}}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.

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.

{{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 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.

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.

Notes

  • David Braben describes the Majestic Class Interdictor: "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."[7]
  • After destroying all of its Heat Relays it will be forced to retreat and FSD from the battlefield.
  • 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.

Trivia

  • The Majestic Class Interdictor length (1904m) is nearly 6 Gerald R. Ford-class aircraft carriers (337 m).[8]
