[[Image:tyrantcruiser.jpg|thumb|right|A Tyrant class Cruiser]]
At the end of [[M38|the 38th Millennium]], a new technique was found for extending the range of plasma based weaponry. The super-fired plasma weapons developed by [[Adeptus Mechanicus]] [[Techpriest|Artisan-Magos]] Hyus N'dai were built into the '''Tyrant class cruiser'''. In [[M39|the 39th Millennium]] the Tyrant class was popular, due to its superior range over other cruiser classes. It was theorised that the Tyrant would be able to deliver both long range fire, and short range fire, of the same power. However, it soon was realised that the long range fire was not much of a threat to anything bigger than a escort, and the class fell out of favour.<sup>1</sup>
