At the end of the [[M38|38th Millennium]], a new technique was found for extending the range of [[Plasma Weapons|plasma-based weaponry]]. The super-fired plasma weapons developed by [[Adeptus Mechanicus]] [[Artisan]]-[[Magos]] [[Hyus N'dai]] were built into the Tyrant class cruiser. In the [[M39|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 was soon realised that the long range fire was not much of a threat to anything bigger than an [[escort]], and the class fell out of favour.{{Fn|1}}
The ''Tyrant'' is as well protected as any [[Imperial]] cruiser, with reasonable shield and turret protection, as well as the classic armoured prow. It has no [[lances]], but both long and shorter range [[Weapons battery|weapons batteries]].{{CMEFn|1}}
