Moriah Cruiser

Currently the largest fleet in the al Malik fleet, the Moriah is a solid vessel that forms the backbone of any expedition it is assigned to. Though it lacks the weapons and tonnage of a larger dreadnought, its typical role is to serve as a flagship to a fleet and lend its firepower to the traditional al Malik bombardment of rockets and missiles. In this it reigns supreme, being the only common vessel among the Noble Houses to sport torpedo launchers. These immense weapons are mounted in massive turrets, ensuring no enemy can approach without taking a huge amount of punishment as the projectiles pass right through its shields.

The Moriah is unusual for an al Malik ship in that it carries Marauders on board, and these elite troops often give a would-be boarder a nasty surprise if they manage to close range, fight their way past the hail of rockets and torpedoes, and then avoid the attentions of the gatling lasers.
