The '''Gothic Class Cruiser''' is a common sight amongst the [[battlefleet]]s of the [[Imperium]], second only to the [[Lunar Class Cruiser]]. Its usage is similar to that of the [[Apocalypse Class Battleship]] in that it is designed to use its lances to directly damage a ship, rather than to cut through shields. Due to this, it is often paired with a Lunar Class or [[Dominator Class Cruiser]]. The second cruiser blasts down the shields, leaving the hull unguarded against the Gothic's [[lance]] decks. However, if caught alone, without support, the Gothic is more vulnerable than any of the other cruisers in the [[Imperial Navy]]. This is because, whilst lances are devastatingly powerful, they are also slow, and a lone Gothic cannot deal the damage fast enough to force an attacker to withdraw.<sup>1</sup>
