DESCRIPTION

An advanced and heavily-reinforced variant of the Core Destroyer, the Bullhead class battlecruiser was the first capital ship designed and built exclusively by the Core and APM. It was originally intended to make up for the Thresher class destroyer's lack of firepower, which often left early Core fleets out-gunned. As such, it focuses entirely on providing extreme offensive firepower, and when left unchecked on the battlefield will cause havoc among enemy capital ships. This ship's hull was later redesigned to withstand the fire of heavy battleship weaponry, making it a dangerous long-range vessel against enemy battleships. However, due to its reduced manoeuvrability, the Battlecruiser can be vulnerable to enemy bombers, and so it rarely takes to the battlefield without its own anti-bomber escorts.

The Bullhead is used for major combat deployments that involve countering enemy capital ships where agility is a necessity. The Bullhead is also used for recon and exploration and it is armed with advanced radar and scanning technologies to fulfil that purpose.
