{{Quote|The Empire has always gone for opulence, style and quality with no expense spared.

As a [[Capital Ship|capital ship]], the Majestic serves as the backbone of the [[Imperial Navy]] and the core of each of its fleets. In contrast with its [[Federal Navy]] counterpart, the [[Farragut-Class Battle Cruiser]], the Majestic-Class prioritises opulence over firepower, as seen in its prominent artificial gravity centrifuge which houses the crew barracks, as well as luxurious quarters and amenities for officials and guests. Nonetheless, it is still a fearsome warship that enemies of the Empire provoke at their peril. | ||

Following the disbandment of the tri-superpower | Following the disbandment of the tri-superpower xeno defence agency [[Aegis]], the Imperial Navy was required to organise it's own anti-xeno forces. To this end, a number of Majestic-Class Interdictors were upgraded with prototype AX weaponry, allowing them to endure and contribute to the fight in AX Conflict Zones. A trio of these modified ships were deployed to [[HIP 22460]] as part of the Empire's Contribution to [[Salvation|Salvation's]] operations in the system (alongside [[Farragut-Class Battle Cruiser|Federal Battlecruisers]] with similar upgrades) though all were lost following the disastrous activation of the [[Anti-xeno superweapon|Proteus Wave]]. Since then, similar AX Interdictors have been deployed to Imperial controlled systems under Thargoid Invasion, since the arrival of the [[Thargoid Maelstrom|Maelstroms]]. | ||
