	*[[David Braben]] describes the Farragut-Class Battle Cruiser: ''"...there will be no [[gravity]], you'll just float around. Things like magnetic boots will make getting around very easy, and they wouldn't be great big clunky things like you might see on a diver. These would look like normal shoes but they'll have fancy technology that make them stick to the surfaces...the Federal ship is a lot more sort of Spartan, a lot more just practical warship essentially...the Federal ship's central section, and with design, one of the design briefs we've had, this is trying to design ships with their function in mind...For the Federal ship, it's utility that's important. The reason it's got this central corridor, this is where ships come out of their hangars and it's to try and protect the hangars from outside. So the reason they face inward and the ships fly out, you know they're already up to speed...that would be very very heavily protected and potentially with things like shields around it."''<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V4-gyDLRMXg&t=219 YouTube: Elite: Dangerous Progress Diary #6 (3:39)]</ref>		*[[David Braben]] describes the Farragut-Class Battle Cruiser: ''"...there will be no [[gravity]], you'll just float around.

	The '''Farragut-Class Battle Cruiser''' is a [[battlecruiser]] manufactured by [[Core Dynamics]] exclusively for the [[Federation]]. As a [[Capital Ship\|capital ship]], it serves as the backbone of the [[Federal Navy]] and the core of each of its fleets. In contrast with its [[Imperial Navy]] counterpart, the [[Majestic-Class Interdictor]], the Farragut emphasises utility over style and comfort, and in a direct, one-on-one confrontation with its Imperial counterpart, the Farragut holds the advantage in terms of raw firepower and combat endurance.

	From 3278 to 3302, the construction of Farragut-Class Battle Cruisers as well as other capital ships was restricted by the terms of the [[London Treaty]], which was created to prevent an arms race between the superpowers that was projected to occur with the introduction of the [[Frame Shift Drive]]. Imperial Senator and Fleet Admiral [[Denton Patreus]] publicly spurned the London Treaty on October 21, 3302 in a speech in which he declared he would build as many capital ships as the Empire needed for its defence, marking the Empire's withdrawal from the treaty and heralding its dissolution.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/en/galnet/uid/57ada8c69657baeb6e876c6d GalNet: Galactic News: Economic Turmoil Ahead?]</ref><ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/en/galnet/uid/5809dff79657baf8216962ee GalNet: Galactic News: Patreus Rails against London Treaty]</ref>		From 3278 to 3302, the construction of Farragut-Class Battle Cruisers as well as other capital ships was restricted by the terms of the [[London Treaty]], which was created to prevent an arms race between the superpowers that was projected to occur with the introduction of the [[Frame Shift Drive]].

	Since the outbreak of the [[Second Thargoid War]] in 3303, multiple Farragut-Class Battle Cruisers have been destroyed by [[Thargoid Interceptor]]s due to the former's vulnerability to [[Thargoid]] shutdown fields. Since the anti-xeno countermeasures developed for smaller ships have proven prohibitively difficult to scale-up for capital ships, the international research and defence organisation [[Aegis]] has declared that capital ships are ineffective at protecting outposts, planets, and shipping lanes from Thargoid attacks at present. Instead, anti-Thargoid efforts have been spearheaded by militias of personal-scale craft.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/59f30dd4826c1776ca623242 GalNet: Galactic News: Capital Ships Vulnerable to Thargoid Attack]</ref><ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/59fb5178adf339781710741f GalNet: Community Goal: Operation Andronicus]</ref> Despite this, however, the battlecruiser FNS Trander has been spotted multiple times equipped with experimental AX weaponry.<ref name=":0">https://www.reddit.com/r/EliteDangerous/comments/1h9u29c/someone_on_the_fns_trander_supercharged_their/</ref><ref name=":1">https://imgur.com/ZqlMzuE</ref>		Since the outbreak of the [[Second Thargoid War]] in 3303, multiple Farragut-Class Battle Cruisers have been destroyed by [[Thargoid Interceptor]]s due to the former's vulnerability to [[Thargoid]] shutdown fields.
