}}The '''Majestic Class Interdictor''' is a [[battlecruiser]]-classed [[Capital Ship]] built for the [[Empire]]. Abbreviated as the "MCI", the Majestic Class Interdictor was designed mainly as a support carrier and luxury-class cruise ship than a battleship, though it can still effectively partake in the role of a battleship. Similar to a [[Fleet Carrier]]-classed Capital Ship, the Majestic Class Interdictor is equipped with hangars capable of transporting several [[Imperial Cutter]]s, alongside housing multiple [[Gu-97]] squadrons. It has an array of weaponry including Modular Interceptor Guns and heavily-specialized [[Railgun]]s. The rear portion of the battlecruiser has a visible, rotating artificial gravity centrifuge built for a variety of purposes such as barracks for [[Imperial Navy]] personnel and elegant restaurants for prominent Imperial officials onboard the Majestic Class Interdictor. It currently cannot be piloted by players.

{{Quote|The Empire has always gone for opulence, style and quality with no expense spared. Their capital ships are not just warships, but also serve as roving embassies or giant yachts for their wealthy and powerful owners. Internally they are luxurious, at least in those parts used for entertaining, with the internal rotating ring providing comfortable artificial gravity for ambassadorial dinner parties.

The '''Majestic Class Interdictor''' is a [[battlecruiser]] manufactured by [[Gutamaya]] exclusively for the [[Empire]]. 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 Battle Cruiser]], the Majestic Class prioritizes 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.

The official ''The Art of Elite Dangerous'' art book describes the Interdictor:
{{Quote|I know there are some who would question the need for this vessel. To those individuals, I say this: just how safe do you feel? We live in an age in which even Emperors can be murdered. An age in which our enemies' faces are not known to us, and betrayal and deceit are encountered at every turn. The need for a strong, battle-ready navy has never been greater.|Lieutenant Severin of the Imperial Navy, urging support for the construction of a new Majestic Class Interdictor<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/en/galnet/uid/5718dce99657bae75b24c983 Community Goal: Expanding the Imperial Fleet]</ref>}}
The Majestic Class Interdictor is almost two kilometers long, armed with an array of beam lasers and modular interceptor [[railgun]]s, and equipped with hangars capable of transporting multiple smaller Imperial ships and [[Gu-97]] squadrons. It is equipped with a capital-class [[Frame Shift Drive]] with an undisclosed jump range. The latest of the [[Imperial Navy]]'s long-running line of Interdictors, the Majestic Class was introduced in the late 3200s and continues the Imperial tradition of capital ships serving as luxurious and technologically-advanced mobile embassies. The Empire is proud of its navy, and fleets accompany most colonial missions or important events.<ref name="EE">''[[Elite Encounters RPG]]''</ref>

Since the outbreak of the [[Second Thargoid War]] in 3303, multiple Majestic Class Interdictors 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 Community Goal: Operation Andronicus]</ref>
 
''"Their capital ships are not just warships, but also serve as roving embassies or giant yachts for their wealthy and powerful owners.

[[David Braben]] explained ''"Where luxury comes is where you actually got [[gravity]]. That's why this thing is spinning using the centripetal force to actually give you the sensation of gravity as you move around. This ship is huge and that round section is also huge. The point is even a low level of gravity is very comfortable, you know water settles. The contrast with the Empire is for the senior people at least on this ship they get gravity for their sleeping quarters, for where they eat and all that sort of thing."''<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V4-gyDLRMXg&t=219</ref>'' ''

* Two are docked for repairs outside Jefferies Port in the Ugrivirii system.
* Capital Ships have an exclusion zone. Flying too close to a Capital Ship is considered a threat and will make you a target, even if you are friendly. The Capital Ship will often inform you when you are getting close, telling you to back off.

* They can also be found at [[Capital Ship Dock]]s
* A large collection of debris can be found at the capital ship point of interest within the Facece system. Another Majestic will soon jump in once the player has established an instance. Many Commanders think that the debris was once a Majestic. Upon close inspection, the wreckage closely resembles that of an [[Imperial Clipper]]. It is still unconfirmed what destroyed it, were this the case.
