Tidani Navy, Space Fleet

Orca Class Cruiser

<div" class="plainlinksneverexpand">

The Orca Class Cruiser is the largest ship currently built by Tidan. Heavily armed but very slow, it is more than capable of taking out anything it can hit. It's point-defence guns can deal with strike craft, but they do little damage to capital ships. Maneuverable capital ships like frigates and destroyers are often able to avoid the heavy turrets and cannons, this is why Orca's rarely are without escort.
