Ancient beyond reckoning, the Raging Heart-class Cruiser is for all intents and purposes a pocket battlecruiser desgined from the get-go for energy weapon warfare. Triple-shielded, multiple-redundancy power conduits branch out from a plasma engine bearing indelible markings of the Jovian Shipyards of the Sol System.
What little of its history can be gleaned points at one and only one thing: The Raging Heart-class was built in the waning days of the Long Night, as the final, desperate struggles of Humanity against the Iron Men drew to their inevitable, tragic end.
