- This article describes Abelt Desler's second flagship. For its predecessor, see Deusura I. For its successors, see Neu Deusura and Deusura III.
Deusura II (DEUSURA 2, Deusura 2)[6][2] was the flagship of Great Garmillas Empire ruler Abelt Desler. Officially dubbed a Special 1st Class Astro Combat Ship, it is the only vessel of its type in the imperial fleet, and the only one to be armed with a wave motion gun. Deusura II briefly became Desler's seat of power following his exile.
History[]
In 2199, a failed assassination attempt destroyed the original Zoellugut-class dreadnought Deusura I, paving the way for Deusura II, commandeered by Colonel Harz Lecter, to become Supreme Leader Desler's new flagship.[7]
Desura II's independent core ship approaches its dock on Baleras II.
Over the next several months, an alien vessel, the Earth battleship Yamato, fought its way through imperial defenses toward the Salezar system and the planet Garmillas itself, forcing Desler to devise and carry out an intricate plan of his own using Deusura II. Upon Yamato's arrival, Desler opened fire with the Desler Cannon. His shot narrowly missed Yamato and instead struck and obliterated the gas giant Epidora. The Earth ship battled its way toward Garmillas and eventually rammed the imperial place. Desler, already waiting aboard his core command ship, ordered flagship captain Harz Lecter to launch from the palace and to dock with the rest of Deusura II aboard the Baleras II station. Without warning, Desler re-routed control of Baleras II's computers to the core ship, detached a large section of the station itself, and sent it hurtling toward Yamato, the palace, and the capital city. This attack also failed, and Desler turned to the Desler Cannon once more, personally taking the weapon's controls on the Deusura II bridge. Before he could fire, the Baleras II reactor overloaded in an act of sabotage, and Deusura II barely managed to warp away to safety[8][9]
Desura II snares Yamato inside a subspace corridor.
Believed to be dead, reviled for his actions during the battle, and replaced by a new regime on Garmillas, the now exiled Desler used Deusura II as his base of operations over the next two months to gather support from loyal military forces, and to plan vengeance against Yamato. At the Battle with Desler in Subspace, an attack by forces under the command of Major General Gremdt Goer drove Yamato through an Subspace gate and into a subspace corridor, where it was easily seized by Desler's flagship. Gamiloid troops forced their way onto Yamato and nearly succeeded in securing it before they were disabled. With capturing Yamato no longer an option and all conventional beam weapons rendered useless by conditions inside the subspace corridor, a desperate Desler prepared the Desler Cannon, ignoring the fact that using it in the corridor would be suicide. Yamato counterattacked, firing a volley of shells from its cannons that caused damage at multiple points across the flagship's hull, including the bridge. Desler activated the weapon, causing the energy of the wave motion gun to rip Deusura II apart from the inside and blasting the bridge and the core ship away and clear into the corridor [2].
The core ship was found by the Gatlantis Empire, and Desler himself was recovered. The core ship was then repaired and attached to a new hull of Gatlantean design. Dubbed Neu Deusura, the new ship continued to serve Desler as he hunted Yamato on behalf of the Gatlantis emperor, Zworder[10][11].
