Description: The Vindication-class light battleship is a heavy warship employed by the UNSC Navy in the post-war era.
Operational History
Several ships of this class were part of Battlegroup Dakota and attacked Mantle's Approach during the Ur-Didact's attack on Earth in 2557.
Author's Note:
- It seems very out of the ordinary for the UNSC to create a ship of this size and only arm it with Point-defense guns. For simplicity sake, the types and number of weapons have been estimated to better fit a ship of this size and class.
