| Production Base | An unknown production facility within the Spung Empire. |
|---|---|
| Type | Heavy Cruiser. |
| Power Plant | Unknown, but apparently capable of enormous of energy. |
| Tactical Systems | Kill Cruisers seem to have a single layer of energy shielding. They apparently compensate for this deficiency by making their shields extremely powerful. Unfortunately this makes them the single greatest drain on the ship's power. When a kill cruiser needs to get to a location quickly the shielding is the first area that power is transferred away from, making the cruisers very vulnerable to attack. As mentioned above kill cruisers are quite slow due to their enormous size, when they are in a hurry power must be diverted from other systems to the engines in order to increase speed. Another problem with the increased bulk of a kill cruiser is that they can be detected while traveling in hyper space, making sneak attacks impossible. The primary weapon of a kill cruiser is the main Frag torpedo cannon. Frag torpedoes are extremely powerful weapons that, while slow, can cause devastating damage. They are well suited to planetary bombardment. Commanders of kill cruisers seem to rely mainly on the cannon when they engage an enemy although the cruisers may have additional weapon systems. |
| Maximum speed | Unknown, but definitely less than the Christa, if the encounter at Ragesh Nine is any indication. |
| Auxiliary Spacecraft | Since it seems unlikely that kill cruisers were designed for atmospheric flight its entirely possible that they carry landing craft meant to transfer troops to a planet's surface. |
