View source for Lathe Class Monitor Cruiser

{{AdeptusMechanicusPortal}}
The '''{{PAGENAME}}''' is a [[Cruiser]] class vessel of the [[Adeptus Mechanicus]] unique to the [[Calixis Sector]].{{Fn|1}}

Like many Mechanicum ships, the Lathe Class specializes in aiding [[Explorator Fleet]]s. The design was uncovered in the deep data-vaults of [[Het]] in the [[Lathe System]] during the [[Angevin Crusade]]. It differs from many Light Cruisers, with an emphasis on long-ranged detection and endurance rather than speed and manuverability. Operated correctly, it can operate without refit and resupply for decades.{{Fn|1}}

The Lathe Class eventually gave birth to a variant design known as the [[Secutor Class Monitor Cruiser]].{{Fn|1}}
