The class that the other Imperial Grand Cruisers are based on, the ''Vengeance'' was configured to take out its targets at extreme range. Armed with long-ranged [[Plasma]] [[macrocannon]] and heavy [[Lance]] broadsides as standard, the class has more than enough firepower to fend off a Cruiser or an Escort squadron.

Due to its lack of any prow and dorsal weaponry, the class is very vulnerable once any opponent manages to close the distance. It's particularly vulnerable to Attack Craft, as it doesn't have enough guns to defend itself from successive waves of attacks even though it has better shields than most Cruisers.

The ship design is now 10,000 or more years old and is being slowly phased out. The remaining Vengeance class ships are currently in reserve fleets or used to protect shipping lanes from pirates. They are very rarely used in full-scale engagements any more, due to being outclassed by newer designs, but only a fellow grand cruiser or a full battleship can hope to face its broadside one on one. The opposite of outclassed, and there are no new designs of grand cruisers and the Imperium is no longer able to make battleships which means the grand cruisers are being removed while still being sorely needed considering the primary enemy of the Imperium relies heavily on large numbers of cruisers. But, the Imperial Navy can’t abide common sense.
