The capital ship of the retreating Hegemony fleet. It anchors the back row behind its escorts and slowly closes in, every gun on its hull trained on you.
ARMAMENT
- 01Main batteryThree triple turrets. After a charge tell, each fires a rippled three-shell HE salvo fanned across your position.
- 02Broadside secondariesFour twin turrets rake the flanks with sustained fire.
- 03VLS missilesMissiles pop up from the shoulder cells, then turn and seek you. Shoot them down.
- 04Spinal mass driverCharges for over a second behind a fixed aim line, then fires one very fast slug along it. It does not track.
BEHAVIOUR
- 01Capital armourHeavy shields and hull. While it is above half hull, a VECTOR strike breaches half its hull instead of destroying it.
- 02Fleet anchorHolds the back row, advances slowly over the wave and turns its prow toward you.
TACTICAL
Leave the aim line the moment it appears — the slug goes exactly where it points. Breach it with VECTOR, then finish it with sustained fire.
