Injunction-class Cruiser

The Injunction-class Cruiser was a heavy warship classification in service with the United Nations Space Command Navy following the Human-Covenant War Possessing heavy armour, a powerful armament and an expansive single ship complement, the Injunction-class fulfilled the traditional role of cruiser, that of power projection, supplementing lighter forces in battle and, above all, heavy ship-to-ship combat. With a design heavily reminiscent of much earlier cruiser classes such as the Halcyon-class Cruiser, the Injunction-class nonetheless incorporated a wide range of advanced and potent battlefield technology, demonstrating the UNSC's full recovery after the Human-Covenant War and its military strength.
==Role==
The Injunction-class Cruiser was a relatively large vessel in UNSC fleets, more uncommon than smaller vessels such as frigates and destroyers but more widespread than heavier vessels such as Heavy and Super Cruisers and Carriers. The Imjunctions main role was in offensive combat tasks, using its heavy armament and strong shielding and armour, in conjunction with its starfighter complement, to defeat enemy vessel classes. The Injunction-class possessed more than enough armour and plentiful heavy armaments to allow it to deal with light craft, frigates, destroyers and most vessels of heavier tonnage as well. The class' heavy shielding and armour allowed it to wither devastating assault and still remain operational to disable enemy vessels. The Injunction-class was equally capable at long and short ranges, possessing powerful long range armaments and a potent close range capability simultaneously, presenting a multi-role versatile cruiser class.
Another of the Injunction-class' main roles was that of power projection. Using a rapid slipspace drive and a capable starfighter complement, the Injunction-class was able to quickly deploy to problem areas, suppressing any resistance either with armed action or merely with imposing presence. This was particularly useful when dealing with small-scale armed rebellions, either human or former Covenant in origin, who would normally quickly disperse upon detecting such an oppressive force in the system.
The final main role of the Injunction-class was support of lighter units in combat. The class would often use its starfighter complement and long range weapons to support allied units, often from afar, backing up smaller and lighter vessels that were more able to reach enemy positions. In this role the Injunction-class could also operate as a flagship or coordinating vessel among fleets or task forces.
