The Reichsgraf Himmelberg class was a series of large heavy cruisers deployed by the Englean Kaiserliche-Marine during the Second Great War. One of the many ship classes designed under Projekt Pazifik, these "Pazifikkreuzer" were designed in order to deploy an easily-produced set of ships to be used in Far East Ophion against the Empire of the Tao. These ships differed greately from those in service within the Atlantikflotte, due to their designs being created for usage specifically within the oceans around the Tao.
