## Tactics
The Maelstrom is the final word in artillery sniping, invariably fit with a full rack of 1400mm guns and a shield tank.  Before the advent of micro jump technology, the prevailing battleship doctrine was the "alpha fleet".  This technique relied on massed Maelstroms to delete enemy battleships in a single overwhelming volley, allowing no time for logistics ships to intervene.
