Editing Fleets of Chaos (section)

=== [[Chaos Cruiser|Cruiser]] ===

'''Devastation'''

The Lance boat of the Chaos cruisers, the Devastation supplements this long-ranged firepower with a pair of Launch Bays to for fighter and bomber support. Which is weird as it's weapons are shooting the shields and its bombers are hitting the armor under the shields, so they're not actually complementing each other. Unless the guns are meant to defend against escorts and attack craft are meant to swarm capital ships when working with a similarly outfitted fleet. It's also armed with medium-ranged macro batteries in front, in case battles come a little closer in than usual (speaking of, mixed range weaponry didn't work well in the first world war and is a dumb mistake to repeat). Chaos lords love these things, as they use those Launch Bays to sortie assault boats full of mutant fodder.

'''Murder'''

A mixed-weapons class, the Murder has front-mounted Lance battery and medium-ranged macro broadside batteries. Historically this class preceded the ''Lunar''-class, but Imperials have since stopped using it even in Reserve fleets. Which is weird as it would be an excellent compliment for the Lunar-class. Grab a couple squadrons of Lunars with two ships in each and one squadron of Murders (or whatever the Imperial name is) to act as a reserve. The Murder and Lunar rips through shields and the Lances obliterate the vulnerable enemy ship. The Murder's speed would also be great for this as they can stay out of range and swoop in when and where they are needed.

'''Carnage'''

The long-ranged ordinance-boat of the Chaos Cruisers, the Carnage features plasma macro batteries on its front, top, ''and'' broadsides. The Imperial Navy intended the class to be plasma-heavy fleet support ships, but the tendency of crews to go Renegade made them abandon its plans. Servitors would have been a good idea.

'''Slaughter'''

A high-speed Cruiser, thanks to its Scartix Engine Coil drive, it has the highest speed of any cruiser, period. The ''Slaughter'' bucks the usual Chaos S.O.P. by having medium-ranged macro batteries for its front and broadsides. This means that it can get in close, hit its enemies hard, then get out before they retaliate in kind. The Imperium doesn't build the Class anymore, as the designs for the drive were destroyed when one eventually went Traitor. What do you mean why don't they just keep using the factories or look to how they built said factories in the first place or check the Temple of All Knowledge? Shut up, logical heretek!
