- A heavy cruiser is a type of starship that is heavy armed and defensible but have the capacity to assume multi-mission roles.
- In the 22nd and 23rd centuries, the term was used synonymously with battlecruiser. For example, the Klingons referred to the Enterprise (NX-01) and the USS Enterprise as battlecruisers, although Starfleet classified them as heavy cruisers. (ENT episode: "Judgment", TOS movie: The Search for Spock)
- While the Federation considered their Constitution-class starships to be heavy cruisers in their heyday, the Klingons referred to the refit version of the same vessel, in their terms, as a battle cruiser. (Star Trek III: The Search for Spock) Ambassador-class starships were also classified as heavy cruisers. (TNG: "Conspiracy" ) In an alternate timeline, the Ambassador-class was simply referred to as a cruiser. (TNG: "Yesterday's Enterprise" )

- The term "heavy cruiser" refers to a type of starship. Heavy cruisers are larger and more heavily armed than light cruisers but typically smaller and less powerful than battleships or battle cruisers. The term is sometimes synonymous with "battleship" and "battle cruiser".

- The term heavy cruiser is a starship classification that is applied to large multi-purpose starships, and are similar in many regards to explorers. In the 22nd centuries and 23rd centuries, the term was used synonymously with Battlecruiser. For example, the Klingons referred to the Enterprise (NX-01) and the Enterprise (TOS) as battle cruisers, although Starfleet classified them as heavy cruisers.
- Heavy cruisers were the first real step of escalation in ship sizes during the First Interstellar War. The Khanate of Orion Navy had fielded light cruisers since before the war, but the Terran deployment of larger heavy cruisers in 2207 started an escalation in ship sizes that continued for the rest of the war with the Orion's Delgor-class seeing service later that year. Although quickly dwarfed, heavy cruisers remained an important part of the frontline fleets for years. By the Third Interstellar War, with the arrival of strikefighters, heavy cruisers declined in importance and were less often seen in frontline combat.
- Heavy cruisers (often abbreviated to CA for "Cruiser, Armored") were a class of medium combatants. They were designed for long-term independent action as a system picket, a heavy commerce protection unit and as a screening unit for capital ships. Heavy cruiser mass ranged between 160 and 350 thousand tons. The PNS Sword of the Sword class was an example of a Havenite heavy cruiser. (HH3) Heavy cruiser classes introduced during the First Havenite-Manticoran War had mass ranging from the 400 thousand ton Edward Saganami-A class to the 600 thousand ton Mars class.
