The Amagi-class battlecruisers (天城型巡洋戦s艦 Amagi-gata jun'yō-senkan) is a series of twelve limited production battlecruisers (later was redesigned as Fast BB) built for the Terran Federation Space Fleet as part of the 2662 Fleet Expansion Program to replace the previous ship losses in the Thir Bug War.
Armed with a main battery of eight 51cm MACs and possessing thrust acceleration of 770.5G, the Amagi class were intended to be the Terran equivalents to the Petolemaic Fon'tek class Dreadnought Battleships. In addition to this, they were also the first dreadnoughts of Terran design to be classified as Fast Battleships , built to match with the new dreadnought battleships built by foreign navies.
Despite being outmatched by larger super-dreadnoughts of Turian and Asari navies in protection, the Amagi class is superior to these ships in mobility and firepower.
Designed and built after the disastrous losses incurred during the Third Bug War, the Amagi-class battlecruiser is considered the next leap forward in Terran naval technology, taking lessons from the previous two wars and applying them into a singular capital ship. In those wars, commanders of Federation battleships frequently found themselves outmatched by more agile and technologically innovative enemy dreadnoughts and as consequence would suffer extensive damage and loss of life because of it. The Amagi-class battlecruiser is a warship that seeks to rectify those issues by trading armor and density of offensive firepower for speed, agility, and the implementation of advanced alien technologies sourced from their allies in the Turian Hierarchy.

Vessels of the class has a markedly improved thrust-to-mass ratio comparable to contemporary Petolemaic and Turian dreadnoughts but hold a significant advantage over either in terms of raw firepower, bearing eight fixed 510mm Elanus Naval Armory 2660 Pattern Mass Accelerator Cannons mounted in a gun pod under the ships’ bow. Each of the eight cannons can accelerate its projectile up to .01c the speed of light when utilizing conventional shell types.

In support of these, the Amagi is armed with a total of forty-eight cruiser-grade laser cannons mounted in sixteen triple-mount turrets on the dorsal and ventral broadsides. Other offensive armaments include four short-range disruptor torpedo launchers on fixed forward-facing mounts on the port and starboard, as well as an aft-facing 152mm dual-mounted turret to protect the ship’s rear, in addition to the array of thirty-two micro-missile launchers serving as the point-defense system.

As a note on the defensive abilities of the Amagi, in order to bolster the class’ speed, significant tradeoffs had to be made in terms of size and armor density, however, to think that the class is any degree more vulnerable than a traditional Federation battleship would be a mistake as the class is among the first Federation warships to utilize kinetic barrier technology as an additional layer of defense.

Other technological innovations include a completely revamped computerized fire-control system utilizing highly accurate Turian targeting suites, as well as triple-redundant hardware systems reverse engineered from Turian techs now utilized throughout the ship. However, the greatest innovation, lies in the Amagi’s hybridization of the terrestrially sourced Cherenkov Drive with an Element Zero Core to utilize the galactic Mass Relay network while significantly increasing the speed and efficiency of unassisted FTL travel to a degree greater than that of any of the Citadel races. This expands the Amagi’s theoretical range to nearly anywhere in the galaxy.

In a post Third Bug War galaxy, many alien races see the Federation as a waking giant, and to that end, there is no greater evidence than the Amagi-class battlecruiser. A modern ship built on the failures of the past to lead a mighty charge for humanity onto the galactic stage.
