Revolution class battleship is the 2460s battleship of Kinnator Navy (KN) and a major stepping stone towards the megaproject Radiant Class battleship a decade later. The ship is a prove of concept for Kinnator Heavy Industry's ship manufacturing capacity and the first "modern" battleship in KN. Revolution Class has the largest number of sister ships among battleships and is second when accounting for battlecruisers. They lasted through the test of time being one of a few units having combat capability close to Legacy Leviathans and the later Zirax Dreadnoughts, especially in regards to survivability.

Four hundred men and hundred eighty thousand tons of combat steel, Revolution class were among the most powerful warships at the time of their commission. Armed with 10 20 inch guns in 2 x 1 and 2 x 4 turrets and heavy broadsides of 2 cruiser-worth of 6-inch guns for their secondaries. Exceptionally armored over essential compartments, the battleships rely more heavily on their superb protection than mobility, and especially excel in a head-on engagement. Aviation-wise, their sizable hangar can carry over 140 Sineaco Comet with strong AA defenses of 150mm missiles and 40mm laser autocannons. A respectable air power that rivals the carriers.

"...Moreover, a new warship classification was created a few months prior to the commission of the Revolution class battleships, namely the 'Superdreadnought'. A preliminary concept defined by KN as a 'warship exceeding 240k tons in displacement and armed with main armaments of no less than 24 inch in calibre'. Whether such term infers the planned superweapon megaproject of Kinnator or not remains a mystery... ...For the time being, KN is settled with their current class of battleships, notably the KNS Resolute, KNS Repulse, and KNS Retribution whose strength has been proven in the total destruction of one of the Zirax Regional Fleet. To-date, 7 of Revolution class battleships have been constructed, including the leading ship KNS Revolution, the latest addition KNS Resurrection, and the two battleships currently under construction, the KNS Redemption and KNS Revenge. Unlike their preceding sister ships, however, the latter two were seen as having 2 additional main battery barbettes in place of the triple fighter hangars, suggesting they are designed as a new subclass of all-gun battleships based on the same hull... ...More unknown number of order for the Revolution class has been placed by KN as a part of Kinnator military expansion programme..."
