This craft has weak points around its Bridge and Engines. Until the craft's Life-Support System and Engines are destroyed, it receives a General 1/4 Damage Reduction bonus.

Description: This Alien ship is a bit larger than a Confed cruiser, although size is not necessarily an indication of quality. More to the point is that the Hydra's anti-ship armament is also superior. It carries numerous Maser turrets and a hefty supply of missiles. Its shields and armor are of moderate strength.

There are shield emitters for the engines and bridge.
