**Description**: The Triumvirate Heavy Cruiser is the name given to an otherwise unknown class of large High Guard starship used as command ships by the Triumvirate of the New Systems Commonwealth. Although specifications are not given, the ship appears to be similar in size to a Glorious Heritage Class heavy cruiser.

Although its capabilities are largely unknown, the Triumvirate Heavy Cruiser clearly presents some degree of threat to a Glorious Heritage class heavy cruiser, as evidenced by the crew of Andromeda's reaction to both vessels of the class when encountered. The ship is unwieldy enough that it cannot successfully navigate the Gordian Maze.
