Take the ''Lunar'', replace the [[Macrocannon]]s with even ''more'' [[Lance Weapon|Lance]] batteries, and you get the ''Gothic''-class. Due to its weaponry, this class can easily deal with heavier ship types, but often have to work in conjunction with another ship to deal with enemy shields. This weaponry is also its main weakness: unlike macro cannons, lance batteries are delicate things, making it much easier to destroy the ships weapons. Lances are also less effective than macro cannons in a short-range broadside battle.

The ship has the distinctive armoured prow of the Imperial Navy and the standard six torpedo tubes of an Imperial cruiser. The class is as fast and manoeuvrable as any other Imperial cruiser type, with an equally good shield and turret coverage. Supported properly, however, and the Gothic becomes an effective capital ship killer.

In ''Battlefleet Gothic: Armada'' 1 & 2, the Gothic does well against heavily-armored foes thanks to the armor penetration of its Lances. The fact that Lances never miss doesn't hurt either.
