From the occasion when Soma Union start a battle with Recluse, they knew that the sailing ability of Recluse was also far superior.

Soma Union need to defeat them even before the engine is being started, in order to solve this problem. But before the Hekate Class snipe ship was invented, other normal ships should do this job, that is too danger acording to low fire power of destroyer and slowness of battleship, also as well as the size of cruiser.

Then Raid Type Eris Class destoryer's engine modul was fast enough to surpass Recluse, that Soma Union began to develop a some number of small ships using the engine module of Raid Type Eris Class.

At this time, "Hekate Class Snipe Ship" was developed.

The 500mm Mass Cannon is the "symbol" for this ship, which can shoot over to 50 000 000km (50 million), that only just took 30second in time, (its faster than light) so Soma Union prefered to use this ship.

Nagative thing about this ship is that she can't hit target that is moving irregularly, because of the shall travel time and constance changing target position. Because of this, the usual combet range is about 1 000 000km. (one million)

Cruiser or smaller ships may be destroyed before even they see Hekate Class fire in this range.

Soma Union started to develop this ship because of thier needs, but it took a while to figure out how to put the fusion reactor to this ship.

They still don't know how to stop the explotion of fusion reactor, and only way to escape is to detach the white sphere, which is life boat and crew room at same time.

The speed of this ship is decrased significantly because of the over weight of the fusion reactor, the different thing about this class compare to Eris Class is that they can sail without the engine modul when the ship is unservicesable.

On other hand, the reload time is about one minute when she use only one turret, and it can't operate two of them smoothly.

In addition, one turret operation may let her to fire up to 4 cantance fire, not two turret operation. If it operate two turret with contance fire, reactor may explode by overload.

Hekate Class usually make small flotilla with Igdrasil Class Supporting Ship and went in search of the enemy ships.

Hekate Class almost never go with fleet, but may be alone or elite flotilla.
