| - They are designed for heavy engagements against enemy naval forces aswell as orbital bombardment. The noticeably unique design of the craft comes from it's extensive use of . The combination of Collector and Geth technology has proven to bring about a truly powerful starship. Heretic Cruisers are very large, being roughly 3/4 the size of a . The large vessels are capable of easily landing on the surface of planets and, with the use of advanced propulsion systems, can easily lift itself back into orbit. Because the Heretics do not require many of the necessities that organics need to sustain habitability on their ships, they are able to make it far more efficient. Most of the massive ship consists of weapons, an energy core, and engines. are attached to the sides of the ship's exterior hull and a troop deployment system exists within the ship, which is able to launch large numbers of soldiers from the belly of the ship. The armament of the ship is composed simply of a Heretic equivalent to and a powerful particle cannon, one which composes most of the ship's bow. This weapon is so powerful, it can tear through the kinetic barriers and hulls of and cruisers in a single strike. The greatest flaw in the cruisers design is it's underbelly where it is mostly hollow due to the fact that it holds large amounts of platforms. A large-enough explosion or a well-placed mass accelerator slug can tear the ship in half easily.
