The Sanya, dubbed the Ebon, is the first heavy design of the Altonavin Imperial Navy. It was created as a response to capture of a Reaper gunship by pirates. The Sanya-class boasts DOUBLE plating of advanced armor and shielding. It also have a strong missile system, lock on of course and repeating cannons. Its only downfall is extremely slow engines, due to the weight of the armor plating. This ship is meant to fight the long-lasting battles. It is meant to outlast its opponents. It is meant to win the war of attrition by not taking attrition. With this new ship in production, ARD now focuses on even larger projects, perhaps the first cruiser model.
