The Conquest class Heavy Cruiser is a line warship.

• It is a military ship and a Heavy Cruiser.

Description (Specifications)

This design is a product of the orbital boatyards of Tal Varisa (Far Home 0911), and represent one of the most dangerous battle lines anywhere in this region of space. Almost no other power can stand against their firepower and overwhelming numbers. However, their true function is disguised by subtle misdirection. They serve as tankers for the Magada class Battleships on special long range strikes.

The small craft factor indicates the number of squadrons (of ten craft) carried on the ship. Tonnage on the universal ship profile is shown in kilotons (thousands of tons) where necessary.
