The Wahrheit-Class is a Battlecruiser design made by Dietrich Starkwerk in the Second Quarter of AF 260 (YE 32) and produced by the Abwehran Imperial Yards.

It was immediately noticeable to the Abwehran Star Empire from the beginning of space flight that their ships lacked three things: Size, speed, and power. During the Khorovarolor Incident, it was abundantly clear that the Abwehran Armed Forces (AAF) required a true Capital Ship to shift the focus of the fleet from pirate hunting and patrolling to full-on War focus. They needed the strength to compete with enemy line ships of greater size than the Löwenhertz-Class destroyers. To Augustus Dietrich, the Wahrheit would be the answer.

It was meant to be fast, powerful, and the dread of the Abwehran Star Empire's enemies.

The Wahrheit-Class looks like one long rectangle with a narrowed band at the start of the engine section, which is covered by an attached structure that extends down the Engine Section's length and a bit beyond leaving two ends on the port and starboard sides of the vessel. Beneath it juts an observation deck to be used during non-combat situations. On its outline juts Anti-Starship batteries, retractible missile launchers and at the fore are its dual Railguns and Graser Batteries.

The Wahrheit-Class had started to be designed by Augustus Dietrich upon his exit from the Abwehran Armed Forces. During his time building his businesses up, he made changes to the design and finalized his incomplete version a month before announcing Dietrich Starkwerk. Finally, using the Design to gain a military contract he worked in conjunction with Imperial Yards Personnel before completion.
