Template:Ship Infobox Template

Description

The Imperator is a very powerful Battleship and was the first of its class to require artifacts to build. It has two large, angled arms lined with turrets, as well as a central rounded region from which the spinals are fired. The ship has a futuristic gray and neon styling theme, which is seen in other advanced ships like the Prototype X-1

Interior

The interior of the Imperator is only a box with a teleporter in the back and neon glass in its front.

Advantages

Highest health of any current Battleship.
Relatively high speed for a Battleship.
Great for PvP and Sieging.
Versatile Turrets.
Great firepower from its 9 Turrets and 4 Spinal Barrels.
The Auto-Lasers provide good defense from smaller Ships.
High cargo hold for a Battleship but only 40% of the Helios's Cargo Hold.
Has 200 Shield & Hull DPS, giving it a total of 400 DPS. This puts it slightly ahead of the Nautilus.

Disadvantages

Currently the 2nd most expensive Battleship, at a whopping 1,400,000 Credits.
Very large, practically Dreadnought-sized.
Has two blind spots, one in the very front in between the arms, and another one behind the ship.
Thick profile and top-mounted Turrets make it hard to shoot ships that move below you.
Somewhat weak to Shield Breakers as it has mainly Shield-based health.
Often loses to the Helios, another Advanced Battleship, and the Nautilus, an Alien Battleship.

Strategy

Despite some difficulty, it can defend against small ships, however it is best used against larger ships.
The Imperator can easily destroy low-tier Dreadnoughts, making it a great ship against Super Capital Ships if you can manage to stay in their blind spots.
The Imperator is fit for pirating, and is pretty good at it too.
