Options
- Can be refitted with improved weapons batteries (like the Nemesis and Medusa after the Stabulo Campaign). Its 45 cm weapons batteries increase their range to 60 cm for +10 points.
- Can replace its Nova Cannon with strength 6 torpedoes for -20 points (like the Gorgon which had its prow severely damaged during the Stabulo Campaign).
- If the nova cannon is replaced, the ship may also take a power ram for +5 points, if it is part of an Imperial Navy, Adeptus Mechanicus, Inquisition, or Rogue Trader fleet list. This does not count as a separate refit. Ships so equipped impart one automatic hit during a successful ram on a target vessel before rolling for hits inflicted.
