The star fortress is a class of capital ship in use by the Draconian Empire in 2491 CE.
The ship boasts considerable defensive and offensive power over the subjects of the Draconian realm, as well as against their adversaries. It has massive resources within its bulk, including infantry, scientific corps and a pilot corps outfitted with the latest Hatchet fighters of its time.
Draconia is one such ship, before it is destroyed by the forces of the Earth Defense Directorate and William "Buck" Rogers (BR25: "Awakening").
Another of the star fortresses is commanded by Ardala in later detentes with Rogers and the EDD (BR25: "Escape from Wedded Bliss", "Ardala Returns", "Flight of the War Witch").
Notes
- The term "star fortress" is used by Princess Ardala in their interrogation of William "Buck" Rogers, noting that he was aboard "one of the king's star fortresses on its way to Earth on a peace mission" (BR25: "Awakening").
