Capital Cruiser - Hipocritus

"Down came the judgment on the hypocrites as the very space shook beneath our resolve."


Following the many space-bound defeats of the Cartagena System Rebels against its oppressive regime. A new weapon would be needed to gain a footing in the war.
Designed by Lucas Santana, the founding father of Luc's Corp. The hipocritus-class capital cruiser was created as a broadsided frontline fast-moving behemoth, and due to its size, it would also fulfil an empty role in the Cartagena System Rebel's navy since they had no major large ships.

The hipocritus-class capital cruiser was by no means bigger than the most powerful ships in the enemy's navy. But even with its size it was a faster ship and could be deployed anywhere when needed.
Besides its smaller size, the ship also had problems dealing with missiles and needed constant fire support to make up for its weakness.

But out of all its weaknesses, the one more obvious was that it was a rushed ship created in the nick of war. Little effort went into making the hipocritus design cheaper, and due to its prohibitive price, only the bare minimum of these ships would leave the ports.

With all its ups and downs the hipocritus-class was still instrumental in the war of liberation of the Cartagenan star system. But soon it would be replaced by its more advanced cousin, the MK2. Which lacked most of its old firepower but was cheaper and overall more nimble.
