Hades Class Cruisers

Three (3) Hades Class Cruisers were constructed as the result of a clandestine Imperial Council project, designed specifically to construct an independent War Fleet capable of defeating the defenses protecting the Imperial home-world. This was the beginning of the Coup against the Empire. When the Imperial Council unexpectedly learned of the project, the conspirators proudly revealed the plans for the "Asmodeus", the Emperor's New Flagship. This quieted the council just long enough for the 3 cruisers to be built and deployed.

These 3 cruisers... the Hades Class Heavy Assault Cruisers... are the most formidable Imperial Ships-of-War in existence. Alone, each ship can easily defeat an entire Imperial Squadron.

Charon was built with lighter armor and less armament than the others. Charon is by far the fastest and more maneuverable of the 3 ships.

Cerberus is the opposite of Charon... heavily armored and heavily armed. Cerberus was designed to pick a fight and win that fight.

Asmodeus is the most defensive of the 3 cruisers. Asmodeus is designed to take a pounding and keep on fighting... an ideal platform for a battlefield commander.

These 3 ships play a huge role in the fate of Occupied Earth, because they all unexpectedly went missing, shortly after the Coup. Once thought to be under the complete control of the New Empire, now there seems to be no one who knows who, exactly, is in control of these 3 dreadnoughts.
