STRENGTHS

• “Heavy Hitter” - the Vengeance Class carries an armament that would be respectable on a ship twice her size. Her well rounded armament of NZ HP2 heavy turbolasers, DPT-1 Dual Purpose Turrets and LC-2A point defenses make her a genuine threat to anything from capital ships to fighter swarms.
• “Fast and Agile” - a good weight to thrust ratio means the Vengeance Class can effectively screen the Stryker II, chase down lighter vessels, run from battles she cannot win and arrive at engagements before the enemy is ready. Her base ratings of High speed and maneuverability can be enhanced by AIMS and SLAB.
• “Independent Capability” - each of the eight Vengeance Class Cruisers can operate as the nucleus of its own mini taskforce of itself and two Bullet Class frigates as escorts.

WEAKNESSES

• “Not a Capital Ship” - the Vengeance class is the most dangerous ship in the Outer Rim that is not a capital ship. If fighting alone in a sustained battle against a genuine capital ship such as an Imperial II ISD she will lose.
• “Few Fighters” - The Vengeance Class carries one squadron of fighters. This is sufficient for self-defense and limited escort operations but provides no meaningful offensive fighter capability.

DESCRIPTION
The Raider II Class Corvette was an already capable design. Fast, aggressive, heavily armed, it was the perfect template. N&Z Umbrella Corporation and Mahporeem took it and scaled it up to 600 meters. The result is the Vengeance Class Cruiser.

In terms of profile the Vengeance Class is very similar to the Raider II, sharply angled, sleek elegant lines. Except now its 600 meters not 150. Much like the ship she was based on the Vengeance Class is heavily armed for its size. The NZ HP-2 main battery gives her genuine capital ship threat capability. The DPT-1 secondary battery covers every angle. The LC-2A point defense network handles fighters and ordnance. She can engage anything she is likely to encounter and present a credible threat at every range.

Their doctrine is simple. They are fast enough to screen the flagship, armed enough to destroy anything lighter, tough enough to absorb punishment while doing it, independent enough to detach and operate alone when required. There are eight Vengeance Class cruisers in First Scouting Squadron. Each is paired with two Bullet Class Frigates to form eight separate mini task forces. All together they form a powerful escort for the Stryker II. Detached they are capable enough to operate alone.
