A '''Battleship''' is a type of [[Capital Ships|capital ship]] that's the biggest, heaviest warship in a navy. It's usually only armed for combat, but can also transport troops and large fighter squadrons. It can take command of entire [[Star Systems|systems]] and conduct peace-keeping missions.<ref>[https://us2.campaign-archive.com/?u=dcbf6b86b4b0c7d1c21b73b1e&id=c0b11fe947 Elite Dangerous Newsletter #7] - ([https://web.archive.org/web/20190316185013/https://us2.campaign-archive.com/?u=dcbf6b86b4b0c7d1c21b73b1e&id=c0b11fe947 archived])</ref><br />
<br />
Battleships are larger, better armed and armoured, but slower and less agile than [[Battlecruiser|battlecruisers]]. They can do orbital strikes of targeted areas on [[planets]]. A direct hit from an orbital bombardment is very destructive. Additionally, it can provide support for planetary invasions. They often serve as flagships.<br />
<br />
There are currently no battleships in-game, but they have been mentioned in the lore and as a ship class to fulfill specific roles in a fleet.<br />
