this pice was inspired by Barricades [link]
the whole spearhead design i think looks cool, and is a refresher from the classic battlestar layout. I'd tried this before on my Loki-class strikestar [link] but wanted to try it larger. and so I began work on the Seaxneat-class Battlecruiser.
i finished about 90% of it in the first day of work on it, and then the panneling progressed slowly, ending up with almost a weeks worth on and off of work.

Story:
when the Heracles class Battlecruiser was introduced, a rival contractor, Alpha foundries, begun work on a compeditor. begun designing a similar ship, but with viper content.
because of the companies agressive hording nature, it used mostly its own engineered products. most of the computer systems and guns were their own design, except for the main guns. it also used alot of older equipment, like cylon war era scanners. this made the ship easy to produce and cheap.
the ship eventually had the combined firepower of the Heracles, but in wargames, could not exert it all at once at a single target. this made the colonial navy choose the Heracles over the Seaxneat, but it still purchased two Seaxneat-class ships, because they were so cheap.
during the cylon attack, the Seaxneat was the only comissioned ship, her sister had not finished construction yet. when the cylons came, the Seaxneat was refueling off a tanker. the cylons fires a single missile at the tanker, destroying it and its volotile tylium, and the fuel in the pipeline ignited the fuel tanks of the Seaxneat. the ship was blown in half by the explosion, and most of the crew vented into space. the basestar left and cylon raiders and centurions scanned the ship for usefull items. the whole crew was lost.
