Autumn-class Heavy Cruiser (Shields)

The Autumn-class heavy cruiser is a heavy capital ship classification in the UNSC Navy. It is best suited to frontline combat duty, and in this respect replaces cruisers like the Halcyon or Marathon (shown above for comparison).

History
After the Human-Covenant war ended, the UNSC's arsenal of cruisers had dwindled heavily with so many lost in combat. It was time for a new, effective mainstay cruiser. The Autumn-class combines the defensive capabilities of the Halcyon and the offensive abilities of the Marathon. Based off of the UNSC Pillar of Autumn's (for which the class is named) design and modifications, the Autumn has firepower and durability in spades, able to take and dish large amounts of damage, largely due to its energy shielding as well as armor. The Autumn-class also has a small hangar to house a small compliment of Longswords.

Armament
Modified MAC, Archer Missiles, point defense turrets

Equipment
Jump Drives, Assembler, light shield generator, hangar space for 4 Longswords

Tactics
The Autumn is an excellent, if not expensive, frontline combat ship. Her durability and firepower allow her to take on and defeat enemy capital ships such as cruisers.

To use this ship: This ship has a modest interior with a pilot seat and control chairs to control frigates, fighters, and destroyers. It can also be set to patrol with its remote control block.
