Description

Before anyone says anything about the Archangel, yes it is the base.

Armament (for now):

- 4x 'Cestus' Twin Beam Cannon turrets - standard main guns in superfiring position. 

- 2x 'Longinus' Superheavy Thermal Conduction Cannons (may rename later) - heavy energy assault cannons mounted in between catapult arms, visible on the left model)

- 10x VLS silos - heavy missile launchers for anti-ship/siege purposes.

- 2x Micromissile Arrays - Smaller launchers, packed in arrays of 40 launchers each for a total of 80 launchers mounted on the sides of the bridge tower. Usually used for interception purposes at mid-range. Not very powerful, but efficient at taking out missiles.

- 20x 'Gladius' CIWS - Close-In Weapons Systems for intercepting missiles or smaller craft. Comes with independent radar.

Other features:

- 2x Linear Catapult - Used for launching mobile suits or fighters.

- Armoured Recovery Deck - Located on the rear of the ship, a heavily-armoured entrance to the ship's internal hangar.

- 2x Small Vehicle Bay - Separate hangars located inside the rear 'legs' allow the Judah to launch support vehicles such as helicopters or drones. Aircraft can launch from the launching pad on top, while ramps allow ground vehicles to exit from the bottom.

- 2x Energy Lifter Wings - These wings operate similarly to normal wings except the wing surface is created using an energy field. The lift produced is higher than a standard wing of the same physical size, but continued operation of these wings require a large amount of energy, which isn't really a problem for the Judah. However, the energy wings are very much visible and impossible to hide when in operation which makes it unsuitable for stealth operations. Usable in space too, and for atmospheric reentry by creating an energy field to diffuse heat around the ship.

- Laminated Armour - Warship-grade armour with an anti-beam coating to increase effectiveness against beam weapons.
