DESCRIPTION

The Tercio Class Cruiser is the product of Vianca Mecetti's new policy of naval modernization for the Mecetti House Guard. Vianca believes that a modern fleet must be made up of smaller, more numerous, advanced craft rather than larger ships which seek to intimidate by size and reputation rather than actual capability.

To this end, she is pursuing a smaller cruiser to become the backbone of the Mecetti fleet, rather than the larger Victory which has been the stalwart of the fleet for centuries. Named for an ancient battle formation of blast riflemen guarded by force-pikemen and shield-bearers, the Tercio combines long-range weaponry, shields, and point-defense into a potent package. It is somewhat less maneuverable than most cruisers, but makes up for it with a complex range of abilities that allow it to attack at a distance and defend against adjacent threats.

With the Tercio, the Mecetti fleet will be poised to emerge with a four-tiered fleet formation. Obscurer destroyers will act as command ships. Singularity Carriers will carry the bulk of embarked craft. Tercio cruisers will provide both interdiction and long-range fire support. And starfighter-scale craft will take the fight to the enemy.
