Exequror II

In YC114 each major empire faction, having been embroiled in a harrowing, war of attrition, recognized the growing need for support and logistics functionality in their vessels during the kind of protracted interstellar warfare that might otherwise prove exhausting for its participants. Both Frigate and Cruiser-class ships were put under the microscope, and in the Gallente Federation, the outcome of the re-evaluation process led, among other developments, to a redesign and redeployment of the Exequror. The Exequror was a heavy cargo cruiser originally strong enough to defend itself against raiding frigates. However, it severely lacked prowess in heavier combat situations. After its redesign, it had some of its bulk - and thus some of its strength - yanked out and replaced with systems that would allow it to support other ships in heavy combat situations, and in particular, those that require armor repairs. After receiving an all-round combat performance upgrade, it can now undertake even more demanding combat missions.
