The Empress Elliana-class is a class of guided missile battleship in service with the Cacertian Royal Navy. The introduction of advanced missile systems and the subsequent development of over-the-horizon warfare spurred the Cacertian Armed Forces to adapt to changing strategies. While there were several ambitious plans to develop highly advanced modern warships, it was deemed necessary to develop a transitory design that combined traditional Cacertian aspects with newer technologies. After several design setbacks, the CNRC launched the first Empress Elliana in mid-1978 while simultaneously working on a modernization and refit project for the previous Andrea Doria-class. The first vessel of the Empress Elliana-class was commissioned by the Navy in August 1978.
The ships of the class are characterized for their departure of traditional all-gun configurations found on warships of the Siduri War and Great Eracuran War era with the implementation of advanced radar, sonar, and multi-purpose vertical launch systems. Since their entrance into service in the late 1970s, the Empress Elliana-class battleships have fought in every Cacertian conflict since the Siduri War making them one of the most battle-hardened class of warships in service. Although they are not the oldest class of vessels in service with the modern Cacertian Navy, they are the most numerous currently in commission with all sixteen ships still in service as of 2020.
The HMS Sara Vazzana was the first of the class to see combat as part of Taskforce Aspis during the Refusal War. Her service in support of the Wardens during the conflict was seen as a political show of force among the great powers of Tyran and allowed the CRN to field test the new technologies being utilized. Data gathered aboard the Sara Vazzana was later used to develop more advanced radar and guidance technologies that would be deployed aboard the Queen Anelyn-class three decades later.
