RanCorp Thorne Class Battle Cruiser

The Thorne class battle cruiser is a long armoured cone of firepower. From the engines
to the bow the ship narrows llike a thorn, hence it's name sake. The only protrusions
on the craft's smooth hull are the many weapons, the sensors and comunications and the
bridge viewport inlay. The Cruiser is longer than an Imperial class star destroyer
and just as intimidating. Becuase of the rounded design coupled with the use of
turrets the weapons systems on the Thorne cruiser are incredibly flexible in their
fire ars. They can be surrounded by enemy ships and deal massive damage to all
it's tormentors. RanCorp was imensely proud that their ship design teams started
to cacth up to ground work teams that made RC famous with such war machines
as the dreaded RanCor heavy repulsor tank.

Weapons Notes:
        3D Fire Arcs: all fire arcs extend above and belwo the ship in that fire
        arc as well. Thus the weapons can fire in a 3 dimensional arc without
        a change of rule systems or a change of fire arcs.
        Extra Fire Arcs: extra firearcs for straight up or staright down ahve been
        added
        Rounded Hull: because of it's design the weapons turrets all can hit most
        fire arcs.There are technicly no sides on the ship so the way it
        works is as follows:
        Left turret: can swing using turret rules to left, forward, aft, straight
        up, and straight down fire arcs
