HIMS Decimator

Summary
His Imperial Majesty's Ship Decimator is one of the largest, and probably the most heavily armed, vessels in the Galaxy. Command centre for the Imperial Navy, the Decimator has highly advanced command and control systems plus the ability to perform complete overhauls of Patrol Ships and emergency repairs to Battlecarriers. As a City Ship the Decimator provides a Member of Parliament as its Captain. By convention this is always the Admiral of the Fleet (currently Augustus Victor).

Crew and Life Onboard
As a City Ship the Decimator has a very large crew, though thanks to neuro-synaptic technology most of the ship's functions can be controlled by as few as 10. Unlike the Battlecarriers the Decimator has (by the standards of the Empire) a large number of luxuries, the most obvious of which are the Marine's artificial training areas. As the flagship and HQ of the Imperial fleet the Decimator houses the Admiralty and Marine HQ. The Decimator is also the primary repair facility for Navy vessels, though badly damaged Battlecarriers must use the HIMS Navis for extensive repairs. The Decimator also houses extensive medical facilities and has acted as a disaster relief ship in the past.

Combat Capabilities
Whilst the Decimator has formidable conventional armaments its coup de grace is the Critical Energy Plasma Lance, which is easily capable of destroying a battleship with a single direct hit or scouring the atmosphere off a planet in minutes. With weapons and armour eclipsing that of even the mighty Belisarius-class the Decimator is a force to be reckoned with.
