Caesium Cutter

undefined

The Caesium is a class of cutter constructed by the Shaltari Tribes. Smaller than the Reykjavik and Nuuk cutters employed by the UCM, the Caesium is nonetheless a fast and lethal killer. Sporting a specialised version of the Shaltari's typical disruptor weapons, the Caesium can close on its preferred targets and unleash a precise volley of fire before soaring away at breakneck speed. Though physically fragile, even for Shaltari standards, the Caesium sports a fairly durable shield for its size, potentially preserving it through enemy return fire. It doesn't hurt that the Caesium is by far and away the fastest warship in the galaxy, outstripping even Scourge cutters in terms of speed.

Though the Caesium is favored by any Starchief that needs a crucial target destroyed early into an engagement, it's also the preferred ship of Shaltari privateers. Rogue Starchiefs will often command swarms of these vessels in raids against vulnerable targets.
