Heavy orbital combat units

Heavy orbital combat (HOC) units refers to units designed for heavy combat duties taking place in orbit.
These units are often in the heavier categories of airships such as cruisers, carriers, battlecruisers, holds and more. 
== Roles ==
The first role of a HOC is to provide the “3R’s” rest, repairs and resupply to the combat units that are in active combat scenarios.
HOC commonly fill a wide variety of roles in orbital combat situations, ranging from general support and carry roles to more specialized roles. 
=== Mobile base ===
HOC’s are often used as mobile bases that provide logistical and organisational support to the units in combat.
=== Weapons platform ===
HOC’s are often equipped with the heaviest ordnance available to the Dalmer in order to ensure the threat is neutralized permanently should the risk the enemy poses is significant enough to warrant the deployment of HOC units. 
=== Retreat ===
HOC class units also work as warp relays allowing a mass retreat of engaged forces should the situation require it. HOC units also serve as a last line of defense should the situation require it, firing all of its weapons at the enemy in the hopes of buying the survivors time. 
=== Medical ===
Since near space is outside of most medbay warp relays, the HOC unit often serves as a replacement mobile medbay for wounded combatants.
