The heavy cruiser is one of the most powerful capital ships in the Kilrathi war chest.  Surprisingly fast and maneuverable for its size, this cruiser is armed to the proverbial teeth with more heavy-hitting weaponry and stronger armor than any frontline Kat warship short of a dreadnought. Mostly assigned to large battle groups in support of a heavy carrier, no starbase, colony, or warship is safe when this heavy cruiser is on an attack approach. In addition, its respectable fighter compliment can be used almost as effectively as a light carrier.
