Among the latest ships to emerge from the Grand Fleet's shipyards are an advanced line of battlecruisers based on an evolved superstructure. With the same combination of speed and lethality, this supports all existing classes in addition to a range of new variants, offering PHR admirals many fresh tactical options.
This new hull can also be configured as light Supercruisers or enlarged Pocket Battleships with an enhanced degree of tactical utility. Rumour has it, these are so modular as to be convertible to a different class in mere days - an advancement the UCM can only marvel at.
Most notably, many of these incorporate a cavernous prow launch bay. These carry a single, massive structure which can self-deploy to the surface. Multiple varieties provide anti-orbital fire support and potent electronic warfare capabilities.
