I can't draw peoples, but this is from a furry setting, so... Drawing isn't accurate to the stats, too lazy to mod it right now.

The Kaida series of heavy space combatant was designed to counter the large heavily armored "cruisers" of the Larrin space fleet. The Matan Space Army had long since realised that it's standard SSVs were woahfully inadequate for fighting against the large combatants being built by other nations. The vessels are build around two large, powerful laser cannons, designed to drill through heavy armor and destroy internal systems. Backing up the main lasers are twenty four large missile launchers, each with five reloads, and a full sperical point defence system. Some thought was given to equip these vessels with the then in development Zone Defence Laser system, but the mass requiments of the mains proved to be incermountable. The ZDS was however incorperated into the later Escort LSSV type.
One major flaw in the design however, other then the heavy and vulnerable spin habits which Matan Spacers have long since made thier peace with, is the narrow firing arc of the mains and poor turn mode. It can take as long as twelve minutes for the Kaida to pivot a hundred and eightly degrees. This combined with a forty five degree off axis firing arc and the long cooldown cycle of the mains make it impossible for the Kaida to fire on a manuvering target, and PDS is far too short ranged to be used as an offensive weapon. This has led to the Kaida being something of a black sheep in the Spacey's design linage. Matan logistics favors long ranged independantly deployable spacecraft that don't require expensive escort during "peacetime". However, Kaidas are vitually incapable of fighting the Larrin's frigate (the equivelent of a Matan Space Combat Vessel, ~8000 tonnes) flotillas. If deployed singley or in pairs as Matan docterine calls for, a Kaida might be able to severly damage or cripple a Larrin cruiser type before being overwhelmed and destoryed by Larrin frigates. This is the primary reason for the construction of the Kirin series of LSSVs.
The Kaida is if nothing else extreamly survivable. The external/internal armor arrangment are remarkably resistant to sub relavistic kinetic strikes, where the skin plating will cause a penetrator to shatter, robbing it of it penetrating power. The tough nature of Buckyplate combined with the high thermal and electrical conductivity of the material are also quite resilant against explosions and to a lesser extent nuclear blasts, making the vessel virtually impervious to chemical energy attacks (of course the nature of space helps in that regard too). Although it's never been tested, a Kaida's spaceframe should be capable of withstanding a 1Mt nuclear event at a distance of one kilometer, anything closer however will result in critical damage, especially to the habitat joints. Pulsed lasers however have been found to be quite penetrating, though lasers tend to lack the ability to cause widespread damage needed to kill a large spacecraft. To date only a single Kaida has been lost to enemy fire. The SSV74/435 Kusanagi was struck by a shell fired from the massdriver of a human spacecraft. The round massed several hundred kilograms, and was traveling at nearly 0.09c (~20Mt I believe...).
Kaida's electronic systems are Matan standard, and have been upgraded several times since first assembly, including ECM, ECCM, large amounts of software, expert systems, and the standard Central Construct, from which a vessel draws it's name. Main drives use heavy water brought to fusion density using small mounts of antimatter, magnetic fields and lasers. (Even though water is non magnetic... don't feel like figuring out how it's supposed to work).
