Shogun class

The Shogun class was an Hydran heavy explorer fielded in the 24th century. Unlike its supercarrier cousins, the Shogun class was in no way involved in the constant craze for ever-greater maximum evacuation capacity craze that Hydran shipbuilding followed. As a result, its MEC was similar to other multi-vector assault mode-equipped ships fielded by the other governments. Unlike the Monarch-class supercarrier, who possessed an insanely massive MEC (29,700 people) for its size, the Shogun-class had a dismal (by Hydran standards) MEC of 6,500 people.

Unlike other heavy explorers fielded by the Hydrans in the past, it did not feature fusion beams as its designers deemed that close-quarters weaponry made the ship too dependent on escorts and, as such, would make it less capable of assuming its intended role.
