Cruisers are versatile warships, larger than Destroyers but smaller than Battleships or Carriers.
They can fulfill a number of roles: patrol, escort... but they shine as a rapid response unit.
Armed with huge anti-capital projectile cannons you would expect to see mounted on much larger capital ships,
together with their impressive propulsion system, taking up about a quarter of the ship, and onboard fighter/bomber support
they are very capable and efficient if used correctly.

Modelled in Solidworks, textured and rendered in C4D with minor editing in PS. Part of a project to create a fleet of spaceships, and feature them in an animation.
