Xiphos
Faction : Sorylian Collective

Description[]

Surprisingly well armed and armoured for a Carrier, the Xiphos is a reliable source vessel and a dangerous enemy. Fully able to trade blows with the foe alongside the Fleet's other heavy vessels, all the while supplementing their attacks or reinforcing their defences with the versatile Short Range Spacecraft it can supply, Sorylian Fleets place great value on their Carriers.

The Xiphos is the 2.0 version of the Morning Star Class Carrier. They have the same characteristics.
