Battlecruiser

Battlecruisers are larger than Destroyers but smaller than Dreadnaughts. These ships are generally part of larger fleets and often rely on Frigates or Carriers with fighters and bombers to protect them. Second only to dreadnaughts they are extremely powerful with heavy firepower and shielding alike. Most battlecruisers can carry a small number of fighters and bombers for protection but are mostly used against other capital ships or during planetary invasions.
