It reminds me of that :

It's from an manga called Ginga Sengoku Gun Yuuden Rai. There is also an anime dubbed in English.
Woops ! I didn't use the correct word... It's not dubbed, it' sub-titled... -_-' It's also Chinese sub-titled. Sorry...
Ah, finally the Taiidan are getting some new bigger and badass ships, the other factions need to fear the Taiidan Empire again :P
This looks awesome cant wait to use it vs battlecruisers.
Too much sharp details. Reminds anime - Evangelion suit head. Classical taiidani designs looked more practical and earth-like.
Decapitated Bumblebee?
I like it, but I have to kinda parrot a few of the other people here, it has a bit too many sharp angles, the Taiidan aesthetic is present but seems more refined. I'd say whether or not this fits in is a matter of context, I could see this as a refined post HW1 design, or something that was designed during the events of HW1 but entered into service too late to make an appearance, it definitely comes off as much more modern than most of the other ships, particularly the cruisers and destroyers.
I'd also say it desperately needs more lights, at least from this angle it's kinda hard to tell that's supposed to be bigger than the cruisers and destroyers due to the lack of small details on the hull.
Lore-wise I can see the clear departure from traditional Taiidan design as a geo-political statement, thus the extravagant and over the top crass features. Because nothing else screams "we are stronk again!" than over the top powerful symbols of force.
Edit: just read the lore, yeah swiping some Vaygr features as they left the unwanted union makes a lot of sense.
