Nickname The Imperial

The Imperial Phoenix Class Dreadnaught is the first vessel of its kind in California's navy, and also the largest vessel in California's Imperial Navy. Dwarfing the nation's second largest vessel the California Class BBGN by slightly more than double its length and size these ships were built to deliver one hell of an hit in a short timeframe.

This latest vessel, christened the Imperial Phoenix Class, California's first Dreadnaught was approved for construction and on August 1, 2244 construction began and was completed on September 24, 2259 at the Monterey Californian Shipyards at Monterey, California, CSDSF. After sea trials the ship was put into service in the Californian Imperial Navy's Pacific Fleet on October 30, 2259.

Currently, the Imperial Phoenix is the only vessel of its class in California's Imperial Navy.
