This is the only IMT warship designed as such. It has moderate numbers of weapons and a great deal of armour. It also has a Fuel Drill which allows it to operate independently on long voyages - but will require frequent fuel drilling stops. As it is a purpose built warship rather than an adapted freighter it has no soft spot.

This  mighty brute is expensive and has a small attack bonus. At first glance an inexperienced commander might think that the best tactic to slug it out with other dreadnoughts. However its best use in fleets is to soak up damage, whilst the swarms of cheap attack ships wear down the enemy.

A typical large fleet might have one Great Western for every 20-30 Metros, Gothams or Londons. Or so we would lead you to believe. You may find differently.
