Brief Background:
The Cerberus formed the mainstay of the Grand Cross' fleet divisions, acting in a variety of different roles along the front lines
of the Space War. It was a patrol ship, troop carrier, and attack cruiser all rolled into one, blending
balanced speed and combat capabilities. Following the war, most of these ships
were decommissioned, stripped of their weapons, and sold as transports to the
private sector. A few stubborn crews, however, managed to escape the United
Alliance Armed Forces' equipment round-up, and still roam space, along with
sections of Earth, with their vessels completely intact. Some have joined up
with mercenary bands or pirates, both of whom have rarely had access to such
craft in the past. Others have hidden their ships, patiently waiting for the day
when the colony revolution against the Alliance will begin again.
