The Gorgon-Class battleship was designed in 2558, and the first one constructed made its maiden voyage in mid-2560. For a battleship class, the Gorgon is fairly small, but just as well armed and armored, and has a curious design. Most ships follow a linear design, with engines to the rear and the bridge at the fore, with hangars and support bays between the two. The Gorgon, however, is the first human ship to have a bridge in the center of the ship.
