===Prop Miniature===
A single miniature of the cruiser was built, measuring 1 meter long. The miniature was visually larger than its size.
Because of how action-packed and CGI-heavy episode 42 was, the construction of the miniature and the brief scenes it was filmed in were restricted by the episode's duration, budget and production schedule.Expanded and Revised Edition: Earth is Ultraman's Planet - Dyna & Gaia Volume pg 115
The condition and where the miniature is currently stored in is unknown.
==History==
===Ultraman Dyna===
In an unspecified date, a TPC Mars Fleet was formed to protect the planet from outside threats. This fleet consisted of a variety of spacecraft, such as space cruisers and Cosmo Attacker space boats.
When Alien Reguran General Zoaka's saucer attack on Earth ended in failure, the alien proceeded with his other plan to disrupt S-GUTS from acquiring the Spacium Cannon prototype from Mars Base. A flying comet bomb was sent toward an asteroid belt with the intent of forcing asteroids on a collision course to Mars. Two cruisers from the Mars Fleet were deployed to intercept the bomb. The cruisers turned broadside and fired their first salvos at the target. However, the bomb remained unscathed and continued its course.
The ships intensified their attacks but were still unable to stop the bomb. They were destroyed when the bomb detonated inside the asteroid belt in the end, with their wreckage floating in the area as debris.
Additional cruisers participated in the Mars defense against Reguran's forces.Ultraman Tiga, Ultraman Dyna, Ultraman Gaia Hikari no Kyojin Korinroku pg 51

==Trivia==
*While classified as a cruiser, the ship's design contains elements of American and Japanese battleships.
**The upper superstructure and main gun turrets resemble those of a post-WWII Iowa-class battleship, while the lower bridge tower resembles that of a wartime refit Nagato-class battleship.
**The cruiser has structures resembling the American 5 inch dual-purpose gun turrets, Phalanx CIWS, Armored Box Launcher units, Harpoon Missile Launchers, and others.
*Although the ship's armament fires energy beams, the guns fire like gunpowder-based guns like those on real life warships.
