thurvel-salan

A fictional massive alien spacecraft from the Macross series.

The Thurvel-Salan Class Battleship is the primary combat vessel of the Zentradi war machine.

Built in the latter era of the Protoculture Stellar Republic and used extensively during the Schism War thousands of years ago, the Thurvel-Salan's impressive design and functionality guaranteed a long service life.

This 2.3 km spaceship features numerous beam and missile weapon emplacements all along the craft and the practical wedge-shaped hull enables the Thurvel-Salan to bring to bear the maximum number of energy guns possible against a target vessel at nearly any angle.

In addition to its impressive firepower, the Thurvel-Salan also carries numerous Regult walker mecha, Gnerl fighter Pods and Re-entry ships for transporting land-based mecha to the surface of an enemy planet.

This ship was designed by Miyatake Kazutaka in the early 80s.
