STRENGTHS
- Multi-Role cruiser can be refit out of combat from 'Covert' to 'Assault' relatively quickly
- The Cruiser carries a cloaking device to mask it from sensors
- The shields can take a beating to give the ship time to
- The armor is weak when the shields collapse
- The assault version sacrifices engines for weaponry
- The covert version has a serious blind spot in its weaponry and lighter shields
DESCRIPTION
The Cipactli-class cruiser is a semi-unique offering from the SoroSuub Corporation at the direction of Home Guard General Coren Starchaser. A limited run of modular cloaked cruiser, the Cipactli has two major loadouts, both with their specific mission protocols. The assault version is a heavier hitting and longer lasting vessel that sacrifices speed and some of the more 'life safety' advanced systems to be a vessel of much else. The assault model is designed to work as a solo operator or within a larger team of starships that can either be a vanguard for a fleet operation, using its cloaking system, or a vessel that is designed to hunt targets on the farther reaches of space without being seen before the trap can be sprung.
The covert variety of the vessel is designed to be a true scout or courier vessel. Weapons designed to keep enemies away from its close range, or disable and disrupt their plans at far range, the advanced systems on the covert vessel allow it to scan systems, and move through enemy territory. Through the use of the HIMS system, the ship will have more capability to press deeper into a gravity well, the resulting system allowing the ship to be where it may not be particularly allowed, nor expected, and the Sensors Scrambling Suite will allow it attack the enemy's scanners, in order to find the safety of cloak, or break for lightspeed.
The Cipactli-class cruiser is released as a limited run vessel and as the advanced systems are designed to not interfere with themselves, are only granted to worthy causes or individuals by SoroSuub Corporation at the direction of General Coren Starchaser.
