Description: A system defense fleet in and of itself, no other single design has been attributed with the successful repulsion of attacking forces from Republic borders more often than the Maximus. A ship designed to be one of the best defensive vessels, with just enough firepower to keep its enemies at bay until help can arrive from the rest of the fleet; this ship is built to resist taking a pounding and has proven its worth on hundreds of occasions.

It is a great honor to serve on a Maximus for two very distinct reasons. One, the crew of a Maximus have high survivability rates. Few Maximus crews are lost in battle and fewer still find themselves replaced due to command errors. The second is actually due to the fact that there a number of war stories from several wars when the Maximus was integral to the victory in a battle or won entire engagements on its own. Even though many are used for system defending, the pride in the chassis itself remains.
