This was the heaviest bombardment ship created by the Grand Alliance. Taking up to 5 years to make only 5 ships were ever commissioned. These ships could by themselves wipe out entire fleets but their main purpose was to break through fortifications or other “hard” objects in the way. They sat far back in fleet formations because while they could dish out large punishment they could not take it very well or deal with fighter swarms. Slow and lumbering they were very easy targets. All Lightning Dragons were escorted by their own personal armada.

The main weapon was a massive energy cannon which took 2 minutes to charge (10 minutes to cool down) and which was the most powerful energy cannon fielded by the Grand Alliance. It was powerful enough to scour the surface of a planet or rip apart the largest fleets. Backing this up was the faster firing (1 shot every 10 seconds, no cool down) anti-matter cannons. Not as impressive as the main guns these weapons could still rip apart the toughest capital ships with ease. The final weapons were many anti-matter spray turrets. Not very damaging they were used to saturate a large area with destructive energy. They were useful for wiping out swarm of ships or mecha.
