QSX-002 Yingzi

''"On 'this'ship, the shit rolls uphill." - Huang Qin Shi''

History
Based heavily on the Alexandria-class heavy cruiser, the Yingzi is a prototype for a new series of Earth Federation heavy battleships designed by Huang Qin Shi. Styled as a dreadnought to distinguish it from previous generations of capital vessels, the Yingzi was designed to be capable of weathering and overcoming the advanced technology of alien threats. The ship's design sacrifices mobility and mobile suit capacity in exchange for enhanced armour plating and a wide variety of weaponry.

Experimental aquaculture and horticulture laboratories allow the vessel to conduct tests on techniques for deep-space food production, and enhanced gymansium and training facilities are designed to make long-distance deployments easier on the crew.

Technology
The Yingzi features not one but two Minovsky-Ionesco fusion reactors in its core; during combat conditions, one is used to power the ship's systems, while the other is devoted entirely to charging the GraviCon System installed in the ship's core. Based on the prototype designed by Bian Zoldark, the GraviCon System allows for short-range generation and manipulation of gravity and graviton particles. The system can be used to generate enhanced defensive shielding and/or weaponized short-range gravitic anomalies.

Weapons Systems
The twin- and single-barrel beam cannons are the Yingzi's primary weapons; situated on either side of the hull along the mobile suit bay
