The Berlin class of cruisers is the United Nations Interplanetary Navy's primary offensive combat space craft.
Project MOSCOW
In early January 2028, the UN received a shock when the Federation unilaterally annexed Saturn and its environs out to 200m km. At the same time, the Federation launched the first craft of its Moskva class, instantly eclipsing the UN's space-capable combat forces.
In response, the UN leadership solicited bids from naval shipbuilding concerns and decided on a design created by UNIN junior officer Commander Veloxyll. With the internal designation "Project MOSCOW", development resources were showered on the project, leading to the first hull UNS Berlin (CA-1) being laid down less than eighteen months later and completed only five months after that.
Armament
The Berlin-class's armament consists of one large void torpedo tube (manufactured by Bofors) and five small point defense launch tubes. The former is designed to launch missiles massing up to 20,000 kg, and the Berlin's standard loadout equips it with twelve SBM-5A "Hammer" cruise missiles. The point defense tubes, capable of accommodating missiles up to 2500 kg, was originally designed to launch the SIM-3A "Wasp" interceptor missile, but this missile was quickly phased out in favor of the SSM-6A "Hornet" Anti-ship missile. The standard loadout calls for 120 of these dual-purpose missiles.
Sensors
The Berlin-class's sensor suite is designed to complement its armament. It carries a UN/STY-6 "Mercury" passive thermal sensor which, if directed against another Berlin-class cruiser, would be able to detect it at 3m km. Its active sensor suite includes an UN/SGY-5 "Overwatch" long-distance search sensor for detecting ships 1000 tons and over, and a UN/SGS-4 "Warbler" missile warning sensor for picking up the emissions of incoming missiles.
To direct its offensive armament, the Berlin-class carries a UN/SGM-3 "Aegis" missile fire control for directing the point defense launchers and a more powerful UN/SGM-7 "Oversight" torpedo director for control of the void torpedo tube.
