Riposte!įor its size and age, it carries a respectable amount of firepower, especially in comparison to the other basic cruisers like the Aten and the Cain. It should also be noted that the LTerSlash can glance off the ship you're protecting and smack you up. The LTerSlash beam is completely useless against other capital ships, but it gives the Fenris a chance to stand against freighters and transports, at least.

Don't waste your Cyclops (or even Helios) to this ship, a bank of Hornets or primaries will do the job just as well. The AAA beams are situation on the lower left and lower right towards the rear, and have wide arcs of fire don't do too much in the way of evasive turns, jink instead.Īlthough it is twice as fast as the Leviathan, the Fenris is not as good as its big brother. A group of these cruisers is not to be underestimated, as their combined AAA beams will rip your fighters and bombers apart.īest way to tackle this ship is from the upper fore. In terms of firepower, it is adequately armed, with 2 AAA beams, a LTerSlash (Doesn't do much, but good against freighters and such, even though most freighters can outrun this cruiser.) and a Fusion Mortar. A Hornet barrage will cripple this cruiser, if not destroy it. Weakest cruiser in the game in terms of armor. $POF File: Fenris.pof Credits: VA / Karma / Hades / Nyctaeus Gallery The Fenris's speed and maneuverability make it a good choice for strike missions.įenrir (Anglicized spelling Fenris) is a gigantic wolf and the son of Loki. These fast, versatile cruisers pack enough punch in their 260-meter-long hulls to go toe-to-toe with any enemy cruiser. Fenris cruisers have fought in virtually every theatre of operation.

During the war, Terran Command decided to build a second line of cruisers, the Leviathans, to free the Fenris from escort and guard duties. Before the Great War, the Fenris was Terran Command's only class of cruisers. The GTC Fenris class is the aging stalwart among the Alliance's warships. It was later decided that a second line of cruisers would be produced, for defensive purposes, once it became apparent that the V-T war wouldn't be over in a few months. The Fenris cruiser was originally designed as a strike weapon, hence its fast speed and decent turning rate.

With a full array of weapon systems and a strong enough hull to withstand the strongest enemy warheads, a Fenris Cruiser can be found in almost any system that the GTA is operating in.

From nose to tail it measures 260 meters. The mainstay of the Terran Fleet, these vessels have served in both strike and defense purposes. As of the Second Shivan Incursion, the Fenris was considered outdated but only slightly inferior to the SC Cain. Fenris cruisers were considered by the GTA to be superior to the Vasudan Aten-class cruiser in terms of effectiveness. Many Fenris cruisers were still in commission and saw engagement during the Second Shivan Incursion and NTF Rebellion, having been equipped with beam technology and used extensively by the Neo-Terran Front. Together with the GTC Leviathan line of defensive cruisers (which were said to have resulted from modifications to the Fenris), these were the only canon Terran cruisers of the time. The GTC Fenris was the main attack cruiser of the Galactic Terran Alliance during the 14-Year War and the Great War.
