Usually cruisers opperate in pairs, the lunar is no exception, with one being better than two, as it allows twice the firepower to be bought against the enemy, whilst forcing them to half their reply. The standard tactic with the lunar class is to fire the torpedos whilst closing with the enemy. This will cause some distruption as the enemy attempts to manouver away from the torpedos. This distruption will hamper attempts to fire upon the pair of cruisers, and they will get within range, and turn their broadsides to face the enemy. From here, they will fire volley after volley into the enemy whilst circling at full speed.
The Lunar class is represented in almost any Imperial Fleet that one will see, as it is uncomplicated to produce. Even [[Industrial World|Industrial]] or a [[Hive World]]s, with no ship building expertise can build a Lunar class in short periods of time. The ship ''[[Lord Daros]]'' was built in orbit of the [[Feral World]] of [[Unloth]]. For eleven years its inhabitants mined and smelted ores to be presented to the 'sky temples'. Their perciverance was rewarded with the birth of a new star in the heavens, which left to join its brothers in the cosmos. This 'new star' was the ship ''Lord Daros''' plasma wake, as it left the system to join its fleet.
Amoungst the many famous Lunar Class ships, these stand out as paticuarly honoured. ''[[Lord Daros]]'', ''[[Retribution]]'', ''[[Agrippa]]'', ''[[Minator]]'', ''[[Iorn Duke]]'' and ''[[Justicar]]''.
