{{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. Guests would have little indication they were in space, let alone aboard a powerful warship.|''The Art of Elite Dangerous''<ref name=":0">''The Art of Elite Dangerous'', August 17 2016</ref>}} | {{Quote|The Empire has always gone for opulence, style and quality with no expense spared.

{{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. The Empire is proud of its navy, and fleets accompany most colonial missions or important events.<ref name="EE">''[[Elite Encounters RPG]]''</ref> | The Majestic Class Interdictor is almost two kilometers long, armed with an array of 3 [[Beam Laser|beam lasers]] and 14 dual-mounted modular interceptor [[railgun]]s, and equipped with hangars capable of transporting multiple smaller Imperial ships and [[Gu-97]] squadrons.

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> | 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.
