[[File:14438455_f1024.jpg|300px|right|thumb|Going in close and personal.]]

The lance-boat variety. The Dal'Yth is a subtle redesign that replaces the Gravitic Hooks with short-range [[Heavy Ion Cannon]]s and is thus able to be better utilized in up-close engagements independently.

The Dal'Yth is the cheaper of the two Light Cruisers as far as up-front cost goes, but actually costs 30 points more than its companion when you take into the account the points cost of the Orcas, as mentioned above. Overall the two vessels are comparable, the Dal'Yth being more your preference if you need to bring more lances to the fight in order to combat heavy armor or issues hitting small and fast enemies.

It is armed with 2 [[Heavy Ion Cannon]] Artillery, 2 Light [[Heavy Ion Cannon]] Battery Weapons, 2 Double-Barrel [[Starship Railgun]] Turrets and 2 [[Heavy Starship Railgun]] Battery Weapons.
