|description = The Avalon and Andromeda-class dreadnoughts are kindred spirits, as capital ships go, but while the Andromeda-class dedicates itself to more immediate firepower, the Avalon-class is built around a truly terrifying torpedo array. Whilst incredibly vulnerable against ships of similar size to itself, one can easily lay waste to slower or static targets. | |||
