Terra Nova

The Terra Nova is a Scion-Class colony-ship, one out of what would be three built over the following century. It carried all of humanity, Silharae and Gündar through the Exodus Starway under its own power, using advanced Ta'khaiel translight technology, they were able to return without the use of a Space-Crease gate.

The Terra Nova would be the largest ship ever built, at nearly 1500 kilometers in length and 440 kilometers across after refitting for unforseen translight requirements, it was made to house a trillion souls at maximum capacity, for sustainment without resupply for two centuries.

While not meant for engagement with enemy forces, it was designed to absorb substantial damage through overlapping shielding and Valantium infused AA-Alloy, far more defensive capability than the other two in her class would ever carry.

Her weaponry compliment was made up of mainly close-in weapons systems, missile batteries and several heavy rail batteries, lining the dorsal and ventral sides of the ship.

In addition to the plating, the ship would act as a mobile port-at-space, allowing for repairs and refitting on the go, and would likewise act as a massive docking hub.

She would be essential in leading the way for the Coalition of Freedom's return to the Milky Way and also leading the first exploratory extragalactic expedition to Andromeda in tens of thousands of years.

History
The Terra Nova was the first in Project: Scion to produce a ship that could be the center of the Coalition's efforts to retake the Milky Way. While at first designed to be a ship for exploratory purposes, it was refitted from just a colonyship to a fortress.

Able to take massive amounts of punishment, the Terra Nova's redundant barriers would never see a full breach in their service, nor the plating a single scratch from combat.

It served as a mobile base of operations from its exit location in Sol all the way to the doorstep of the Entity Homeworld''. ''
