Triumvir Repair Cruiser

undefined

The Triumvir is a class of cruiser typically fielded by Resistance navies, and it's not hard to see why. In the wake of the Scourge invasion, most shipyards were lost to Resistance fleets, forcing repairs to be done in the depths of the void. This specific scenario is where the Triumvir shines - though it possesses a battlecruiser hull, the length of the ship is dominated by service arms that allow it to run complex repairs without the need for a shipyard.

That said, the Triumvir is more than a noncombatant. When deployed as part of a fleet action, its service arms can inject nearby ship hulls with a rapid-cure polymer foam to seal off hull breaches, keeping allied ships in the fight longer. Additionally, it's hangars - typically occupied with repair barges - can instead be filled with fighters and bombers, making it a multipurpose support ship.

In-Game
Though theTriumvir's damage potential is lacking, its main value is in keeping nearby ships afloat throughout a game. Ships near the Triumvir get a +2 to their damage control rolls, and should an allied ship with more than 4 hull points be destroyed, the Triumvir can cannibalize its parts to repair another nearby ship. On top of its respectable 6 launch, the Triumvir is well-placed to support a Resistance fleet - just don't expect it to contribute much in the way of shooting.
