"These shall be my finest weapons, a scourge upon the infidel and a blessing to the faithful."

The Schooner-class battleship is the capital ship of the House of Time battle fleet, and is armed with weapons not employed by other Fallen factions in the Solar system. Never before sighted until the Battle of Pluto, where the House of Time bore the brunt of the first Red Legion assault, these ships are as versatile yet more varied than their similarly sized cousins, the Barque-class battleship.

Before the Battle of Pluto, sightings of these gargantuan, circular vessels were relatively rare, often dismissed as Hunter tales or Warlock ramblings; not even the Wolves possessed them. They now fight on behalf of the Solar Coalition against the Shadowkeepers in the Apocalypse and later, several hostile forces of extradimensional aliens in the Battle of Verses.

Dimensions
At over three kilometers in diameter, these enormous vessels resemble a donut-shape missing a section of its circumference, and has a central sphere which contained the ship's bridge and reactor assemblies. The front void of the craft held two mammoth docking bays on either side, which were lined with forward docking claws. Housed in the stern of the main body were the main reactors, each connected to one of the three main engines, as well as to secondary engines and each other. The central sphere housed its own reactor/power generator assemblies.

Offensive and defensive systems
Lining the equatorial bands in batteries of three were quad turbolaser cannons capable of rotating inwards when not in use.
