Ship Series: The TEC Primacy Ragnarov Titan

The TEC Primacy’s flagship is the weapon-laden Ragnarov-class titan. In keeping with the Primacy’s philosophy that all enemies should be destroyed, the Ragnarov is embodiment of this ideal, as most of the ship is composed of a massive rail gun. In the time since we first looked at the Ragnarov, she’s only become more deadly with the inclusion of point-defense autocannons as part of her standard arsenal.

Armament

• 1 x Rail Gun

• 10 x Medium Autocannon Turrets (5 per side)

• 14 x Point Defense Autocannon Turrets

• 4 x Fixed Dual-Gauss Cannons

• 12 x Dual-Gauss Turrets (3 per pylon)

• 1 x Planetary Bombardment Cannon

• 4 x Heavy Missile Launcher Batteries (Optional)

• Up to 10 strikecraft squadrons (Optional)

As a counterpoint to the TEC Enclave’s Ankylon titan which focuses on defense, the Primacy goes all-in on offense. However, as powerful as the Ragnarov is, without a supporting fleet it is vulnerable to enemy assault.

Ragnarov Abilities

• Piercing Shot: The titan fires an extremely powerful, long-range shell that deals massive damage to a single target.

• Explosive Shot: The Ragnarov fires an explosive shell at a target enemy which deals area damage.

• Warpath: For a short duration, each enemy destroyed gives the Ragnarov a stacking weapon damage bonus. Defeating larger enemies grants multiple stacks.

• Novalith Cannon: Using its embedded railgun, the titan fires a devastating nuclear payload at a nearby hostile planet, inflicting massive surface damage and disabling all defensive structures for a time.

• Missile Launchers: Adds 4 heavy missile batteries to the titan.

• ** Railgun Accelerator:** Upgrades the railgun’s power system and barrel materials to greatly increase its strength.

• Rapid Autoloader: Increases the reload rate of all Physical weapons. Can be briefly overcharged to further increase cooldown.

• Targeting Array: Greatly increases the weapon range of the titan and nearby ships.
