Lathe-Class Monitor-Cruiser
Dimensions: 4.2 km long, .5 km abeam at fins.
Mass: 20.9 megatons.
Crew: 35,000 crew, 25,000 servitors.
Accel: 6 gravities max sustainable acceleration.
The Adeptus Mechanicus, being an entity that exists more alongside than as a part of the Imperium, maintains its own armies and warships. These fight alongside the Imperial Guard and Navy in times of war, but as many Magos are quick to point out, they do so as allies, not vassals.
The primary role of the Mechanicus fleets are exploration, not combat, however. Explorator fleets traverse the galaxy, looking for lost archeotech and ancient relics of the Dark Age of Technology. The Lathe class monitor cruiser is a perfect example of the ships the Explorators utilise in their fleets.
The design for the Lathe-class was uncovered in the deep data-vaults of Het in the Lathe system during the Angevin Crusade, and in the centuries since the crusade ended, the Lathe shipyards have diligently constructed multiple ships.
The design differs from many light cruisers, with an emphasis on long-ranged detection and endurance rather than speed and manoeuvrability. Outfitted correctly, a Lathe class can operate without refit and resupply for decades.
