The Kiban Class Super Heavy Cruiser has been developed as a replacement to the Varmillion Super Star Cruiser. The lack of hanger bays is more than compensated for by its impressive armament and defence, which outclass even those of the Varmillion. Those armaments include 240 Light chain cannons, 20 medium chain cannons, 10 Heavy Tarion Pulse beams, and 24 Missile Pods which can fire a range of missile types. The Kiban also boasts two state of the art weapon systems, the Tarion Wave Defence Array to protect against fighters and missile attacks and 20 Ionic Blaster Cannons. For all its firepower the Kiban is a ship of the line, not a flagship — tactical command of Feon-Tar fleet operations remains with the Asona XB511 Fleet Command Vessel.
