==== Vior'la ====

[[File:14437268_f1024.jpg|right|300pc|thumb|The ''slightly'' more ion heavy variant.]]

The Vior'la variant which also sacrifices some of its attack craft for experimental long-range [[Heavy Ion Cannon]]s is the more anti-armor variant of the Lar'shi'vre. Whilst not a true lance-boat per se it fills a gap of a lance-mixed warship.

As mentioned above, the Vior'La isn't much different than its companion Cruiser, the one main shift being that it drops 2 points of damage per second and 0.3 critical hits per minute to extend the Ions cannon range to match that of its Railgun Macros. Its worth mentioning that both the dps and cpm lost from the on paper numbers, is lost from the macros and not the Ion Cannon lance weapon, thus the gap between the two cruisers, when you account for practical damage after accuracy modifiers and armor reductions, is actually a fair bit closer than it seems.

It is armed with 5 Missile Launching [[Gravitic Launcher]]s, 2 Launch Bays carrying [[Barracuda]]s, [[Orca|Orca Dropship]]s and [[Manta]]s, 8 [[Heavy Starship Railgun]] Coaxials, 2 [[Heavy Ion Cannon]] Coaxials and 2 [[Heavy Starship Railgun]] Artillery.
