Skarovas Enforcer

The Skarovas Enforcer is the Vasari's Heavy Combat Cruiser.
Official Description: As the most powerful direct combat ship in the Vasari Empire before reaching capital ships, the Skarovas is armed and armored for a fight. Utilizing twin heavy plasma wave cannons, this heavy cruiser is able to destroy many enemy vessels before needing to withdraw. Like its smaller cousin, the Ravastra Skirmisher, the Skarovas support Reintegration technology and inertial fields that slow nearby targets, allowing Skarovas to keep enemies in range of their dual plasma wave cannons.
==Overview==
The Enforcer is well-named, indeed. Serving as the Vasari's Heavy Combat Cruiser, the Skarovas Enforcer is meant to rip through the enemy lines, and keep them from escaping with its Inertial Field. However, the target has to be right next to the Enforcer before it can use its field, but that's precisely where you want to be, anyway. When activated, the Field reduces movement and acceleration by 100%, slowing its victims to a crawl, if not stopping them outright. They CAN still phase jump, however, so it's best to catch them mid-flight, deep within the planet's gravity well.
This said, this ability has a hefty 7-lab research requirement, and is not all that useful, so it is rarely used in competitive games.
==Tactics==
The Enforcer serves as the Vasari's best damage-soak ship when both levels of Reintegration researched: it allows for an impressive 36 hull points to be repaired per second, for a total of 720. The ability can be reactivated every 60 seconds. Given the relative difficulty and scarcity of Vasari repair otherwise, allowing your Enforcers to soak up enemy bomber fire and to then use Reintegration can be a great way to give the rest of your fleet a much-needed break.
If you can acquire the Enforcer with Reintegration early on, you will have a huge advantage over your opponents, because Reintegration is especially effective at keeping Enforcers alive when fighting small enemy fleets. The Enforcer is also quite useful for attacking enemy-controlled neutral extractors, because it would require a substantial fleet investment by the enemy to destroy even a lone Enforcer.
