Tercio de Flanders

A tercio of about 2500-2550 men would have gotten about 17000 escudo's a month. My rough tercio of 2837 has an upkeep of 176, and I was pretty loose in designing it. Assuming 1 Gold = 100 large-value escudo's it fits somewhat

2,591 escudo's to raise, 176 escudo's in pay.

Originally designed as exploration ships in the beginning of space exploration. The Menendez de Aviles class were all retired from active service with the introduction of the Drake class, but some colonies still retain a few of these old and battered ships. In some cases the jump drives of these ships have been stripped or their armament upgraded to be nearly comparable to the Drake; or made into specialized boats. In the ZOCU War several Men. de. Aviles received rush or emergency modernizations; one was the Reale Carlos currently serving in the Outremonde Frontier Squadron. At the time of its modernization Outremonde lacked any medium or heavy railguns to replace its naval rifles with but possessed a abundance of missiles and launchers for a now abandoned project to build several missile-centered cruisers. With the upsetting success of ZOCU Peltasts aganist DSF warships the Reale Carlos was stripped of most of its medium naval rifles for additional VLS AA launchers and a immense number of flak cannons twenty-three in total!

Class Ships: Europa Unionale (Planned 2187, delayed, planned 2188; Canceled early 2189)
The rumours of a successor design of the Pallada sent waves of concern throughout the Outremonde Frontier Fleet and its Deep Space Fleet regional command; quickly an idea of Commodore Karl Lorient that proposed constructing a up-scaled and improved version of the Menendez de Aviles class in order to supplement Outremonde's defences and contribute to the upcoming offensive aganist Haraway. While the rumoured Pallada replacement never bore fruit ground work for the Europa Unionale did however by the time the project was almost ready for pre-production it was decided to instead concentrate on smaller-ship production which could be finished quicker. In 2188 when it was planned to begin construction technical difficulties delayed the project until 2189 when it was cancelled after the DSF(O) received its first new Drake Mark VII. The "Super" Menendez de Aviles was not to be. Some rumours, particularly in the shipyards where the ship was intended to be built, suggest that the battleship wasn't delayed in 2187 but was actually completed in 2188 to be kept in secret reserve. Other rumors hold that the ship was involved in a abortive coup in 2189 and had its official records (and crew) purged as a result.

Class Ships:
One study proposed building a squadron of Rocksmashers to bombard rebel colony's back to the stone age. While not willing to commit too such extreme actions the Fleet did consider the usefulness of a "giant gun" warship for use against hard to destroy enemy battleships or against fortresses. In order to supplement the heavy spinal mounted railcannon six heavy launchers of the largest anti-ship missiles available are mounted. The ship lacks any specialized medium or close range weaponry - its main weapons do that well enough - but it sports a decent AA suite.
