Devastation Cruiser
The Devastation-class Cruiser is a fleet-support carrier used by the Forces of Chaos.
Overview
The Devastation-class is a tough and reliable carrier, able to launch four squadrons of Swiftdeath Fighters and Doomfire Bombers. Once its attack craft are launched, it is able to further support the fleet with powerful long-ranged lance emplacements on either broadside and racks of turbo-laser destructor batteries on its prow.[3]
The cruiser is equipped with robust repair and re-armament facilities for its bombers and fighters, as well as spacious cargo holds for the cultist and mutant rabble that man squadrons of Dreadclaw Assault Boats. The attack craft pilots and crews form highly competitive clans which constantly strive to prove their superiority.[3]
