The Roman Navy

For the Senate and People of Rome

The Roman Navy below is designed using Fleet Book 1, Full Thrust. It is intended for vector-based combat, which accounts for the narrow firing arcs of main weapons. More adjustments will necessary once the New and Improved points costing for Full Thrust comes out, Which may be a minute. Oh, and it's just a personal gag with the line re: procurement costs. Divide by ten to get the point costs.
