Referred to by ISA forces as advanced battlecruisers or battleships, the Arc Cruiser was an advanced offshoot of the standard Helghast Cruiser production line.

Specifications

An extension of the Helghast military's program to weaponize Petrusite, the new warship lead the counter attack in the wake of the nuclear detonation of Pyrrhus. Additions to the new warship included a long range warp jump generator. Another noticeable change was the loss of 2 of the engines from the side now only being 4 (in the normal cruiser there were 6) as well as the addition of a rudder-like projection to the rear of the ship.

Armaments

The newer cruisers are shown to be far more capable at taking on ISA cruisers. Weapons include:

• Four underbelly mounted petrusite beam cannons for long range ship combat (a deficiency of the original cruisers) and air-to-ground bombardment.
• 8 Leech Pods. This could be due to a tactics shift from brutal frontal assault to long range Petrusite bombardment, as the previous space has now been taken up by what appears to be cooling fins for the four arc cannons.
