The Furious class dreadnought has been designed as an major improvement over the previous Repulse class. The weapons systems have been up-rated, the hull armour is of a much thicker quality plus the shielding is a general improvement. Each compartment is pressure independent, making hull breaches less of a problem. The fighter bay, slung underneath the Section just after the large nose, is capable of holding 20 assault craft of various types. It has been intended that the Terran Alliance Navy will decommission one of their Repulse classes, once its replacement Furious class of the same name is introduced.
