Role[]
The main cruiser of the UIS is most commonly used as a support ship for UIS battleships , it has the capacity to attack larger ships , however as every cruiser it cannot take as much punishment as a battleship , this is why they are usually grouped together with battleships for protection.
the Type 05 is not avabile for civilian use , and even if it were , its small internal compartments and lack of atmospheric capacity would not make it the favorite yacht.
