Heavy
Cruiser (XMC)
Glorious
Heritage Class
Platform Overview:
The
Glorious Heritage class Heavy Cruiser is the bright
star of the High Guard fleet. As the most visible symbol
of the reach and power of the Commonwealth, command of these
vessels is reserved for the best and the brightest. Capable
of high-endurance, independent operations, the Heavy Cruiser
nonetheless operates most often as the central component
of an HCBG. They are ideally suited for interplanetary combat,
although they can play a significant role in planetary
strike operations and logistics support for the HCBG
as a whole. In addition, XMCs are often called upon to perform
disaster relief and refugee support operations due to their
spacious interiors and ability to ferry large quantities
of emergency supplies and additional personnel. During peacetime,
XMCs are most often tasked with independent intergalactic
exploration, charting and documenting the star systems of
the Local Cluster. They are also the preferred platform
for first contact missions, given their formidable combat
capabilities and their ability to operate without a battlegroup
- often critical to assuring potential Commonwealth members
that the High Guard comes in peace.
