I think this forum is dead because no more translations are uploaded. But, if you're not, translation of an article from rigvedawiki, largest privati wiki in s.korea(it has purpose of wikia, but you think all wikia subwiki in one wiki. CCL2.0-BY-NC-SA) is for you.

original article url - http://rigvedawiki.net/r1/wiki.php/블랙홀 엔진함
It is only poor translation and despoilization. I think this article must add for wikia, but describe here because I feel weird about wikia system and sorry about my poor english.
Photo can be found in knight's run or rigveda article(korean letters are for finding in r.w)


Blackhole drive Battleship

Battleship running with the Blackhole drive, technology for producing was lost. So these ships are rare, and performances are lower than older times. After the Pray War that the Central Order was annihilated and the New Federation was founded, only 4 ships are in operation. At present, building this is not building drive.

Main advantage of this category is warp without gate. These only need warpmarkers to destination. Moreover, some drives can warp with whole fleet. Other specs are also in different level to others. 300~400m class ship Alcyone that uses B.D can strike 80% of fleet in single broadside, and can accelerate large class military colony.

As many technology was lost, not only drive technology, level of other system is lower than before the Great War. After E-33 battle, about 60 years before episode 0, Rear Admiral(at this time) Jack Northon said recovering technology would need 50 years but even ep-0 it wasn't recovered all. From that the Norton class main battlecruiser was born for easy mass-production and upgrading.

At present time of the comic, with recovering gate building technology, drive technology is recovering. Tech-testship Nibelung uses new B.D, but efficiency is not good and cannot warp because technology isn't complete.

Author didn't mention which ship is using B.D clearly in comic. Might because of its importance.


Nibelung(니벨룽)
Ship using Newly built B.D for testing technology, so it isn't battle purpose. It's structure is also not for battle; cross shape body that drive exposed in center, separates to drive and 4 parts in maximum power. Due to drive, its performance is more than flagship class, but lower than other B.D drive ships. It has only 2 types of weapons-missile silo, beam cannon directly from drive. Appears in another ep1, the Father's Day.

Aeolos(아이올로스)
Prototype of Alcyone. After test use, drive of this ship changed to normal reactor. So drive is low performance, but other systems are brand-new technology based. Appears in episode-0, the Pray, in remote control for making Anne's way to the queen.

Alcyone(알키오네)
AUA(Garrison Army of planet Aran)
Built for Multi-purpose
Additional Equipment: SCR Drive, Raingun(main cannon), power routing, beam cannons and missiles
Based on 300-year-old drive. Can accelarate rapidly with SCR drive, but can't warp other ships. 300~400m class, so smaller than other B.D ships. Due to size, it can't use 100% of drive power.
Mass production type exist; Alcyone-C in another ep2.

Zeppelin(차펠린)
Centran Order
Built for 2nd Earth strike, but used as flagship in the Pray War
Additional Equipment: Barrier with DC particles, large beam cannon, Aurora system, docking bay for additional weapon
First appearence is ep-0, but building was not completed. After hard rolling in the Pray war, 1st ship was abandoned.

Gardens of Babylon
fleet "Armada"
Usage: Supportship / flagship of a fleet
Equipment: Massive quantities of missiles and beam cannons, nukes for planetary strike
Appears in ep0. Even this ship is for support of battleships, it has massive firepower and defencepower. It has large dual body.

Leafrin(레프린, doesn't revealed official eng spells)
Usage: for warp whole fleet, other role is unknown
It is called as Old ship, so it might be built in the Great War era. Appeared in only 1 small cut.

Odyssey(오딧세이)
Main capital class of the Innovation Empire, not in operation. Fought in frontline of early Great war era with Eve Gile(Homunclues against the Monsters, mother of someone in another ep2. Technology from her may be used to A-10). One ship remains as fossil. Interior suructure is not severely collapsed, but some sector is dangerous because of gravity device.

Belerophone(벨레로폰)
AE headquaters' flagship
drive was come from Aion, ship for escaping to other galaxy but sinked by assault of Monsters. Located in planet Aden, where AE's headquarters, for final defence of humans. It has massive firepower and large scale warp function.

---------
(from independant articles: fortress class)

Blue Flower(푸른꽃)
created by monsters
Rapid Assult Fortress
15~300km scale fortress. It has 7 B.D that one drive can against 4 human B.D ships. Addition to that, this class has planetary class shield, no-recharge-delay warp, infesting planet(even fragment of this can do) and producing the monsters without queen. Also can warp. Extremely rare because this class will be shown in planet absorb level 10(level 7 is abandoned planet).

Mnemeion(므네메이온)
Fortress class planetary defense battleship of the Innovation Empire, not in operation and abandoned.
