Indomitus

Description

The Indomitus is an Orion Hegemony capital warship, a kilometre-scale dreadnought serving as the fleet flagship for the Caliban Prime campaign. It carries an embarked infantry force, orbital railgun batteries for Hellpod launches, and orbital lance weapons for surface bombardment. The ship is commanded by Admiral-class flag staff, with Draven's ground forces operating from its launch bays. The Indomitus is the vessel from which Draven's squad is fired to Caliban Prime in Hellpods at the opening of the campaign.

Capabilities

• Kilometre-scale dreadnought hull; heavy armour and void shields
• Orbital railgun batteries for Hellpod salvo launches
• Orbital lance batteries for precision surface bombardment
• Carries embarked ground forces, armoured vehicles, and drop equipment
• Fleet flagship with full command-and-control suite
• Long-range communication arrays for deep-space fleet coordination

Weaknesses / Counters

• Orbital bombardment capability is politically constrained, Valka's command authority governs when orbital lances may fire
• As a flagship, destruction or capture would be catastrophic to Hegemony command structure
• Not designed for close planetary atmosphere operations

Known Users

• Orion Hegemony fleet command
• Commander Kael Draven's embarked ground forces (B1)

Notes

• The Indomitus is the B1 flagship; the B2 flagship is the Sovereign's Will, see sovereign-will.md
• The two vessels appear to be sister ships of the same dreadnought class, both described as kilometre-scale
• Orbital lance batteries of the Indomitus are the same weapon type used by the Sovereign's Will to bombard Draven's position in B2 Ch.11
