Mission
The JemHadar Battleship is a mobile tactical platform, essentially a mobile starbase, whose sole mission is the pacification of entire star systems.
Background
The Dominion designed the JemHadar Battleship exclusively for use in the Alpha Quadrant. Although the Cardassian Unions joining of the Dominion provided the Founders with a large foothold in the Alpha Quadrant, the blockade of the wormhole left the Dominion without access to its vast material resources back home in the Gamma Quadrant. This necessitated a change in prior Dominion tactics, where opponents would be worn down by multiple waves of JemHadar Fighters, as was used to great effect in the Omarion Nebula. With the Battleship, the Dominion can now bring to bear tremendous firepower in a single source, without need for multiple waves of smaller starships whose loss would eventually degrade the Dominions overall power in the Alpha Quadrant.
Features
The Battleship is armed with ten torpedo launchers, giving the ship tremendous long range firepower. Its deflector shield grid is an enhanced version of the type used on the smaller battle cruiser, and has been updated to provide increased protection and reliability. The Battleships hangarbay is large enough that it typically stores nine JemHadar Fighters for close-in support. The Battleship carries up to 20,000 JemHadar soldiers, and with its large number of personnel transporters, can easily deploy them to planetary targets in a brutally efficient manner. The Battleship has enhanced sensors, granting a +5 bonus to System Operation (Sensor) tests made when detecting cloaked ships. The Battleship is also more difficult to lock onto with a tractor beam, it is treated as size 9 when so targeted.
