Command Dreadnought U.S.S. Excelsior, missile bays

The Excelsior is a fifth-generation starship, and the United States Interstellar Navy's first command dreadnought. Command dreadnoughts are one-off ships, designed for heading up interstellar fleets and housing the Fleet Admiral. Command dreadnoughts are the largest, most powerful ships in the fleets, and as such are often too expensive for countrys' to maintain more than one.

The Excelsior is the newest, best armed and armored starship ever built by humans. She is capable of Warp 64, faster then any other current ship. Her armament consists of the following:

 

x12 24-inch plasma guns

x2 26-inch forward mounted rail guns

x12 long-range advanced ballistic missiles, concealed in the fore deck

x4 Hydra strikers, paired on either side of the superstructure

x16 12-inch plasma guns, paired in turrets

x4 10-inch plasma guns, in paired turrets at the stern

x14 9-inch plasma guns, also paired in turrets

x4 covered Vulcan guns, in two turrets on rear underbelly

x4 short-range missile launchers, paired in turrets on the fore underbelly

x42 8-inch plasma guns, six in paired turrets on top of superstructure, rest scattered throughout ship

x4 tungsten rod launchers, two each bow and stern

The Excelsior was going to be my SHIPtember entry, but alas, I only got motivated to build her on the last day, so I sadly didn't make it in time. Oh well.

I went ahead and finished it anyway. Final build time was five days. She's over three feet long.

I've got no clue how many parts I used. 100% lego.

Hope you all like it!
