This was a ship I built a few years ago when I was in a writer's group. This is the CPV Iris, a pre-warp ship from a planet whose history parallels our own save for the technology. The "Civil" war is being fought in the planet's early 19th Century.
Weapons are crude by Sci Fi standards in that the ships use missiles and cannons (the cannons are similar to rail guns, using mag-lev tech to launch shells at the enemy), simple radar and 'periscopes' instead of 'sensors'.
It's still under construction but I haven't touched it in a couple of years.
Comments, as always, welcome.
