-The C5 has a hexagonal ring as a main body with a large antenna array extending out and behind it from each corner. The sides of the hexagon have thrusters stored in huge size standard star ship cargo containers that are bolted to the hull. Jet Black FTL field generation panels are attached to the exterior of these containers.  Inside of the Hexagon are stacks of cargo containers with forward facing 1 meter diameter laser lenses built into the front. In the center of the ship is a hexagonal fuel tank. The front of this fuel tank has several golden hexagonal reflectors that make up the ship's electro-optical telescope. This fuel tank also has 12 huge cargo containers connected to it which house the ship's electronics and some additional power generators. Looking from the rear of the ship, the red warm coolant tube, blue cold coolant tube, and yellow power transmission tube are visible. The couplings that run from ship's structure to the rear connection ports on the laser weapons can also be scene from the rear. Sometimes these are well cable managed by crews, sometimes they are not. Six long antenna extend back and out from the ship at the corners.+The C5 has a hexagonal ring as a main body with a large antenna array extending out and behind it from each corner.

-The [[nepleslia:c3]] was [[character:heram_j._wazu|Wazu's]] primary ship design for Nepleslia following the establishment of [[nepleslia:democratic_imperium_of_nepleslia]] and shortly after the first C3s were being produced Wazu was looking at ways to improve upon the design. The next cruiser design needed to be faster, have longer range weapons, and increasingly complex technologies to keep the crew safe while destroying targets at exceptional range. The next design also needed to be more expendable, easier to use, easier to produce, and far less complex. Many of these design elements would conflict with each other, and the solution was to design a larger fleet group rather than just a single ship. The result was development of a manned, fast, and sophisticated Cruiser 4 design along side the slower, robust, and expendable Cruiser 5 design. +The [[nepleslia:c3]] was [[character:heram_j._wazu|Wazu's]] primary ship design for Nepleslia following the establishment of [[faction:democratic_imperium_of_nepleslia]] and shortly after the first C3s were being produced Wazu was looking at ways to improve upon the design.

-The development of the ship was troubled at best. With [[character:heram_j._wazu|Wazu]] leaving [[nepleslia:democratic_imperium_of_nepleslia|DION]] the need for the design evaporated, leaving little reason to work on it besides curiosity. The first drafts of the design were for a battleship scale weapon platform built into an asteroid. +The development of the ship was troubled at best.

 These designs were later scrapped, and the program started from scratch. A large drone was developed with large sensor arrays, powerful lasers, and a vast supply of frozen water to act as a heat sink. The result was a large, ugly, ship with a lot of complex components. This design would also be scrapped.  These designs were later scrapped, and the program started from scratch.

 Each BEAM weapon package on the C5 is made from a cluster of 6 1m in diameter laser apertures. These lenses each project a laser beam that converges on the target to heat, melt, and eventually destroy the target. As far as star-ship grade weapons go they are fairly weak for their size but they can be left on for a considerable amount of time and don't easily wear out. The lenses also double as optical and thermal sensors, able to handle their own target tracking and can aim themselves up to 10 degrees off the center line.  Each BEAM weapon package on the C5 is made from a cluster of 6 1m in diameter laser apertures.

 Mounted on the front of the ship is a highly accurate telescope designed to see the upper ends of the visible spectrum and do thermal imaging. The sensor's range is really only limited by the speed of light, and the sensor can only really look directly in front of the ship. It is intended mainly for fine corrections for targeting. Mounted on the front of the ship is a highly accurate telescope designed to see the upper ends of the visible spectrum and do thermal imaging.

 The C5 has six fairly basic shield generators located around the front of the hexagonal main structure. These generators can project the standard anti-gravity distortion shield for protecting the ship against scalar attacks as well as the more conventional electrostatic barrier that can absorb projectile and energy attacks.    The C5 has six fairly basic shield generators located around the front of the hexagonal main structure.

 Extending from the corners of the main body of the ship are the subspace antennas. These sensors can track small subspace disruptions around the ship, and are perfect for detecting advanced technology such as gravitational shields, engines, Aether and Hyperspace tap reactors, FTL drives, and general space-warping super tech. The sensor is effective out to half a light year, is omni-directional, and can works with enough accuracy to hand over targeting to the ships' other sensor system. Extending from the corners of the main body of the ship are the subspace antennas.
