In an alternate timeline where Austria-Hungary continued to exist into the 21st century, the legendary SMS Blackstar emerged as a symbol of the nation's naval power and technological supremacy. As a Hydra Class Supercruiser, the Blackstar stood at the pinnacle of naval engineering, renowned for its unrivaled speed and formidable capabilities.

Commissioned in 1988 the SMS Blackstar was the brainchild of brilliant Austro-Hungarian naval architects and engineers. The vessel's design pushed the boundaries of what was deemed possible, incorporating revolutionary propulsion systems and advanced materials to achieve unprecedented speeds on the high seas.

The Blackstar's propulsion system boasted a unique combination of gas turbine engines and cutting-edge hydrojet technology. This hybrid setup granted the ship unparalleled acceleration and maneuverability, allowing it to effortlessly reach speeds that surpassed any other vessel in existence. The ship's sleek, streamlined hull further optimized its aerodynamics, reducing drag and enhancing its already remarkable velocity.

In addition to its extraordinary speed, the SMS Blackstar possessed a fearsome array of armaments. Its primary armament included a battery of long-range 350mm cannons capable of delivering devastating firepower against both surface targets and airborne threats. These railguns were complemented by an extensive network of secondary weapons, including anti-ship missiles, anti-air missiles, torpedoes, and advanced point-defense systems, making the Blackstar a formidable opponent in naval combat.

Throughout its illustrious career, the SMS Blackstar earned a reputation for its versatility and reliability. Whether serving as a high-speed escort for diplomatic missions, conducting maritime patrols, or engaging in strategic maneuvers during in times of conflict, the ship's presence on the open seas was a testament to Austria-Hungary's enduring naval power.
