Information

The CC Escudo is the first command battlecruiser constructed by the Deterrence for the Cimitarra Company. Constructed in response to numerous enemy attacks within the Imperio's borders and originally slated to be part of the main fleet, it was instead assigned to the Company as an effort to bolster its numbers. Currently, it is crewed by a sizable contingent numbering a few hundred Deterrents.

Equipped with the latest in Corsair technology, the CC Escudo is a battle-ready self-sufficient mobile platform. Although it currently lacks the capacity to efficiently house snubcraft squadrons, it is expected to be the lead ship in any operation the Cimitarra Company is involved in, and should be protected at all times due to the exorbitant repair costs it would incur should the ship be heavily damaged in combat.

In order to keep its crew active for any situation, it also houses numerous training rooms designed to increase the morale of stationed Deterrents. Training is mandatory and every crewmember receives 4 hours every day. Strict security systems are installed within every room to deter any possible mutinies.

Currently, its main purpose is to defend the Omicron Gamma system from any hostile incursion, but rarely it will accompany a Deterrence invasion fleet should the need arise. As of this writing, it is currently undergoing a series of upgrades to its weapon systems.
