Tribune Battlecruiser

undefined

The Tribune is a class of battlecruiser presumably developed by Trident Industrial in the pre-Scourge era. Like its sister class the Phalanx, the Tribune is significantly better armored than modern battlecruisers, but suffers from a relative lack of maneuverability.

The Tribune class trades the extra mass driver turret of the Phalanx for more conventional cannons, and the broadsides for upgraded close action weaponry. However, it also sports a cavernous launch bay that allows it to deploy bulk landers as well as voidcraft, making it a highly flexible threat on the battlefield. This design is quite unusual for a ship of its size - only the PHR's assault troopships stand in comparison to the Tribune, though at a significantly smaller scale.
