Gladiator Grand Cruiser

undefined

The Gladiator is a class of cruiser constructed by Equatorial Yards in the pre-war era. Based off the licensed Centurion-class, the Gladiator was developed as an experimental test bed for vent cannon technology, similiarily to the Eden grand battleship. However, accients and internal meltdowns that resulted from such tests caused the EAA to shelve the concept of an all-vent cannon cruiser, as the ship has no other weapon to use should its core grow too unstable.

Both halves of the Resistance have found the Gladiator to be an effective tool. Independents favor it due to its lack of physical ammunition that would need to be supplied, and Kalium enjoys the power that vent cannon technology offers while not being weighed down by moral constraints. The Kabal has laid down three times as many Gladiators as were ever produced by the EAA, meaning they likely use this ship as the backbone for their fleets.
