''Exarch''-class Cruiser

The Exarch-class Cruiser is the largest and most powerful combat starship currently employed in the battlegroups of the Grand Fleet.

At current date the Grand Fleet operates approximately 1,100 of these vessels. They are more than capable of operating solo, as well. In the event the Empire sends an Exarch to an area, it is a sign that Antara Prime takes whatever the situation is seriously.

The senior officer of the vessel will hold the rank of senior commander. The first officer will hold the rank of commander, and all department heads will hold the rank of subcommander.

Prominent vessels of this class include the ANS Aquinne (Emperor's personal starship), ANS Auxilia, ANS Dahak, ANS Rielle and ANS Satazius.
