Capital ship battle
A Battleship is a term for the biggest, heaviest warships in a navy. They're usually only armed for combat, but can also transport troops and large fighter squadrons. They're used to take command of entire systems and conduct peace-keeping missions.[1]
Battleships are larger, better armed and armoured, but slower and less agile than battlecruisers. They can do orbital strikes of targeted areas on planets. A direct hit from orbital bombardment is very destructive. It can support planetary invasions. They often serve as flagships.
There are currently no battleships in-game, but they have been mentioned in the lore and as a ship class to fulfill specific roles in a fleet.
