Basic Components
  • Smart Tracking Navigation Computer III

    Tactical Component

    When triggering a critical hit with laser or blaster weapons, increases velocity by 30% for 6s. Can only be triggered once every 2s.

  • Focused Gravitational Field Entangler Beam III

    Superdevice

    Discharges a special beam to link a target within 33.6km for 18s. The link deals 423 damage to the target every 0.5s and slows it. The slow effect gradually increases to 13.72% in 5s. The link breaks if the target is out of range.

  • Battleship Artillery

    Superdevice

    Attacks a target within a range of 15.6km, dealing 243 damage per second.

  • Battleship Std. Shield Recharger III

    Recharger

    Recharges your ship's shield by 157 per second for 30s.

  • Battleship Std. Ion Thruster III

    Thruster

    Boosts your ship's velocity by 100% for 30s.

Ship Background

As an upgrade of the Metaphysics battleship, the Tao battleship has good maneuverability, steady firepower, improved processor capacity, and improved capacitors.

The Tao battleship is a prominent assault battleship of this era, used in battles ranging from local conflicts and the suppression of rebellions to international warfare. It performs competently, and is an emerging ship of the Dawn fleet.

Its technology comes from the Dawn's ""Starlord Project"" that began after Galactic War IV. This was the last major ship development and procurement project in the Dawn's recent history, and is one of the vastest upgrade research programs currently being conducted in the universe. The goal of the design is to replace the series of unstable ships developed through the previous ""Yang"" project.

The Shimadzu Group was one of the groups that participated in the project. They proposed a cost-effective plan to upgrade the Metaphysics battleship, which was considered to be a top level ship, by improving maneuverability, applying intelligent armor, and improving other details.

The defensive turrets on the Metaphysics accumulate energy in batches. The pulse device compresses energy repeatedly and a devastating attack can be dealt by the upgraded particle accelerator in the turret. The navigation tracking AI is hidden beneath an interwoven structure, and closely protected by various defensive modules. The best Focused Gravitational Field Entanglement Beam gives it an advantage when pursuing enemies.
