* Stygium Cloaking Field Generator: The various ship classes emerging from Project Fenris are highly specialized warships, equipped with a cloaking system. Incorporating a system built around the properties of Stygium crystals located at the heart of the ship, the Type B is capable of concealing its presence from enemy vessels
* KC-8086 Phase Shifting Array Hyperdrive: Fenris cruisers are equipped with a Phase Shifting Array Hyperdrive which allows them to slow down to sublight speeds while remaining 'submerged' in hyperspace

* Stygium Cloaking System: The Type A Fenris Cruiser is outfitted with a Stygium cloaking system that allows it to hide its presence from enemy ships, making it invisible to any vessels not equipped with sensors that can track stealth vessels, although a brief window exists when the ship is detectable after exiting hyperspace, before the stealth system goes online
* Stealth Carrier: The Type B features the largest hangar of the various Project Fenris cruiser classes and serves as the main carrier for the Fenris task forces
* Race Horse: Highly specialized warships intended to harass and cripple enemy formations, the Project Fenris cruisers are notably faster than regular ships of comparable size

* Weak Punch: The Type B is designed to serve as a fast, stealthy carrier and almost all available space is taken up by its ventral hangar, leaving no room for the various power systems required by heavy weapons
* One-Trick Pony: As all of the available space is taken up by the hangar and the various systems of the cloaking field generator, the Type B is incapable of performing any other role and struggles to adapt to situations it is not designed for
* Sitting Duck: The Type B is extremely vulnerable to enemy attacks due to its almost complete lack of heavy armament, especially of the close range variety, making it an easy target for enemy warships if it is detected

Emerging out of the combined efforts of the Eternal Navy's strategic theorists, Project Fenris is one of the most highly classified armament efforts ever conducted by the Eternal Empire and for good reason. The result of a decade of military experience, the Project Fenris cruisers are intended to be the deadly poisoned dagger of the Eternal Navy, delivering fatal blows to its enemies and crippling their supply lines.

The Project Fenris cruisers are not line-of-battle warships by a longshot, unable to hold their own in any kind of traditional engagements, intended to operate deep behind enemy lines and strike at high-value targets, only to swiftly disappear afterwards. To achieve this, they make use of a complex Stygium-based stealth system which enables them to hide their presence from enemy sensors until they fire.

Although all of them are formally labeled as Fenris-class Cruisers, this designation in fact refers to several different classes of warships, all built around a common hull design and stealth system and with matching performance in terms of speed, both in hyperspace and in sublight travel.

Due to their size and the sheer amount of weapons and various systems packed into their hulls, the various classes of Fenris cruisers have very cramped interiors and as such, every inch of available space is utilized as efficiently as possible. A posting aboard a Fenris cruiser is a claustrophobic experience.

The Type B is distinguished from the other Fenris classes by its large hangar, serving as the main carrier for the Fenris task forces, carrying and servicing three squadrons of starfighters which it deploys into combat primarily as escorts.

Because of the limitations of the Fenris hull design and the energy requirements of the stealth systems and hangars, the Type B has neither the room, or the power production to support heavy armament, aside from a pair of heavy torpedo launchers, being equipped with a very small number of close-range armament.

Like all Fenris cruisers, the Type B ships do not receive a name, but a number and letter designation, a decision taken for security reasons, in order to make it easier to conceal the project under copious amounts of red tape, Type B Fenris cruisers receive the designated letter 'U', followed by a three-digit number beginning with 2, distinguishing them from other classes of Fenris cruisers. Example designations would be U-212, U-264 and so on.
