Type CA-VIII

The core of the Interstellar Pacification Force during the War of Pacification, the Type CA-VIII is more than a match for most powers Heavy Cruisers. She has becoming increasingly rare after the expulsion of the ISC to the Galactic Fringe, and even at the height of their power, given the lack of Capital Ships in the ISPF and the even greater scarcity of ISC Dreadnoughts, she often fulfilled the role performed by Battlecruisers in the forces of other powers. This "Cruiser-Gap" was long identified by Starfleet tacticians as a crucial weakness in the otherwise peerless Interstellar Concordium stratagem, but it is believed that ISC strategic planners, most likely Rovillians, were of the belief that the significant firepower advantages their starships had over their direct counterparts, combined with superior numbers of light Screen ships, would carry the day. Against divided, fractured opponents this likely would have been true, but the Interstellar Concordium did not foresee the powers of the galaxy uniting and turning against their oppressive rule. In any case, these impressive Heavy Cruisers are now in critically short supply, although it seems efforts are under way to establish new ship production facilities in the Galactic Fringe. Further more, as with lighter starship classes such as the Type DD-III Destroyer, Starfleet forces in the area have encountered an unarmed variant, the Type CA-VIIId, equipped with a pair of Klingon-type Heavy Disruptor Cannons.
