==Description== | |||
A PvP [[:Category:Battleship|Battleship]], the '''Katana''' was made with high [[Shields|Shield]] and smaller [[turrets]] to allow for PvP accuracy. It shares its primary model shape with the [[Plagued Warship]], with a set of four arced arms near the back of the ship and a wide but somewhat flat front that tapers to a somewhat more square point. Its turrets are largely top-mounted with a multitude of autocannons placed on orbiting platforms above the ship. | A PvP [[:Category:Battleship|Battleship]], the '''Katana''' was made with high [[Shields|Shield]] and smaller [[turrets]] to allow for PvP accuracy.
