Length: 455 meters
Width: 135 meters
Crew: 20 (effective nominal complement), 1 (officially assigned)
Primary Armament:
2 Gravitically Tunneled Maser Cannons (forward firing)
-theoretically unlimited range, heavy anti-ship weapon
2 Modular Armament Mounts (dorsal and ventral)
Dorsal - Wave Motion Cannon
capabilities classified (black level clearance required), forward firing, alien artifact
Ventral - Dread Fighter Bay
6 Dread-A space superiority fighters
2 Dread-B atmospheric surface engagement multi-role fighters
2 Turreted Particle Beam Cannons
-medium range anti-ship weapon, mounted dorsal and chin-ventral
10 Naval Laser Arrays (turreted, port and starboard, 6 dorsal, 4 ventral)
-point-defense weapon
3 Multiple Warhead Missile Racks (two forward on strakes, one aft-ventral)
-7 MIRV warheads (2.3 megaton each) per missile, 5 missiles per rack
2 Anti-Matter Torpedo Tubes (forward firing)
-smart homing AI, rapid firing launch speed (150 torpedoes)
Defensive / Repair Systems:
Multiple Layered Particle Field Array
-primary defense against energy attacks
Composite Diamond / Titanium Armor
-primary defense against kinetic attacks
Nano-fluidic Repair Circulatory System
-allows automatic repair of any damaged system
Powerplants:
Tri-Singularity Drive
-provides power for all systems under normal use
Independent Fusion Reactors - "Fuseactors" (4)
-provides emergency and supplemental power
Drive Systems:
Heavy Gravitic-Ion Drives (3)
-sub light propulsion only
Mass Inversion Drive
-FTL propulsion
Communications Systems:
Hyper Pulse Generator
-interstellar FTL communications
Sensory / Detection Systems:
Life Detection Sense
-telepathic in origin, tied to ship's primary core
Electromagnetic Sensor Arrays (2)
-detects radiated energy across full EM spectrum
Magnetic/Gravitic Detection System
-detects mass and gravity
Crystalline-Optical Field Devices (5)
-provide 360 degree field of vision
Keyhole TTR Drones (4)
-provide "look down" capability for tactical application
Designed by the infamous Dr. Kesten as a means to let dead warriors continue to serve, the Isenguard class series was a short-lived concept consisting of only two individuals. Each ship is grown around an egg using Third technology consisting of living flesh and crystalline matter to form it's hull, unlike anything built by Human hands.
When originally constructed, the Tersi was commissioned as the Darkso, however the ship's core consciousness was later replaced with her mate. At the time of construction, the Isenguard class was capable of obliterating entire fleets of human ships, and while those capabilities have been reduced due to human technology advancement, she is still more potent than any other single ship in the human fleets. She has recently undergone a massive retrofit to reconfigure her design to suit modern warfare technology and tactics.

Living ships area neat idea :)
This always makes me laugh with the logic behind it too:

Her outer hull is actually crystalline growth, not true organic, and while she has many organic internal components, she's more of a cyborg than anything else. Still, the link is pretty true from many standpoints, though they don't really relate to Tersi in others. In essence, she's a hybrid of conventional, organic, and crystalline design.
I’d love to see this ship face off against the might of a Keymind leading a whole Flood infected star system? Keyminds are the final stage of a Gravemind and are very intelligent. AI doesn’t stand a chance against a Keymind. The logic plague is its most powerful weapon against biological life forms and AI.
Different universes, so it's a question of which the author wants to win. Same with "who wins in a fight between two superheros".
Realistically, this is a "small" ship in her universe even though she masses about what an Iowa class battleship does. Her biggest asset is a great deal of redundancy due to her advanced technology, which results in a very small crew complement. Physically, compared to some of the dreadnought and superdreadnought ships from her storyline, she can hold her own but would lose in a pitched battle.
