Harbinger

From the author

The Harbinger is the Federation's Tier 3 naval capital ship and the most heavily armed vessel in its fleet. A central heavy plasma cannon handles long-range priority targets, four broadside plasma batteries cover both flanks with burst fire, a vertically launched missile system delivers a near-continuous rain of high-damage warheads, and a forward particle beam cannon rattles off rapid pulses at anything in its arc. No single system on the Harbinger is what makes it dangerous — it is the totality of fire it brings to bear all at once. Give it sea room and a target, and let it work.
