Archangel [HF]

"Long before humanity reached Europa, Archangel-class hybrid light cruisers were proven to be effective both in deep ocean and in low-orbit combat scenarios. These machines are relics of better times, and it shows: advanced weapons and battery systems can surpass any rival, but burn through the fuel reserves like there's no tomorrow. Nowadays, despite several Archangels remaining intact, few can afford to maintain and operate such a vessel."

This sub is based on the "Archangel" light cruiser from the game HighFleet. Intended for mid to late campaign.
