Description: Designed as another long range combat vessel, the Octavia class cruiser follows on the heels of the Oberum class frigate to join Rendili Stardrive's growing manifest of heavy hitting ships at both long and short distance. Meant to operate in a fleet with Oberum Frigates, Dreadnought Cruisers, and Hammerhead Frigates as support, the Octavia class cruiser operates as a longe range bombardment vessel with the Oberum Frigates and Spearhead Heavy Cruisers while being defended in close range by the more heavily armored, armed, and shielded Dreadnought Cruisers while Hammerhead Frigates act as hunters of medium sized capital ships attempting to take advantage of the gap in the long range warships close combat efficiency. Packing several heavy turbolaser cannons all the same to deal with close ranged opponents and plenty of defensive emplacements for anti-starfighter and bomber defenses, the Octavia Cruisers are said to be a personal favorite of Stardrive's current CEO.
