At one point, thousands of years ago, the Unyielding Victory-class Fleet Destroyer was the crowning achievement of the Atlantean Navy. Currently, there are only three Unyielding Victory-class Fleet Destroyers in service with the Atlantean Navy: Angelus, Ascendant Justice, and Atlantis Rising; three having been mothballed or turned into museums. One, the Gladiasta is an Academy training vessel. Of the three currently in service, Atlantis Rising acts as the Imperial Flagship, transporting the Emperor where ever he see fit; the Ascendant Justice is Fleet Commander Nekuza's flagship; and the Angelus is the flagship of Vice Fleet Commander Ookami Jasaica (better known as InuYasha Sanyo).
These ships, despite their immense size, handle relatively well, even in gravity wells. This is due to the Atlanteans' use of advanced anti-gravity systems, which negate some of the effects of a gravity well. Again, only some of the effects are negated. These systems work by emitting an anti-gravity field similar to a repulsor. Although similar, the anti-gravity field surrounds the ship when inside a gravity well, and also operates at minimum power in deep space to provide a more friction-free environment. This is the reason Atlantean ships are often said said to "simply glide."

When operating in the "empty" depths of space, small banks of RCS (reaction control system) thrusters enhance her maneuverability. Another feature are her engines: thrust-vectored ducts that can act independently of one-another. This feature is present on many Atlantean ships, and is often used to decrease a ship's turning radius. Another unique feature of Atlantean starships is that their engines can be throttled independently, an example would be port engines all ahead full, starboard engines all back full, which when coupled with thrusters to starboard, causes the ship to turn on it's central axis . . . or at least try to (forward movement is a factor, after all).

Atlantean ships use an FTL system that is unique in the galaxy. Known as Sliplight, it allows a ship to travel from one point in the galaxy to another in a shortened period of time, from a matter of minutes, to several days, depending on distance. Slipspace works by essentially "tearing" a hole in the fabric of space. The ship is then accelerated into this "rift" by demolecularizing everything in it, then remolecularizing it in Slipspace. Slipspace is similar to a wormhole through normal space. This enables a ship equipped with a Sliplight drive to move faster than a ship equipped with a hyperdrive, despite the similarities in concept. Sliplight jumps can also be achieved inside gravity wells, as the AI on an Atlantean vessel can "see" the quantum variations of normal space. This gives the Altantean Navy a huge advantage over other forces, as they can jump into a gravity well and bypass the enemy fleet, attacking their unexposed flank. This uses up substantial power, however, power which must be diverted from engines and shields. This would leave the ship dangerously vulnerable, if not for their thick armor plating and honeycombed, bracing laced, cross-section.

Production on these massive warships ceased about 2,500 years ago, a testament to the quality of Atlantean engineering. There are currently no plans for the construction of new Unyielding Victory-class Fleet Destroyers, as their construction proved too costly for the class to be mass produced.

Only three of these behemoths actually exist:
IAS Angelus - Flagship of Vice Fleet Commander Ookami Jasaica
and the only one still used as a true warship.

IAS Ascendant Justice - Flagship of Fleet Commander Teresa Nekuza. Modified to serve as a tactical carrier.

IAS Atlantis Rising - Flagship of the Atlantean Emperor. Formerly IAS Unyielding Victory. Heavy Magnetic Accelerator Cannons only heavy armament. Extensive modification, including advanced ECM systems, stonger shields, and more extensive point defense weapons. This ship does not serve in any military capacity.

It is worth noting that, despite their size, the Unyielding Victory-class is the exception rather than the rule. The second-largest ships in the Atlantean Navy are the Glorious Ascendant-class heavy cruisers/carriers, which are still used as flagships, are approximately 5,000 meters in length. The most widely used ships, Leviathan-class destroyers, are roughly 1,500 meters long, while the Hadasde-class frigates measure about 750 meters long. The largest group of ships in the Navy, patrol cutters, are about the length of a Nebulon-B frigate.

More to come shortly. Please do not post on this yet, as it is incomplete.
I hope to have a schematic done soon, sooner if I can find my original drawing. I will also have some information on how Atlantean ships are built, as well as the various weapons and technologies used in the Atlantean Navy.
