The Majestic class battleships were a class of battleships designed and built in Velikoslavia in the 1940s and 1950s. They were designed in response to the X battleships being built by X. Discussions on the number of vessels to build was a hot topic in several procurement sessions and it was eventually decided that three vessels, the Majestic, the Glory, and the Splendor would be constructed.

These ships were capable of rivaling any other battleship built in terms of firepower and armor with six 470-millimeter guns and six 406-millimeter guns, which are the largest guns to be mounted to a warship in the world. In terms of armor, the vessels were designed to be able to absorb hits from significant sized weapons in order to counteract Ludvosiyan battleships and shore guns in the confined areas that the ships potentially would be required to operate in.

All three ships were construced at the Fortuna Ironworks shipyards in Ustengrav under strict secrecy. The first, the Majestic, was unveiled in 1948 and deployed immediately into the Nordic Fleet where it was appointed as the flagship by Danil V. The vessels underwent several upgrades over their lifetime, including multiple sensor refits. Today, the Majestic and the Glory are laid up and the Splendor remains in reserve service.
