Description: The Primus class is heavy duty cruiser, designed to hold a battle line. As such she was given a full hanger bay, which was capable of having optional hanger lay outs. Though the one using adamta class ships does have tanks with it, as it expected to help out in ground attacks. The main problem with the hanger is the width of it to support the adamata class ships, as such it has a very wide area for enemy boarding ships to gain entry. Though it does have a good point defense system to help prevent this, though no defense is full proof.
The other problem with the ship, is it's total size had made it slow to maneuver in combat. As such it can't focus it weapons fully on fast ships, so relies on it turret positions against smaller agile ships. This would give it maximum of a quarter of it's guns at any one point, against anyone ship. This does not apply to it's torpedo array, as they are all forward facing to attack the enemy ship.
As this is a ship of the line, 70% of it gun batteries can fire forward at it's enemy. Also this number does not change, against big ships even if not on it's forward arch. Though as the torpedo array is forward facing, this will not be able to applied to ships on it's flanks.
As the ship can be used to help ground attacks, it is capable of making a landing on a planet. Thus it has a full marine battalion, to help out on any assault. Though as it not very maneuverable, it is easy target for ground base weapons trying to take them down. The maneuverable issue also makes it easier to hit, even by other ships. As such the shields where made stronger to help prevent this, though the armour density could not be increase due to prohibitory costs.
