Silence

The Silence-class battlecruiser is familiar to Federation forces primarily through its participation in the Battle of 45 Gabriel, where the flagship of the Konen fleet opted for a duel with a Riala-A that outmatched it and was destroyed; a second ship escaped after losing half its shields.

Superior combatants to a stock Excelsior-class ship but having slightly reduced firepower in exchange for stronger shields compared to an Excelsior-A, the Silence is a formidable heavy cruiser or capital ship design, but falls behind the Federation's heaviest combat vessels like the Megatortoise or the aforementioned Riala-A, and is likely strictly inferior than though much cheaper compared to an Ambassador.
