Heavy Cruisers
Heavy cruisers are among the slowest and least
manoeuvrable starships. Heavy cruisers are being phased out by some races in
favour of modern battleships. In battle, Cruisers support and reinforce capital
ships which are present and which form the main line of battle, generally from
the flanks. They also perform independent operations, often forming the centre
of task forces which have no capital ships. Cruisers are also put to use as
independent ships.
Cruisers are more lightly armoured and less heavily armed than battleships.
Cruisers are assigned to support battleships and carry combat to areas where a
battleship is not considered necessary.
