{{ChaosPortal}}[[Image:Slaughter Cruiser.jpg|thumb|right|Slaughter Cruiser^{{Fn|1}}]]The '''Slaughter-Class Cruiser''' is a fast, short-range gunship, armed to the teeth with massive [[weapons batteries]] and a modest array of broadside [[lance]]s. With its advanced [[Scartix ]]-engine coil , giving it the speed of an [[Escortescort]], it can pounce on stragglers and Escort escort squadrons then use its firepower to blow away destroy its victim before the enemy forces can stop it.^{{Fn|1}}

Unfortunately, when the ''Dutiful'' - later renamed the ''Soulless'' - turned renegade and bombarded the [[SelethanForge World]] of [[Forge WorldSelethan]], the design for the Scartix engine coil was lost. Some believe that this was in fact the purpose of the attack. If so, the ''Soulless'' succeeded, as no more Slaughter-class ships could be built.^{{Fn|1}}
