Sensor ship. Reveals cloaked hulls and sharpens nearby allies' aim (+15% dmg).

01 · In the line
At 5 km/s it takes 12 s to close its own reach of 60 km.
02 · Weapon
30 an attack every 1.3s: 23 a second. Six attacks land 180 from one hull.
03 · Available tech
Bought mid-battle with supply. Each one gives something and costs something.
Adds a +50% outer targeting band. Attacks, repairs, and boarding channels operate at 55% output beyond native range, and armed squads hold that safer line.
Converts the squad into a breacher: it closes to 45% range and deals +60% damage there, but deals 15% less outside the breach band.
No single hit can strip more than 30% of maximum hull after shields. Mobile units lose 12% thrust; static emplacements lose 18% maximum integrity. Strong into alpha strikes, weak into rapid fire.
Burns at +65% speed while marching or closing on its chosen standoff, then disengages in combat; turn authority is halved during the burn.
Extends prophetic sensors to 80 km and shares a 10% firing-range forecast with nearby allies.
