The Great Panaj is an extremely ancient battleship originally a winged sailboat as the ultimate guardian of the Lekshi Kingdoms against the Porthex invasion force. It has been upgraded with new technologies over the years and its current appearance is the grand symbol of the Lekshi race. It is under Coshi's and Plasshi's command as ship captains. To distinct itself from other Yamato-Class Battleships, it has the Flag of the Alliance of Free Worlds on the bridge tower.

History

Early Incarnation

The Liberation

Characteristics

The Wave Motion Engine is the ship's main engine, based on Wave Motion technology; it is capable of converting the vacuum of space into tachyon energy. As well as functioning like a normal rocket engine, and providing essentially indefinite power to the ship, it enables the Great Panaj to "ride" the wave of tachyons and travel faster than light with combination with Slipspace.

The wings are used to provide lift in atmospheric environments, they retracted when not in use.

The Yamato-class ships have three bridges; Bridge 1 contains the helm, radar, communications and command positions (including those for engineering and ship's defenses), and is the scene of much of the action and interaction. After the Liberation of Ryshi it gains a time radar system capable of viewing a region of space as it appeared hours previously.

At the top of the command tower is the Captain's personal quarters, a chair on a vertical track giving him the option of moving to his command post in Bridge 1 quickly. The Grand Panaj was modified with two seats for Coshi and Plasshi. Either side of the main bridge are radar units, and below is Bridge 2, the main navigation centre of the ship. Directly below the command tower, on the underside of the ship, is Bridge 3 which used to view everything below the ship and to be used for bombardment control. There are also observation domes either side of the command tower, and larger windowed sections either side of the main hull.

Elsewhere aboard the ship are a conference room (with a large floor-mounted screen) and a hologram chamber (the "resort room") for projecting images of Ryshi and (Star World for Great Panaj) to combat homesickness. There is also a cryogenics brig chamber to keep prisoners frozen so they won't escape. An engineering and development section contains an automated multi-purpose construction unit capable of building any required device. More mundane locations include the infirmary, galley, stateroom and gym. Travel within the ship is achieved by means of lifts, teleportation pads, warp pipes, moving walkways and, for emergencies, chutes.

Weapons

Wave Motion Gun

The "trump card" of the Yamato-class Battleship, it functions by connecting the Wave Motion Engine to the enormous firing gate at the ship's bow, enabling the tachyon energy power of the engine to be fired in a stream directly forwards. Enormously powerful, it can anihilate a fleet of enemy ships or an entire contient with one shot; however, it takes a brief but critical period to charge before firing. It also requires all non-essential power systems be deactivated, and leaves the ship powerless and adrift for a short time after firing. The recoil absorption mechanism can be manually deactivated for emergencies.

Hyper Star Tri-Cannons

The three powerful energy guns used for ship-to-ship combat. Each cannon fires three shooting stars which spiral around each other to form a single, more powerful star, capable of severely damaging or destroying enemy warships. The cannons are operated by bridge operators that act as gunner with the captain giving the orders. In addition to firing stars, the guns can be loaded with other ammunition, usually bullet bills or sometimes people.

Primary Gun Batteries

The Gun Batteries are used as secondary weapon used on battleships

Secondary Hull Shock cannons

auto turrets

The auto turrets are a set of two- and four-barrelled gun turrets lining the sides of the spaceship, firing energy pulses or solid ammunition which can destroy small craft such as starfighters and detonate missiles. The turret clusters generally aim at the same targets; usually controled by an onboard AI.

Torpedo Tubes

Six forward-firing torpedo tubes, principally for use underwater, fire armor piercing torpedos against thick alloys, or to launch claymores to wipe out swarms of starfighters.

Missiles

Clawshot Rocket Anchors

Either side of the bow are rocket-powered mechanical anchors at the ends of strong chains, which the ship can use to anchor itself to asteroids and, if necessary, provide a gravity-assisted slingshot. They can also be used to deflect enemy ships from collision. It can be used as melee weapons to pulverize smaller ship like a punch.

Ships of the Line

The other ships of the Yamato Battleships are slightly different from the Great Panaj they were based on. Although some have different weaponry or the lack of superior armor, many of these ships still retain the trademark Wave Motion Gun, now a symbol of the Yamato line.

Shinigami Reaper

Koi Cheep

Shogun's Wrath

Trivia

• The great Panaj is based off from a ship named the Yamato from Space Battleship Yamato or the Argo in its english counterpart, Starblazers.
