Electric 019

The Electric 019 is an Information Alliance battleship.

Design
The Electric 019 is a large battleship, estimated to be 300m long by Quenser Barbotage and reportedly over 80,000 tons in weight. The ship's name is written on its side. During its deployment in the Arctic Sea the Electric 019 was also equipped with a V-shaped blade on its prow, similar to a snowplow.

Technology
The Electric 019 goes against most modern weapon designs that advocate small size and maneuverability for anything other than Objects, although whether it was developed by an eccentric faction within the Information Alliance that is displeased with the current Object-centric system or the result of a bizarre evolutionary branch of the Object-less Northern Restricted Zone is not known. Not only is it far bigger than a modern cruiser, it is armed with several main cannons, either railguns or coilguns, that even a conservative estimate puts at 50cm.

For its deployment in the Arctic the Electric 019 was quickly equipped with a large icebreaker blade on its prow, allowing it to navigate the frozen seas of the Arctic passages. The blade doesn't use the ship's power and weight to break through the ice. Instead, the blade sends out powerful microwaves to vibrate the water molecules and raise their temperature enough to melt the ice as it goes. A side effect of these high-power microwaves is that they cause interference with wireless communications around the ship. While a big battleship like the Electric 019 is able to move at several dozen knots in the open sea, traversing ice thick enough to trap the average warship reduces it to speeds comparable to a bicycle.

Countdown Kingdom
The Electric 019 was one of the ships deployed by the Information Alliance to go after the Julius Caesar, a Legitimacy Kingdom's aurora observation ship that had been trapped by ice in the Arctic Ocean near the North Pole while carrying several Legitimacy Kingdom's ultra-wealthy nobles and unofficial treasure, supposedly a large shipment of pure gold. Quenser Barbotage, Heivia Winchell and Elise Montana used aluminum foil to induce a lightning strike that broke its icebreaker blade. No longer able to melt the ice blocking its path, the ship's own massive weight and forward momentum caused it to break apart.
