=== Overview ===
Cyrene is a large city and greater state located on the shores of the Eastern Sea and surrounding the Bay of Cyrene. Both the capital city and state of the Republic of Paxem, Cyrene is one of the most populated cities on the Doggerland bank, and currently operates both the largest port and the largest airport on the continent. It is famous for its governmental district, vibrant and multicultural downtown, modern skyline, and electricity-generating seawall.

=== Inception ===
Originally, the city was designed by architects Antonin Kaldwin and Julia Meynora as a replacement capital for the [[New Corporate Republic|Neu Corporate Republik]] after the planned destruction of [[Novenae|Novenæ]] by [[Florian Steinbauer]]. Florian Steinbauer had a significant hand in the project's design as well, especially the federal sector of the city, where the large, imposing buildings reflected his obsession with power and status. In a book published by Julia Meynora after the war, she reported that Steinbauer stated "''It needs to intimidate. It needs to show the rest of the universe that we're a force to be reckoned with.''"

After the end of the war and the defeat of the NCR, the plans for the capital were discovered in two locations - a room adjacent to Florian Steinbauer's office at the [[Chisel Enterprises]] regional headquarters in Novenæ, and within Julia Meynora's office in Neu Wiltshire. These plans were quickly requisitioned and studied by the newly formed Paxemese government, who was already preparing to construct a new capital due to the extensive damage and movements for independence in Novenæ. The design was chosen for three main reasons.

# It simplified the planning work the government would need to conduct to construct its new capitol. The city of Cyrene was already meticulously planned by the Republik government, and extensive surveys had been conducted on the site where the city was planned.
# The region the city was planned to be located in was a largely temperate, flat area with access to the Eastern Ocean. It had a natural border to the north (the Sedona mountains).
# It helped guarantee the allegiance of the Republik planners who had designed the city.

=== Initial Construction ===
Work on the city began in August of 3021. A large port was constructed first along the shores of the Eastern Sea, in order to facilitate the transport of building materials. Sedona district, the region of the city surrounding the port, was constructed first. Large amounts of temporary housing for construction workers was erected and moved as the city expanded upward towards the Sedona mountains. Ground was broken on Cyrene International Sky Harbor shortly after, with the airport being completed just a month and a half later. Work continued into late November, when construction began on the two major boulevards extending eastward into the planned Federal District. The tens of thousands of construction workers worked at a blistering pace until a workers strike caused work in Sedona District to falter and stall for around two weeks. This workers strike mostly affected Heimat Construction, a subsidiary of Chisel Enterprises, who had been lowering wages and pushing workers to finish work below budget and ahead of schedule.

=== Later Construction ===
After two weeks of stalled construction, Heimat Construction bended to the worker's demands and raised wages significantly, with the condition that the work had to continue at the same pace as before. The employees relented, both satisfied by the greatly increased wages and threatened by Heimat's proposed move towards completely automated construction during the strike. The entire ordeal costed Heimat Construction, however. After the strike, they were no longer the dominant construction company in Cyrene, with Relient Construction, a fast-growing competitor, receiving several contracts for the Federal District.

Over three months, a massive dam was constructed around the bay of Cyrene, completely separating it from the rest of the Eastern Ocean. Once finished, the bay began to be used as a coolant reservoir for the Antov L. Akimov nuclear power plant. Over a period of three weeks the water in the bay was drained until it was at an acceptable depth of seven meters deep. The water was boiled directly into steam by the power plant, while the salt was returned into the bay. This left huge salt dredges on the coastline of the bay, giving the coast its characteristic white look. The salinity of the bay is an estimated 730% the salinity of the rest of the Eastern Ocean. This makes it almost impossible to drown in the bay, and also makes the water completely undrinkable and unsuitable for filtration, except for that desalinated through the nuclear plant.

After the construction of the dam, otherwise known as the Great Oceanic Dam, work started in earnest on the giant governmental buildings in the Federal district. The Volkshalle, one of the largest buildings by internal volume to ever be created, went up in an astonishing one month. Other buildings followed suit, with the Federal district becoming operable in just three months.

In mid-3022, international corporations began to take interest in the fast-growing Arabelle district. Foreign companies with motives to leave their birth countries, like [[KAR]] and Aether Cybercomputing, began to relocate their global headquarters to the city due to the incredibly low corporate tax rate Cyrene had put in place. In a matter of four months, the number of supertall skyscrapers (skyscrapers over 300 meters) had grown to sixteen, the most of any city on the Doggerland bank.

After the migration crisis and the Ono Island disaster, a new district was designated as Canareis district, meant to contain housing the tens of thousands of immigrants migrating from the European mainland to Cyrene. Consisting largely of prefabricated Kiloblocks, Canareis District is still heavily under construction, with an estimated three of five Kiloblocks completed.

=== Present Day ===

=== Districts ===
[[File:CyreneRenderDT02.png|thumb|354x354px|An isometric view of Arabelle District as of July 3023.]]

==== Arabelle District ====
Otherwise known as downtown Cyrene, Arabelle district is the corporate hub of Cyrene. It is located directly south of the Federal district, hugging the north and east shores of the bay of Cyrene. Dozens of prominent companies have regional or global headquarters there. It is recognized as being the safest district other than the Federal District, with crime kept firmly in check by both CYPOL and private corporate security. It is also the only district other than Canareis district where skyscrapers are allowed, containing the several supertall (300m+) skyscrapers that comprise Cyrene's impressive skyline.

Arabelle District is a hotbed of construction as it continues to expand eastwards along the coastline. Contracts for available land are often snatched up in a matter of seconds, with companies such as Relient Construction, Heimat Construction, and Starkebau fiercely competing amongst themselves to deliver on projects. The buildings vary in style, with the dominant style being modern corporate aestheticism with hard lines and sharp angles, though more classical skyscrapers such as the WBC center still exist.

Arabelle District is often seen as the face of Cyrene and is most prominently featured in media about the city. It is extremely densely populated, with buildings often blocking out light to the streets below.

Arabelle is comprised of several distinct subdistricts, including South Flats Park, Midtown Cyrene, Little Sentosa, and the Waterfront.

==== Canareis District ====
Canareis district, otherwise known as Dam's End, is a mid-size proposed district located near the southern end of the Great Oceanic Dam, extending upwards towards Arabelle district. It is largely physically separated from the rest of the city except by a coastal road and tunnel. The district was proposed in early 3022 to serve as a solution to the rising crime rates within Cyrene, as well as a to serve as a housing solution for the tens of thousands of immigrants from the Novus Imperium Romanum and other countries in Eurasia. The district is to be marked by several "Kiloblocks", skyscraper-sized cheaply constructed residential buildings capable of housing thousands of residents each.

The district is designated as a "Special Legislative Zone", where only capital crimes are enforced. This is a distinct part of the 3022 Crime Bill passed by the Cyrene City Council, which also created the system of stratification and surveillance. The Special Legislative Zone is designed to concentrate the majority of organized crime in a segregated district. This means that the majority of Canareis District is a largely lawless-zone with the sole exception being the Kiloblocks, where security is often contracted out to a host of security corporations. Certain areas of the district are also subject to "gang rule", where a particular sort of judicial system is enforced by the most prominent gang in the area.

Canareis district will consist of two smaller sectors. The lowlands will be an area created from dredged seafloor leftover from the construction of the bay of Cyrene. This will be the location of the five Kiloblocks that dominate the skyline of the district. Due to its low lying nature, the area is prone to frequent floods, necessitating the inclusion of emergency floodgates on each of the Kiloblock's lowest (and main) entrances. The muck that often clogs the streets is incredibly salty due to the consistent flooding and evaporation of the high-salinity content baywater, leading to frequent painful lesions and sloughing skin on the residents unlucky enough to spend most of their time on the streets. This area is dimly lit and has many industrial alleys and corridors where robbers and other dangerous criminals lie in wait.

The second area is the red light district, Cyrene's haven for brothels, unregulated drug sale, and normally-illegal cybernetic modifications. This area, also known as "Dam's End" (due to its location being at the southern end of the Great Oceanic Dam), is notably cleaner than the Lowlands, but is just as dangerous, due to the high concentration of the drug and prostitution trade in the area. This is also the area that many individuals who do not live in the district will go to, in order to get a taste of the "dangerous life". These tourists are often the targets of pickpocketing.

Murder and other capital crimes, while still being nominally illegal in the district, occur regularly, only infrequently enforced during crackdowns by CYPOL. The corporations and gangs who maintain the small pockets of law and order are known for being corrupt and regularly accept bribes. Due to the prevalence of more serious crimes, three out of four people in the district are armed.

==== Federal District ====
 
==== Sedona District ====
Located west and north of the Federal district, Sedona District stretches to the Zaandam border, and is by far the largest district in the city, comprising the vast majority of the land allocated to the capital state. Primarily comprised of suburban development, rolling fields, and pine forests, it is bordered to the north by the Sedona mountain range, to the east by Zaandam, to the south by the Eastern Ocean, and to the west by the Federal district. Notable landmarks in the district are Cyrene Sky Harbor, Palazio Bay, and the Port of Cyrene. 60% of the district consists of protected nature preserves, and the area is famous for its hiking and skiing. Sedona has regularly topped polls for the most beautiful natural areas of the Doggerland.

Sedona district is also known the high property prices of it's affluent neighborhoods, many of which serve as the residences of notable Paxemese politicians and corporate figures. Pulaski, Palazio Bay, and Georgetown, the first, second and fourth most expensive suburban areas on the Doggerland bank, are located within the district. 

==== Cicero Isle ====
Cicero Isle is a protected island located in the middle of the bay of Cyrene, known for its black sand beaches caused by a locally high concentration of the mineral [[wikipedia:Magnetite|magnetite]] in the sediment there. Prior to 3023, travel to the island was heavily restricted and based off a monthly quota due to the sensitivity of the region's environment and its untouched nature. Precedence to visit was given to research organizations and those who had made donations to the National Park Service, who were responsible for the island's maintenance.

In May of 3023, the island was bought by Chisel Enterprises for an undisclosed sum. The island was closed off to all visitors after the purchase.

The Troika (Chisel Enterprises Global Headquarters)

=== Overview ===
[[Chisel Enterprises]]' Global Headquarters is a large three-building skyscraper complex located in downtown [[Cyrene]], [[Republic of Paxem|Paxem]]. The towers flank [[Morsehead Plaza]] on three sides, with the fourth open to the [[Bay of Cyrene]]. The headquarters serves as the administrative center for the Chisel Enterprises Megacorporation. CEO [[Stanford Wesker|Stanford Wesker's]] office is located in the middle tower, designated Troika 02.

=== Construction ===
Construction on the Troika began on February 2, 3022. The three towers making up the complex were some of the first structures to make up the downtown Cyrene skyline. A large concrete base had to be poured, as the bank along the bay of Cyrene was deemed to be too soft for the weight of the three buildings, which are primarily made out of the incredibly heavy Bonitañan Glass. These buildings were the first major constructs to be made out of this building material, with 90% of the exterior building material being Bonitañan Glass.

The primary construction firm for the project was the C.E. subsidiary Heimat Construction, which completed the building to specifications two months behind schedule. The construction process was marred by the 3021 construction worker's strike which stagnated construction schedules across the entire city. Heimat Construction blamed the strike for the two month delay.

=== Design ===
[[File:TroikaRender02.png|thumb|431x431px|Troika 01, 02, and 03.]]
The Troika is designed in the monumental, unornate style that would become emblematic of Cyrene's skyline. Each building is a roughly trapezoidal prism, steeply sloping up to a flat roof which houses two large landing pads. The front of each building is completely windowless, uniform, and somewhat reflective. The rear face is built from darkly painted concrete, and is peppered with open apertures, some of which are balconies, and some serving as entrance ports of aerial vehicles. The triangular and brightly Chisel Enterprises logo is emblazoned on the front of the middle building.

The interior of the buildings are similarly darkly colored. The main lobby of each building is a cathedral-like space, brightly lit by white OLED ceiling lights. The effect is a harsh lighting style which starkly illuminates the the floor of the room, but leaves the upper areas shadowed.

The buildings have been the subject of mixed reception. Some praised them for their futuristic, functional, and revolutionary style. The Troika is showcased positively in the Cyrene Museum of Architecture's main exhibit on corporate style throughout history.

Others have critiqued the buildings for being intentionally oppressive and imposing, making the viewer feel uncomfortable both outside and within. Jacques LeFou, famed [[Marino|Marinan]] architect, stated of the complex: "One feels as if they are standing before a monument, some kind of [[wikipedia:Ozymandias|Ozymandian]] structure meant to showcase power at the expensive of the common citizen. The building detracts from the average visitor's experience, it does not add to it."

=== Buildings ===
All three buildings are nearly identical from the exterior, with the only large-scale perceptible difference being the triangular C.E. logo on the front of Troika 02. All buildings have 12 AV garages accessible from entry ports on the upper rear face and two landing pads on their roofs.

==== Troika 01: Research ====
Troika 01 houses a variety of research facilities, and is completely closed to the public. Various forms of scientific research are undertaken in the facility, including pharmaceutical research, physics, and nuclear technology. There is an experimental [[wikipedia:Fusion_power|Fusion]] reactor located below the tower.

==== Troika 02: Administrative ====
Troika 02 houses the administrative function of the Chisel Enterprises Megacorporation, and is seen as the primary tower of the complex, despite being almost visually identical to the others from the outside. The lobby of this building is the most impressive, being over thirty meters tall and including a reflecting pool, several sitting areas, and exhibits on several famous Chisel Enterprises creations. The lobby is open to the public, but requires a security screening to enter. The rest of the building is closed.

Troika 02 contains a large amount of office space for the various divisions of the company, conference rooms, and recreational spaces such as indoor atriums. Notable floors of the buildings are floors 60-61, which house C.E.'s Corporate Intelligence division, and floor 84, which contains Stanford Wesker's office.

==== Building 03: Conference/Mixed Use ====
Troika 03 contains a large conference center taking up 30 of its 90 floors. This includes a massive indoor atrium containing over 550 species of plants from various biomes. The building also has a hotel, indoor pool, and houses a number of offices. Chisel Enterprises subdivisions Heimat Construction and ChisTek are notably based from this building. 

=== Security ===
The Troika is one of several corporate buildings in Cyrene authorized to employ the use of defensive surface to air missile launchers. In addition, the building is also very resistant to exterior damage due to the large use of Bonitañan glass in its construction, an intentional design choice which has been replicated by numerous other corporations in Cyrene for security reasons. The complex makes use of Rapiscan security equipment to screen entrants.

Republic of Paxem

2023-09-03T23:11:09Z

Chisel2: edited history

The Republic of Paxem, or simply, Paxem, is a nation primarily located on the Eastern side of the [[Doggerland|Doggerland Bank]]. It consists of one capitol state and five depency states (formerly 6, before Novenæ gained independence from the country). It is the second-largest country on the Doggerlands by land mass after the [[Oscdean State]], and the largest by population. Its capitol and most populous city is Cyrene, which is also the most populous city on the continent.

== History ==

=== Founding (3021) ===
The Republic of Paxem was officially founded on August 1st, 3021, following the dissolution of the [[New Corporate Republic|Neu Corporate Republik]]. Directly after the coup d'etat which saw Republik Chancellor [[Florian Steinbauer]] removed from power and arrested, a group of political theorists, businessmen, and revolutionary figures convened in [[Novenae|Novenæ]] to draft the framework for the new nation. After less than a week, the [https://docs.google.com/document/u/1/d/e/2PACX-1vQ7Tj6E_rtYXNeD0cgUlL-Ymg9EVqKCFsYEPwhgXm2PR-kZ75xY6-tCXu0mKD-EOZFa5Oyqc53tNyRW/pub Paxemese Constitution] was finalized and signed by all at the convention, coming into law on August 7th, 3021. Each ex-Republik state held popular referendums on whether to join the nation, with Novenæ, [[Aquinas]], [[Senones]], [[Zaandam]], and Neu Wiltshire (now [[Winden]]) becoming member states of the new republic, with Novenæ being the capital.

=== Formative Years and Construction of Cyrene (3021-3022) ===
Most scholars accept the date of August 1st, 3021, as the official date of Paxem's founding, despite the nation's constitution coming into effect almost a week later. Mycroft Morsehead gave a speech on this date, announcing the dissolution of the Neu Corporate Republik, Florian Steinbauer's arrest, and the formation of the new nation, before his speech was cut short by an assassination attempt. Over the next week, over two hundred people convened in the main chamber of the partially-gutted Novenite Parliament building, working to establish a functional system of government, while the transitory military government led by Heint Strömbar held the nation in a state of absolute [[wikipedia:Martial_law|martial law]]. Upon the establishment of the constitution, Strömbar's government relinquished power to the new government, led by Mycroft Morsehead and a temporary parliament of three hundred individuals elected from the dependencies.

Two weeks later, this temporary Parliament was replaced by the first Paxemese Senate, consisting of 10,000 members voted from districts within each of the dependencies and Cyrene. This election, conducted with the help of the Wiltshire Elections Authority, was the largest election to have taken place since the fall of the Federation. The election coincided with the start of construction of the city of Cyrene, namely the Federal District, which would house the newly-appointed Senate. While construction was underway, the Senate was forced to meet online as there was no building large enough to house it. This presented issues in the Senate's first major vote on whether to allow Triumverat Mycroft Morsehead to select the other two members who would join him as the executive leaders of the country.

The Triumverate was officially announced on October 18th, with the three members being revolutionary figure Mycroft Morsehead, Zaandam Mining Corporation CEO Donna Winters, and Neurosurgeon Kotomichi Satoro. All members of the Triumverate were in some way connected to anti-Republik activities and

== Dependency of Zaandam ==
Zaandam, officially the Dependency of Zaandam, is a state within the [[Republic of Paxem]]. Located in the Eastern Doggerlands, the state is one of the most massive by area, but is sparse in population. The land features a variety of geography, hosting both fresh water from its mountain ranges and pine forests in the North, and salt water from the East Sea, resulting in brackish marshes unique to Zaandam. The four municipalities in Zaandam are the capital, San Benito, Cumming, Zaandam Port, and Zaandam Valley.

=== History ===
Founded in 3018 as part of the [[Almere Socialist Republic]] (ASR), the state was quickly annexed by the [[United Cities of Greater Bonitana]] (UCGB) in the [[October Conflict]] on Nov. 2nd, 3018. This newfound nationality would not last long, as on Jan. 3, 3019 the UCGB was dissolved and succeeded by the [[Eastern Federal Republic]] (EFR) of which Zaandam would become a Federal Subject (FS).

=== Geography ===
The southern part of the state is a mostly flat, arid region bisected by a few rivers and a lake. A few hills and small table mountains are also present. San Benito, the capital of Zaandam, is located in this southern region. The climate becomes more temperate and cold further north, with forests and meadows of pine trees, oaks, and beech trees. At the north is the Zaandam Valley, a valley formed by an ancient volcanic crater. The mountains in the valley are large but not significantly high, and it snows at the top of them due to the relatively low temperatures. A highway passes through Zaandam and the valley, and a road from Novenae that traverses through Asunda also enters the valley via a small canyon, which is also the location of Cumming, a small town.

=== Industry ===
Zaandam also is home to the Kriegsmarine East Sea fleet, which boasts an impressive number of Paxemese naval ships. The Paxemese Navy is the largest employer in Zaandam.

Zaandam Machining Company, owned by Paxemese Triumverate Donna Winters, is a large employer in the state. This company was forcefully shut down by the Neu Corporate Republic towards the end of the Great War due to a refusal to produce arms but has since restarted operations under the reforms brought by Paxem.

Circa 3019.}}The Cyrene-Class Battlecruiser is a large Paxemese airship serving in the Paxemese Navy.

Originally a class of airship constructed to match their Oscdean equivalents in the C.E.-Oscdean war, the Cyrene Class (formerly known as the Albatross-class Kampf-Zeppelinkruiser) is a capitol ship primarily designed for capitol ship combat, surface bombardment, and large scale ground assault operations.

== History ==
The Albatross-class was designed in early 3019 by Chisel Dynamics, the research and design subsidiary of Chisel Enterprises. Work began on August of 3019, twelve ships were completed by the end of 3019, with two being completed in January 3020. These ships are the Nachtfalter, Greta, Wespe, Libelle, Jäger, Titan, Stand and Deliver, Forthright, Anna, Klause, Geörg, Fayette, Leö and Benét-Mercié. Six more Albatross-Class ships were completed by the end of August 3020.

The Albatross-class served extensively in the Great Corporate War, with vessels of the class participating in numerous orbital engagements, the invasion of Ecclesia, the (unsuccessful) invasion of Ecclesia, and the glassing of Bonitaña, along with countless other conflicts.

Following the war, ten ships remained in varying levels of damage. Four were scrapped as part of the Paxemese military reduction act, with two being sold to serve as converted cargo ships. The four remaining ships underwent repairs, were retrofitted, and returned to military service in April of 3022. They were renamed as the "Cyrene-class Battlecruiser" as a part of Paxem's general military reclassification initiative.

== Weapon Systems ==
The Cyrene-Classes weapons were originally designed for surface bombardment and anti-ship capabilities. The main 2.5m guns are the largest Terran-made caliber of gun currently in service, with the vessel equipped with six guns in three ventral turrets, as well as six more in six side-mounted turrets. The ship also has dozens of other cannons, varying from smaller auto-cannons to large anti-ship cannons. These guns were retained by the Paxemese navy following the retrofit, making the vessel one of the only ships in the Paxemese Navy to use large-caliber anti-capitol ship guns as one of its main offensive armaments.

Following the 3022 retrofit by the Paxemese navy, the two ventral bomb bays on the underside of the craft and the original missile silos on top were replaced by a total of thirty silos for ASsM-15 "Archangel II" anti-ship missiles. The underside-mounted canister launchers on the original craft, originally meant for robot deployment, were replaced by similarly sized silos for ASsm-10 "Basalt" anti-ship or AAM-500 anti-aircraft missiles.

Ten "Alexiares" CIWS guns were added to the ship following the 3022 retrofit after it was determined that the vessel was particularly susceptible to aircraft.

One Type-8 plasma lance was added to all existing vessels in the late Great Corporate War by the NCR. This was retained in the Paxemese retrofit, and two Type-9 plasma lances were added for increased surface threat elimination capabilities.

== Troop/Aircraft Compliment ==
Meant to also serve as a platform for ground assault, the Cyrene-Class holds space for two thousand marines and two hundred armored and unarmored vehicles. These can be deployed by two ramps mounted on the main body of the craft, just beside the substructure.

Forrestal-class Heavy Destroyer

Chisel2: added links

The Forrestal-class heavy destroyer is a Paxemese series of warships which was put into service after the fall of the [[New Corporate Republic|Neu Corporate Republik]]. At just over seven hundred meters long, it is the third-largest airship in the Paxemese Navy, after the [[Albatross Class Kampf-Zeppelinkruiser|Cyrene-class Battlecruiser]] and Paxem-class Battlecarrier. It is named after Paxemese Rear Admiral Markus T. Forrestal.

== Design ==
Like many other warships built for the Paxemese Navy following the Great Corporate War, the Forrestal-class originated from late-war era Republik ship plans for a "interceptor-type heavy cruiser". This type of cruiser was designed for armament and speed, with its engine to total mass ratio being the highest of any Republik-era warship. The reason for this was to allow for the ship to intercept and destroy [[Oscdean State|Oscdean]] cargo craft and their escorts on their way from the Sol Debris Field to [[Terra]]. Consequently, the Forrestal-class is among the fastest warships in the Paxemese fleet despite its large size. This has permitted it to act in a "conflict first response role", with Forrestal-class warships being permanently on alert to respond to national security threats.

The ship is built in a "dagger-design" typical of Star Destroyers used by the [[Dark Angels]], which permits for maximum frontal fire from the vessel's cannons. Consequently, the original vessel as planned by the NCR was particularly vulnerable to rear attacks - this was rectified by the Paxemese Navy by removing several of the gun batteries originally planned for the vessel and replacing them with vertical launch missile batteries.

== Weapon Systems ==
The Forrestal-class is designed to serve in an anti-surface and anti-airship role, and has many different types of weapon systems which allow it to fulfill a variety of missions. The ship's main offensive weapons are its forty-two VLS (vertical launch system) batteries, each containing a 4x2 cell pattern. Each cell contains a single ASsM-10 "Basalt" anti-ship/surface missile or four AAM-500 "Backfire" anti-aircraft missiles, depending on their configuration. The ship also has 32 RBM anti-aircraft missile launchers lining the side alleys of the vessel and the superstructure.

In addition to its missile systems, the vessel also has eight turrets, each containing four 500mm Mark 50 railguns for surface bombardment and close-combat anti-ship warfare. Mounted on the side alleys of the vessel and the superstructure are a total of twenty 130mm multi-purpose Mark 55 cannons, used for anti-aircraft and anti-ship combat. Located on the ventral axis of the craft are two Type-9 plasma lances for surface glassing operators or pinpoint surface threat destruction.

Finally, the Forrestal-class has five multi-purpose Mark 12 launchers for ASSuT-10 "Kingfisher" torpedoes or ASuB depth charges mounted on the underside, for anti-ship and submarine warfare.

== Superstructure ==
The superstructure of the vessel is particularly large, forming distinct rising levels which culminate in an elongated-hexagonal bridge structure mounted atop the "conning neck". The raised bridge provides excellent visibility at the cost of vulnerability - a secondary bridge is located deep within the center of the ship in the event that the primary bridge is destroyed or too damaged to adequately direct the vessel.

Mounted atop the superstructure, just before the bridge, is the Forrestal-class's powerful THEIA forward radar array, which assists in navigation, threat detection, and targeting.

== Operational History ==
Four ships of the Forrestal-class have been constructed as of 3023, with one more ordered and expected to be completed by April 3024. These ships are:

As of 3023, the only ship to see active combat was the SLS Sepulcre, which engaged in a surface bombardment of an ex-NCR loyalist bunker located in the northern [[Bonitana|Bonitañan]] wasteland.
