Description
There are five main types of warships in the Humanasol League Fleet: corvettes, destroyers, light cruisers, heavy cruisers, and battleships. These warships are supplemented by numerous types of auxiliary ships such as fleet tenders, tugs, hospital ships, and various sizes of armed freighters.
Battleships are the largest and most heavily armed warship type. Forming only 1% of the total number of warships in the fleet, they serve as flagships for each of the nine sector fleets. Battleships are not capable of landing on planetary surfaces. They carry noticeably more smallcraft than heavy cruisers, usually including three entire gunboat squadrons. The "Upholder of Honor" class is the only battleship class currently serving in the Humanasol League Fleet. The most famous example is the "Upholder of Honor" which serves as the flagship of the entire fleet. It is the command and control ship for the High Command staff as they travel among the various sector fleets. As such, battleship "Upholder of Honor" forms the core of the largest task force in the fleet. Further battleship development is on hold until testing is complete on the single, experimental "Fortress of Fearlessness" class battle cruiser.

By my count, this is the 6th version of the "Upholder of Honor" that I have posted on Renderosity. This latest, and hopefully final, version is smaller, slimmer, and less technologically advanced than all the versions that have preceded it. The "Upholder of Honor," along with the "Gewaltikh," are my two designs that are meant to fit into the classic speculative spaceship design genre of giant space battleships.
Amazing!
Okay so the human is not quite a speck yet. Nicely done, the whole series.
GRAND!!! David
