The Rherotiy Class Battleship (pronounced Roytiv due to the silent sound of the "her") is one of the oldest battleships in North Shurkan service and was the first battleship to wield 16 inch guns. Considered revolutionary because of its at-the-time unmatched armament and were the most powerful vessels afloat. But this title was removed as newer vessels followed the Rherotiy example. For the first nine years after joining the fleet, the ships were the flagships of the N.S.U. Combined Fleet and participated in multiple operations during the Second Shurku War. They were refitted with new steam turbines, which replaced their coal boilers after the war and were eventually placed in the hands of Terakskai where they continually operate within the fleet, but under the Terakskai flag.
