Tech Room Description
The GTC Cretheus is a new light cruiser, designed primarily for escorting convoys and vunerable ships. With 8 dual flak cannons, it is capable of taking care of most fighter or bomber threats. Its two powerful engines allow it to keep up with any transport ship and almost match speeds with heavier fighters. When faced with a capital ship threat however, the Cretheus' only advantage is its small size and speed. Without any beam cannons and only light armor, the Cretheus must rely on heavier cruisers for survival. Cretheus Cruisers are typically in groups of two or three so that their spread of flak can cover more area.

The Cretheus plays a role in Vassago's Dirge, where it was a powerful yet fragile anti-fighter escort, capable of a quite impressive flak barrage but quickly wiped out by beam armed cruisers. The ship is expected to play a similar role in the second installment of Blue Planet: War in Heaven with a direct counterpart in the UEF, the Custos.
