Battleship is a general term to describe the largest combat ships fielded in galactic warfare (Space stations, Space Hulks and Craftworlds don't quite classify as a ship.)
They often possess vast amounts of fire power as well as landing bays for Attack craft and are commonly used as the capital ships in fleets due to the greater protection offered by their greater defences. They are usually accompanied by Cruisers and Escorts.
