Outro 4 - Confederation Tallahassee heavy cruiser

The Tallahassee heavy cruiser is the most formidable escort warship in the Terran Navy, it can outgun and outlast any fighting warship in the Kilrathi Navy short of a dreadnought. Neither fast nor agile as smaller destroyers and frigates, this warship instead relies on in heavy firepower and armor to bull through Kilrathi capships. Its keel-mounted plasma gun, anti-matter batteries, and missiles serve as invaluable fire-support for fleet actions and orbital bombardment operations.

These cruisers work well in pairs, especially in support of a larger carrier, but they also operate well alone or as a center of a small close action group. Equipped with a small hanger, these cruisers can support a half squadron of fighters and a complement of utility craft.
