The Mason-class is a modification of the Illuminati-class. The Mason-class Guided Missile Submarine came about out of the necessity for stealthy-heavy missile support both in need of special forces teams and wartime strikes. The vast majority of the Mason is quite similar to that of the Illuminati and the Legacy, ensuring that training of sailors is made all the more effective.

The Mason-class is theoretically capable of ripple-firing all of it's missiles at one, however, it is recommended that they be fired over time.
