- SNIPER SHIP: The Mercury's rail guns are not only powerful but deadly accurate.
- PROTON BEAM CANNON: This powerful, concentrated fire is both devastating in its damage capabilities but also can send a target's crew into confusion because it "just doesn't stop".
- WEAK UP CLOSE: The Mercury is armed and able to provide some defense, but her strength is in distance.
- LUCKY SHOT: With all of the ordinance and weaponry aboard, a well placed shot could "one shot" this ship.
The Mercury came from a realized need for more dedicated long-range firepower. Carriers have them out of a basic need to be able to launch their fighter screens but not dedicated ships for this particular theater. This particular cruiser's artillery ports are sectioned above the main hull and away from any possible interference. She is not strong in close combat though, requiring other ships involved. The ship's new design further upgrades systems at the expense of hangar space and maneuverability.
