Notes: Commissioned by the late Colton Archer, the SC Avius is the only Battleship owned directly by the Archer Family. Sporting a fully fitted weapons grid, multi-layer cyclonic shield array, and compounded alloys for hull, the SC Avius is both ready for war, and for normal function of a multi-purpose ship. The Avius's strengths include ship to ship combat, particularly in the firepower department and a direct commission agreement from the Center of Intelligence that allows clearance for unreleased prototype testing in offensive, defensive, and utility. The center three launchers are dedicated supremely to planetary bombardment. Firing warheads that range in both size and impact, the multi use tubes are not only good against stationary targets, but extremely durable. Unfortunately, such a feat could not have been accomplished with drawbacks, so the ammo for optimal use is extremely heavy, and thus takes up most of the cargo space. The cargo space is much smaller than most ships half her size, but is such made up for in the advanced weapons, navigation, and defensive technology that has been inserted into the space that would have been cargo space.
