PRIMUS-CLASS BATTLECRUISER

The primary capital ship of the Centauri fleet, the Primus is a deadly opponent. With four battle lasers to take on large targets and several particle beam arrays with wide firing arcs to discourage fighter attacks, the Primus is unmatched by most other alien races. The Primus can house twelve fighters in addition to two shuttlecraft. In addition to its standard armaments, the Primus can be outfitted with a mass driver, allowing the ship to perform devastating planetary bombardments.
