raw materials, personnel, and all the other necessary supplies, that these huge spaceships, each the size of a large city, require for their upkeep. In battle, the long-range of a Gothic battleship's [[Vortex Missile\|vortex torpedos]] make it a dangerous opponent, often able to launch one or more attacks before an enemy ship can get within range to return fire.

	The Oberon is an early variant of Emperor Class Battleship that was designed to be able to deal with any threat and therefore does not need to be escorted by a squadron of frigates. Not that frigates help against anything that can take on a battleship. And destroyer swarms aren’t so effective when your prey can wipe you all out literally hours or more before you’re in range for your torpedoes.		The Oberon is an early variant of Emperor Class Battleship that was designed to be able to deal with any threat and therefore does not need to be escorted by a squadron of frigates. Not that frigates help against anything that can take on a battleship. And destroyer swarms aren’t so effective when your prey can wipe you all out literally hours or more before you’re in range for your torpedoes.

	The Hybrid of the Battleships, the ''Oberon'' features heavy [[Lance]]s, [[Macrocannon]]s, and two fighter bays carrying your dog standard [[Fury Interceptor]]s, [[Starhawk Bomber]]s and [[Shark Assault Boat]]s, on top of its usual [[Torpedo]]s. A somewhat rare class of ship in-universe, the Imperial Navy still considers the Oberon a success due to its self-sufficiency. While it may not be able to duke it out in a straight fight with other Battleships, its armaments make it a terror to smaller ship classes. That said, if there are other carriers with it (which there probably would be due to it only having two attack craft hangars), then it'll probably be able to hit like an Emperor-class but also with a lance deck.

	Nevertheless, the Oberon is now rarely used in major fleet engagements, the more specialized ships being preferred by many Imperial Admirals. It is used instead for patrolling dangerous areas, where its ability to multi-task comes into its own. It can be a base for patrolling squadrons of attack craft, then taking the fight directly to the encountered enemy. It's also equipped with a superior long range sensor probe which allows it to detect and analyze threats long before being detected by the enemy, granting it a significant tactical advantage in such circumstances. Due to this, it can patrol large areas with only a small, or no escort, freeing those ships for other duties. In short, if you can only take a single battleship and aren't expecting mass engagements, you can't go wrong with the Oberon.

	What one gets when you cram as many [[macrocannon]]s on a hull as humanly possible, with some [[lance]]s and [[Torpedo\|torpedoes]] for flavor, the Retribution is as close to the Imperial Navy can get to a bruiser, capable of comfortably duking it out with opponents at medium-to-long ranges.

	The Retribution features the distinctive armoured prow of the Imperial Navy which allows it to speed headlong at the enemy fleet, ignoring all but the heaviest fire brought against it. The ship is also as fast as the main cruisers of the Imperial Fleet. Being able to keep up with them gives extra support that can be vital in a fleet engagement.
