Continued from page 2.
Here is the continued listing of Star Blazers ships worth mentioning. Actually, we have tried to be as extensive as possible. This list was composed from information contained in Roman Album #53 and #54, and from simply watching the episodes and movies.
The Comet Empire base consists of a mobile fortress which is protected by a swirling vortex of white plasma, and the planets and regions of space that its military forces have subjugated. When moving, the fortress resembles a large Comet, and is virtually impregable. The plasma shield acts as both a protection device and a means of absorbing space matter for fuel. The fortress itself is a huge city built on an artificial mountain set atop a hemispherical lower shell which resembles the surface of Earth's moon. The city's diameter is 15 kilometres, and overall height of the fortess is 10 kilometres. But, with its plasma shield at full travelling strength, the diameter is about half that of Earth. At the rim of the city is a revolving belt of hundreds of plasma cannons, capable of wiping out enemy fleets at point-blank range.
Embedded under the Comet Empire city is Zordar's huge black dreadnaught. This was intended as an escape plan should Gatlantis be rendered non-functional. It is equipped with many heavy plasma cannons and one giant cannon with the apparent strength of a few Wave Motion Guns. However, the ship has no shield, and therefore Trelaina is able to dissolve it in seconds by creating a burst of antimatter over it.
This is the white double-sided fighter carrier captained by General Manic. Has two runways per side. L315m W95.5m 65500 tons. Carries both the Devastator bomber and the Eater II type fighter.
This is a green single-sided fighter carrier with only one runway. L240m W72m 51000 tons.
Probably better known as the Magna Flame Gun ship. Its principal weapon is a large plasma cannon which fires directly into a SMITE field.
The SMITE field teleports to energy to emerge at a considerable distance from its initial firing point. This gives the weapon a tremendous edge with respect to firing range, being more than twice range of a Wave Motion Gun. Warning: Do not fire in ice fields!
The main battleship of the Comet Empire is a long, slender ship with vortex-enhanced shock cannons. Cannon energy expands into a huge energy vortex upon reaching its target, thus inflicting much more damage than a concentrated beam. L310m W87.7m 63000 tons.
This is the smallest ship in the Empire's fleet, at L132m W59m 4800 tons. But, it is fast and maneuverable. It is the Fourth Battle fleet, composed of these and the Large Battleships that the Star Force wipes out with the Wave Motion gun at Brumas.
Among the missiles in this ships arsenal is the huge, planet-destroying Antimatter Missile. L240m W126m 68000 tons. This is General Torbuck's flagship.
This ship is rather uncharacteristic-looking for a Comet Empire craft. Grey and elongated, it has the ability to conceal itself in subspace.
Dezarium is a mechanised skeleton of a planet. At its core is a huge crystaline city. Scaldart disguises the planet as Earth in an attempt to trick the Star Force into surrendering. The planet is protected by a defense fleet whose flagship is the Beta Cannon-wielding Grodaze.
A huge urn-shaped fortress about as long as the Comet Empire was tall. Goruba is equipped with a full array of missiles and laser ports. It also has six large ports which can emit plasma blasts or giant missiles. The cumbersome missiles are rather inefficient in fighting ships such as the Argo which are smaller than they.
Flagship of the Dezarium defense fleet, a fleet of similar ships wielding Beta Guns (electron cannons). Their energy systems, like most other Black Nebula Empire energy systems, react violently with the tachyon-based Wave Motion energy.
These are the huge command ships which lead the Empire's territorial space fleets. The Galiades is captained by Commander Kazan of the Earth Occupation Force. While the Pleiades is destroyed in Yamato New Journey, the fate of the Galiades is left a mystery.
Looks like a Battleship class without the spiring bridge/cannon structure stacked on top. Several of these are seen docked on the Mobile Ferry at the edge of the Black Nebula.
This base is built around a bomb, ensuring the loyalty of its crew, and posing a great threat to whatever planet it is landed on. Lt. Arufon gives Nova the location of the bomb's trigger fuse.
The Bolar Federation has a large variety of battleships, cruisers, and destroyers... most of which are rather unnoteable.
Perhaps the only notable Bolar ship, this is the flagship of the Berth Defense Force led by Captain Ram. The Legendra is escorted away from an Earth base by Galman General Dagon's fleet where it is attacked and destroyed.
No information yet.
Trelaina's castle appears at first to be just a stationary floating dwelling. But, we learn that it escaped the explosion of Telezart and was able to sail through space to Earth. The interior furnishings are made of a transparent crystaline substance, probably forged by Trelaina's telekinetic powers. Its drive source seems to be gravitational.
What ships the Guardianans may have once had were probably quite powerful. But they have since willingly been hidden away and taken out of use by their peace-loving creators.
