HMS Nike (BC-762) was the lead ship of the Royal Manticoran Navy's eponymous class of battlecruisers.
Design[]
A product of the Bureau of Ships under Vice Admiral Anton Toscarelli, Nike was developed at the same time as the Edward Saganami-C-class heavy cruisers in an effort to redefine the role of the battlecruiser in the era of multi-drive missiles when the concept of pod-laying battlecruisers[1] proved less than completely satisfactory. (HH11)
Service Record[]
With the decommissioning of her predecessor, BC-413, she inherited the honored name Nike.[2] (HH11, SI2)
When Captain Michael Oversteegen assumed command of the ship, he brought with him several members of his bridge crew from his previous ship, the heavy cruiser HMS Gauntlet. (HH11)
