Description

Atlantis Class Union of Worlds Ballistic Sub:

 

Overview: The Atlantis is the Unions ballistic submarine and both a powerful tool for striking enemy forces on planet and also acting as anti orbital defense on far flung Union worlds. While large and lumbering the Atlantis is surprisingly stealth, able to manuver quite well although it is fairly slow, still it can hide in immense crush depths on the sea floor to avoid detection or even reprisal from attack including from orbital attack. Using its torpedoes only as self defense its main payload is its 40 Liberator Ballistic missiles both capable of anti ground and anti space use with their fusion warheads. While it does need to be near the surface to launch these missiles the Atlantis can rapidly dive to defend itself from return fire.

Armament: The Atlantis is armed with 40 Torpedoes with 8 forward firing tubes and 4 rear firing tubes. The Torpedo in question fired is the Swordfish a super cavitating torpedo capable of rapid speeds and able to inflict crippling or total destruction on enemy vessels across a wide range of target types. It can also fire Thunder sea to surface missiles capable of Mach 8 and meter precision for use against even hardened ground targets giving the Furious capability to strike land targets undetected. Its primary armament however is 40 Liberator Ballistic missiles each capable of delivering anywhere from 5KT to 40MT thermonuclear weapons to anywhere on the planet or into orbit to use against enemy starships, each missile comes with decoys and its own small point defense.


Defences And Amour: The Atlantis is plated with sound dampening hull parts to cover the minimal noises from its already near total electric drive engine and it can protect from crushing pressures as well as near torpedo/depth charge detonations. The Atlantis also carries 8 torpedo launched decoy units as well as 12 noise maker units it can deploy.

 

Electronic abilities: The Atlantis is equipped with a AI with its core being cooled by internal liquid coolant flow, the Atlantis can also detect neutrino output from certain reactor types underwater and on the surface to engage and if needed can fully interface with the Union grid to get updates or confirm mission parameters.

 

ECM systems: The Atlantis mounts ECM units but only for surface operations in dire situations.

 

Speed: Due to its large size but powerful engine the Atlantis can actually achieve an impressive speed of around 25mph while submerged.

I was wondering, how are ships of the Union Oceanic fleet sent to new planets? Or do they stay on the same planet where they're built? And how many planets in the Union have oceans?

Many of the ships are used in planetary defense roles, with most Union worlds indeed having large bodies of water.

When transported to new worlds FTL beacons are set up on either end, and specialist FTL drives are used, allowing the ships to essentially jump across to the new world without say materialising 400m underwater or a few miles in the sky etc.
