OVERVIEW
The aging Aegis-class WarShip needed a lift. Despite the facelift the Clans gave it, the obsolescent heavy cruiser remained just that--obsolescent. After WZISS agents "acquired" a mothballed Aegis cruiser from an unused Brian Cache, TME agents stripped it of weapons and equipped it with an entirely new set of weapons. The result of this, the TME-66 Aegis II, is a long-range bombardment craft. Armed with expansive arrays of capital-class missiles, it can assault over ranges of several hundred kilometers.
CAPABILITIES
The basic frame retains the Aegis's basic characteristics, with identical armor and engine statistics, but the heat sinks have been upgraded to double heat sinks. Twenty-four fighters were added for close escort, bringing the Aegis II's total fighter loadout to thirty. The gunners that are required for the additional weapons are given quarters as are fourteen platoons of marines.
This cruisers' primary armament consists of 160 Killer Whale heavy capital missile launchers capable of striking at extreme range. Twenty 35-class maul targets within medium and short ranges, while eight 55-class naval lasers support the weakly armed nose and aft locations.
