• Eraser: The Halcyon brings devastation to any enemy fleet. It is designed to do nothing but destroy with its immense armament. Its great bulk and firepower would be the last thing many would see.
  
  
• Bulwark: The battlecruiser has amazing defences to compensate for its great and slow bulk. Wounding or even killing this beast would be difficult with its shield system, hull and point defence firepower.
  
  
• Nice compliment: The Halcyon may not be a Carrier, but it sports a decent complement of support craft that could aid it in a pinch. or loose some more Attack Corvettes onto an enemy fleet.

• Tortoise: In order for the Halcyon to be the eviscerator it is, the great Battlecruiser is slow and a sitting duck. It's designed to sit and shoot, so concentrated firepower and numbers of faster craft could overwhelm it.
  
  
• Thirsty: The Halcyon has devastating firepower, but a lot of it is very energy consuming. All energy weapons can't be fired at the same time and would need time to recharge. The strong reactor system is also quite volatile so should be taken care of properly and not overloaded or the ship could blow from the inside easily.
  
  
• We few: Due to the price of manufacturing this beast, there aren't many of the Halcyon being produced. It is very much felt financially if one is lost and it won't easily be replaced, if at all.

The Halcyon is the final and most devastating piece of firepower that Doreva Industries and Rothana Shipyards have produced yet in order to bring The Foundation a flagship that could be feared while it aided the organisation in its endeavours.

The battlecruiser sports immense firepower capable of destroying its enemies. One would truly think that the apocalypse has arrived when this beast enters the battlefield. It's great defences and capable support complement makes one confident that there is little out there that could hurt this monster. With this bulwark protecting it, the Foundation fleet would definitely be able to extract refugees and relocate them safely.
