Victoria-class Heavy Cruiser

"The most useless ship design i have ever seen."

- Cpatain Montgomery Williams

The Victoria-class Heavy Cruiser is a mostly defunct ship design that rose and fell from popularity in the space of five years. Originally, it was intended as a line breaker vessel, usually in a squadron and shielded by escort. It would hammer into enemy lines and unleash the massive armament of it's broadside MAC guns, though smaller than conventional MAC guns, they had a higher rate of fire and were more numerous, so in a shorter period of time they could cause significant harm. Though heavily armoured and with stronger than average shields for a ship of that class, it was capable of taking a tremendous amount on punishment while patly returning even more.

The ship quickly fell out of favour when HIGHCOM realised the cost of maintaining these vessels, with most usually being repaired after every battle. Fleet tactics changed and the ship quickly fell out of favour, with production ceasing and the few remaining being mothballed. They were moslty reverted to planteray defence ships however, in times of desperation, these vessels can still be seen rushing into the heart of enemy formations.

UNSC Comments
"Its a stupid ship design, cos it gets the crap blown out of it every fucking battle!"

"HIGHCOM doesn't like these things at all but despite the massive cost to maintain them they failed to take into account the damage they deal. At the battle of Argento, the UNSC
