Description: The Gyon-class heavy cruiser is designed differently from most Atrisian ships that focus on large fighter compliments. The Gyons are designed with two primary considerations, one being their point defense weapons and advanced sensors specifically designed to screen the rest of their unit from missiles and torpedoes. This makes up for the deficiency found in the other ships that either lack point defense, or have too few for their size.
The second consideration was their two main canons that run along the front half of the ship. These canons are slow firing, but extremely powerful. When used properly in conjunction with the ships' proton torpedos to disable shields first, the canons can be highly effective. However the ability to aim these canons is limited to the maneuverability of the ship, making it very difficult to target smaller, faster ships. Because of the additional space requirements of the weapons, these ships have a much smaller hangar than their size would otherwise allow for.
