Purge Vessel
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||
To the humans of the Trader Worlds, the shape of the Purge Vessel is reminiscent of a great bird, but it‘s one bird nobody wants to see in their sky. Lightly shielded with moderate armor, the Purge Vessel can rain down powerful kinetic bolts onto an undefended world, laying it to waste. Purge Vessel crews are recruited from amongst the most zealous of Advent converts, and see themselves as direct incarnations of the Unity‘s desire for retribution. Although the ship is not heavily armored or shielded, Purge Vessels will often rush through a contested area in their eagerness to deliver justice to the unfaithful.
More expensive than the other faction's planetary siege frigates, the Purge sustains a higher base armor, making it more resilient to enemy fire. The twin Plasma cannons, are mounted forwards almost as an afterthought and are not very effective against other ships. Research early in the Advent Tree allows the Purge to deal more damage than other factions' equivalents.
