Description: The largest of the known vessels in the Vorlon Empire, the heavy cruiser is a titanic ship. Although there are some who have claimed to have seen larger, dreadnought-sized ships sailing through hyperspace near the borders of Empire territory, this is easily the largest of their war fleet. Able to withstand terrible amounts of damage while positioning its bulk to where it can bring its own weapon arrays to target an enemy, the heavy cruiser is like a fortress of staying power. However, its defensive capabilities are nothing compared to its deadly arms compliment.

With a massive set of four focusing coils that bring together a huge blast of electromagnetic energy nicknamed the ‘lightning cannon’ by any who had ever seen it, the main weapon of the heavy cruiser can tear a ship apart in seconds. When combined with the comparatively minuscule discharge gun array that it hides along its hull, the offensive capabilities of the heavy cruiser can match that of some space stations when aligned properly against a single enemy
