The Basechaiso is a Schecva Class Guncruiser, one of the Middenian Navy's newest models. It's a multimodal vessel, capable of operating in atmosphere as well as the vacuum of space. One of the many unique features of the Schecva class is it's entirely spherical turrets it is complimented with. They are capable of rotating 360 degrees on all axes, including revolving so their cannons face hull-side, better shielding themselves from damage.

Weapon compliment:
4x Kilo Class Turrets; 3 Nuclear Autocannons each.
The Kilo is the heaviest gun turret on the ship, outfitted with three nuclear autocannons, capable of firing fifteen rounds per minute, per cannon. The guns use nuclear induction to accelerate their shells to 75% the speed of light. The cannons themselves are powered by Gaxus reactors stored within the turret itself, allowing it to operate completely independently from the rest of the ship. These turrets engage targets mostly at extremely long distances are used for larger targets and planetary and system-wide bombardment.

2x Gravos Class Turrets; 1 Guided Railgun, 2 Anti-Armor Missile Launchers.
Set amidships, the Gravos class turret allows the Schecva to engage targets hiding behind obstructions such as asteroids, moons, or even entire planets. The Guided Railgun fires an armor piercing projectile steered through space via a powerful electromagnetic field. The turret is also armed with a pair of missile launchers that can dispense extremely long range cruise, swarm, or antiship missiles, or anti-shipping mines.

10x Miko Class Turrets; 2 High Power Autocannons each.
Miko turrets are the primary weapon system of the Schecva, used for engagement at medium to short distance. They can lay down nearly two hundred rounds per minute, and use electromagnetic guidance beams to achieve incredible accuracy up to one hundred kilometers or more.

30x Scar Class Turrets; 1 Anti Fighter/Close Defense Heavy Machine Gun each.
The Scar class turret is used primarily for defense against fighters, incoming missiles and bombs. They are single barreled machine guns of a very large caliber, and can saturate the area surrounding the ship with enough ammo that only suicidal fighter or bomber pilot would dare approach.

About the ship:
The Basechaiso can jump almost anywhere in the universe via Quartergate, deliver a devastating attack within second, and then slip back across the universe just as quickly. It can also attack from outside of a solar system, or engage an enemy fleet directly, pummeling it into submission while remaining fully protected behind its powerful sheilds.

This model was created in about three house (total time) with Sketchup 7.

I've always got stuff in the works. I have an even larger submarine battleship halfway done, another aircraft carrier, and a few new tanks.

Thanks! It was inspired a bit by the turrets featured in a lot of Miyazaki's movies.
