The dreadful phage, the bane of Vidiian existence, has propelled the Vidiians to the stars in search not of the knowledge and discovery they once craved, but rather for internal organs. In order to accomplish this, the Vidiians sometimes employ subterfuge, and sometimes brute force. The Vidiian Cruiser belongs to the latter category.
This powerful mainstay of the Vidiian fleet well holds its own against most other ships with similar staffing requirements. A (universal) Vidiian Cruiser's printed attributes outpower those of even the unique Galaxy, D'deridex, and Vor'Cha class starships, making it a formidable opponent in space battles. With its matching commander, Drenol, it becomes even more intimidating.
Once the Vidiian Cruiser gets you close enough to an opponent's personnel to attack them in ship battle, however, you might choose to steal their organs instead. The Vidiian Cruiser conveniently special-downloads the Vidiian Boarding Claw, which can get you aboard the opponent's ship. But that's another story.
Combos:
- Vidiian Cruiser + Drenol + Captain's Log: Sure, it's as plain as the nose that used to be on Drenol's face, but WEAPONS 13 and SHIELDS 13 is nothing to sneeze at. Since both the ship and its matching commander are universal, repeat as many times as desired.
- Vidiian Cruiser x2 + Vidiian Boarding Claw: One holds 'em steady, and one pops 'em off.
