The GTBC Blade is the first battlecruiser constructed by the GTVA.

Description:

FOW Tech Room Description

The Blade is the first of the next generation class of warships employed by the alliance. The old cruisers carried too little firepower to cope with newer and larger warships, and didn't perform satisfactory against fighters in most cases either, so a newer and larger class of warships was produced - the battlecruiser. Larger then a cruiser but smaller than a corvette, a battlecruiser combines the best from both. It has enough speed, firepower and armor to threaten other warships and it's anti-fighter capability is immense. In addition, the blade is a heavily modular design, capable of quickly exchanging it's weapon systems at any shipyard. All of this makes the Blade a great asset on the battlefield for any commander.
