Design History:
Continuing its traditional position as a parasite on the American Stargate program, the
Russian Federation has benefited from the fruits of it’s western allies without contributing
much to the toils. However this has allowed them to study the American tactics and
systems and run far more elaborate design studies and crew training.

While the US was scrambling to field as many 304s as it possibly could, the Russian
Space Force was compiling a comprehensive dossier of theoretical space warfare
scenarios which –unlike their American counterparts- were not limited to strictly
“official” sources, but took into consideration a vast wealth of amateur ideas from the
internet, form people who may never know in what ways their ideas were used.

This has allowed the RSF to redesign the venerable BC-304 class to be much better
suited for special combat (especially against the Wraith) than it’s American counterpart.

Notes on Armament:
The Leonov’s main battery energy armament is actually two turrets less than that of it’s
American counterpart, however it achieves the same coverage by placing them at critical
locations: the forward and aft ends of it’s hangars in an echeloned arrangement that
allows both to fire in any one direction.

Six railguns are mounted on the Vladimir’s belly, normally used for precision orbital
strike.

Her point defence armament is made up of ten Asgard pulse weapons, two on the bottom
each of it’s hangars in echeloned positions, two on each edge of it’s “turtle shell” and two
more on the vertices if his nose.

Leonov’s 16 VLS cells are equipped each with a load of four guided kinetic kill or
naqudah-nuclear fission warheads. Typically eight mark IX naqudah-fisson warheads and
56 kinetic kill warheads.

Engineering Notes:
The highly distracting problem of internal overloads and short circuits brought on by
feedback form the shield generators which caused internal fires aboard previous ships
was all but eliminated by placing the command and engineering electrical systems on
different power grids and using fibre optic connection to allow the computers to exchange
information.

Unlike NATO star ships, the Leonov’s command centre is not located on the bridge, but
rather buried deep within the ship’s heavily armoured aft section. In fact, the Leonov
mounts absolutely no windows with the exception with half a dozen cupolas for use in
emergency situations.
Instead it relies on Asgard derived holographic systems for incredibly high quality
flexible displays through the ship, from the mess halls and recreational areas, to the CIC.

The Leonov also benefits from a reinforced hull. Ten airtight bulkheads connect the main
body to the upper turtle shell and hangar on each side. And power and data busses are
installed there in order to allow various specialized modules to be fitted in as part of
probable upgrades in the future.
