BACKGROUND

The Cerius is one of the most important elements of a Kyremian fleet. While its performance on its own is nothing to write home about, it is the most important ships in the fleet. Not because of its ability to shred unarmoured ships rapidly with its 6 turrets, but because of its ability, in conjunction with fleets, to coordinate and focus firepower in specifically defined spots. This would be dangerous to deal with on its own, used offensively or defensively, but the Cerius has other tricks. Its ability to spirit fleets out of danger coupled with its usage of boarding parties makes it a nightmare to combat. Enemies can expect to see Kyremian fleets teleport out of sight while still having to deal with heavy fire and boarding parties combined.
