Technical data
Like its parent design, the Yamato-class was armed with a phaser spinal lance and could be equipped with a cloaking device.

Background
This section is written from the Real World point of view. |
The name Yamato-class appears to be a double reference, both to the USS Yamato, lost with all hands to the Iconian software weapon in 2365, and to the space opera anime series Space Battleship YamatoWP wherein the World War II Japanese battleship YamatoWP was raised, repaired, and fitted with a "wave motion gun" to do battle in space.
