Z-920 Medium Cruiser

The Z-920 Medium Cruiser was a Forerunner warship in service before and during the Forerunner-Flood War. It was noted for its large arsenal of weapons that could be mounted on it hull and it ability to carry thousands of Sentinels and enforcers to the battlefield. During the war it acted as support for much larger vessels and would be deployed by the hundreds within a single Forerunner fleet. They were also the main production line of the Guardian of Norma, a Forerunner battle station and shipyard located in the Norma Arm.
==Offensive capabilities==
The Z-920 carried a large amount of artillery pieces that made it dangerous for other ships around its own size or smaller. It was also equipped with a single Z-8060 Particle Canon to combat larger threats. The huge particle canon was flanked by many small docking bays where Sentinels or other attack crafts could dock or launch during battle.
==Defensive capabilities==
The Z-920 was equipped with a strong energy shield to protect it from large amounts of damage before the any real damage could reach the Hard Light layers and Forerunner metal plating that covered the cruisers surface. Like the energy shield of the sentinels the shield of the Z-920 was made up of thousands of hexagons that covered the cruiser in a bubble-like protective shield.
The layers of hard light armor could be shifted around for temperately close hull breaches or reinforce heavily damaged locations while the metal plating beneath the Hard Light layers were fixed in the form it has. This metal plating is extremely dense and strong, able to take impressive amount of fire before showing signs of any actual damage.
==Operation==
The Z-920 was favored largely because of it independence. Like with many other Forerunner ships
the Z-920 could easily be remote controlled from the safety within the Guardian of Norma. It processed an advanced network problem solving programs that allowed them to most simple situations without much oversight From stronger ancillas or Forerunners. This also made them rather easy command in larger numbers for non like the or . It also made it easy for the Ember Coalition take control over the Guardian of Normas defense fleet due to this, the majority of the fleet being composed of the Z-920 Medium Cruiser.
