 **Armoured Hull: ** The Lanethron has a particularly strong hull – consisting of three metres of Elysian super-hard armour material, layered over this are ablative scales. The non-ablative hull is three metres thick, with 0.5 metre thick ablative scales on top. There are no windows or obvious weak-points on the ships armour – the doors are especially armoured. Thus the Lanethron is particularly hard to damage seriously. **Armoured Hull: ** The Lanethron has a particularly strong hull – consisting of three metres of Elysian super-hard armour material, layered over this are ablative scales.

 The most outwards of these, and the main one, is the elliptical dimensional distortion (EDD) shield, which folds space using electrogravitic fields, wrapping the said space around the ship, encasing it in its own bubble. Once in this bubble objects are sheltered from both solid matter weaponry, less solid matter weaponry (such as plasma or a particle weapon), as well as energy weapons (such as a beam weapon), because they simply pass through the curved space around the ship, in effect the ship is not there to hit. The ships are automatically and constantly modulated by the Lanethron’s Computer, covering almost all frequencies and planes, but more energy is channeled to the bands in which the enemy’s energy weapons operate, making it significantly less likely the shields will overload, and rendering an opponents energy based weapons close to useless. The EED extends in to subspace and hyperspace, and provides the same protection their as in normal space. The most outwards of these, and the main one, is the elliptical dimensional distortion (EDD) shield, which folds space using electrogravitic fields, wrapping the said space around the ship, encasing it in its own bubble.

 A secondary shielding system on the Lanethron is the Interdiction Shield, a powerful defense to protect the vessel against some devastating weapons used by potential opponents. The defense came in the form of a refined and modified interdiction field, which prevents hyperspace, subspace, normal space or any of the plethora’s of other dimensions from being warped in any way, in an area surrounding the ship. This effect is far more powerful than the standard Interdiction field.  A secondary shielding system on the Lanethron is the Interdiction Shield, a powerful defense to protect the vessel against some devastating weapons used by potential opponents.

 The primary weapons on the Lanethron is the Battle Cannon, a smooth bugle on the side of the hull and fires a high-powered transphased plasma pulse - firing a pulse of plasma which is out of phase with the universe so they are capable of penetrating the enemies shields before reverting back to the universe before impacting with the hull - or appearing within the ship, depending on a combination of calculations and good luck.  The primary weapons on the Lanethron is the Battle Cannon, a smooth bugle on the side of the hull and fires a high-powered transphased plasma pulse - firing a pulse of plasma which is out of phase with the universe so they are capable of penetrating the enemies shields before reverting back to the universe before impacting with the hull - or appearing within the ship, depending on a combination of calculations and good luck.
