This ship might be a little overpowerd from the start, however I intended for this to be a modified Rock cruiser (because those missiles are a pain to use
). The ship is focused around teleporter battles and has a pierce laser and small bomb for those pesky drones. Again, this might be a little OP .«[Download

«[BACKSTORY/LORE
The skies around them were covered in ash from the orbital bombardment of the planet. The battle was almost won, but at what cost.
Over the course of months, the paramilitary Excelsior had been fighting to take the mining planet of Optyx away from the Rebels and grant it part of Federation space, allowing the Federation to get stronger materials to build their ships out of.
TL;DR
A Rock cruiser with cool weapons and a 4 man teleporter.
"Sir, the immediate area has been cleared of hostiles and we have armoured support on the way."
"Good, once we get that armour we shall make our final push into this rebel fortification and take the planet" responded Marshal Spectre. Along with Marshal Ghost, Spectre had been leading the campaign of Optyx, in hope for glory to to the Federation.
"Aye, Spectre. Excelious wants us to meet him back at the 5th mining facility.", Ghost said to Spectre on his comm.
"Tell him I'll be there in a few minutes", replied Spectre.
Spectre put the most experienced Brigadier in charge, and took a small shuttle back to the mining facility. Once there, Spectre noticed that the Revenant was landed, and wondered why.
"Today I have received valuable information from our intelligence force. In fact so valuable, that it could lead to an immediate halt to the Rebel threat." said Excelious.
"I request for you two to aid me on my quest and hope that you understand the importance of this."
"Yes sir" responded both marshals.
"Good, now I am assuming you both know the Revenant?" asked Excelious
"Of course we do."
"Great, however, this Revenant has been updated with newer technology. It has been painted black to help us stay hidden with space, and now has a teleporter installed with it"
The trio went onboard the Revenant, and opened up the star map.
"Our destination is 8 sectors away from the current location" said Excelious
"But that's where the Federation base is." said Spectre in confusion.
"Exactly".
