Orion-class Battlecruiser

The Orion-class battlecruiser is a specialized capital ship classification in the UNSC Navy. It is best suited to long range combat and support.

History
As the war dragged on, the UNSC finally announced the production and commission of a new warship, the Orion, also known as the Artemis-class. One of the few ships designed during the conflict, the Orion-class's appearance on the battlefield proved a valuable one. Its ability to easily engage and inflict heavy damage on Covenant ships from beyond their weapons range made the Orion a powerful addition to the fleet. Its twin experimental MAC cannons exponentially outrange, outspeed and out-damage the MACs aboard any other UNSC ship.

Armament
Twin Prototype MACs, Archer Missiles, Point Defense Guns

Equipment
Jump Drive, Assembler, Long Range Sight

Tactics
The Orion is a sniper ship, its biggest assets being the main cannons which have much longer range and more damage per shot than Standard MACs. However, it has fewer missiles other UNSC craft and light armor. It is best used from just behind the friendly lines, supporting the fleet with extremely long range accurate attacks.

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.
