- Super Acclamator - The ship is a dedicated planetary assault ship, capable of carrying an entire Army Corps worth of troops, vehicles and supplies to a world.
- Linebreaker - The ship, while having decent defenses, is not meant for line combat but to rather quickly overcome planetary defenses and land troops. The ship is constructed to keep its complement safe and bring it to the target, not pick up fights.
- Dedicated - As a dedicated anti-planetary defense ship, the ship requires support when engaging enemy fleet elements, especially those with anti-capital ship fits.
- Sluggish - The Tacitucs-class suffers from very bad steering capabilities and therefore is best kept in a straight line.
- Cargo Capacity: 19.200 tons
- Passengers: 32.000
- Vehicles: Up to 5.000 tanks and walkers

The inside of the Tacitus are meant and designed for troops in transit, there is not much room or idea for extensive weaponry except for those which will support the planetary landing itself. Capable of handling an entire army corps worth of troops and their equipment, the ship can take on entire continents or even worlds on its own, depending on the adversary of course.
