Reach-class Heavy Cruiser

"Beware this vessel! One is a curse but two are surely your doom!"

- Ship Master Vikadus to prospective officers

Named in honour of mankind’s first, and greatest extrasolar colony, the lives up to its namesake as a highly independent and rugged warship. Possessing armament, speed, and armour in abundance, these ships serve as smaller brothers to the larger Battlecruisers. They are often seen guarding vital space lanes, or patrolling colonies. Occasionally, such vessels are deployed in so called Gúta Formations, with two ships in formation that prove to be utterly lethal to Covenant fleet formations.
