Description/Overview:
            The Glorie class was the successor to the Sentinel class and served the same role as a hard-hitting mobile gunnery platform.  Whereas the Sentinel class was nothing more than PHELAC armed heavy cruiser, the Glorie class had a combination of new--Prodono and Varna derived--weapon systems intended to defeat energy resistant armor and plasma-shielding. While the four, triple, KAISER cannon turrets were excellent for melting down energy resistant armor plating, the pair of Electron-Element beam cannon batteries literally fired a concentrated beam of lightening (plasma) at a target.  If this beam of lightening hits plasma shielding (as used by the Prodono) it disrupts the integrity of the force field causing a substantial amount of damaging plasma to penetrate said shield (50% average bleed through).  This weapon configuration, coupled with improved engines, allowed the Glorie class to become a vital part of the Neo-Hebrew Cosmo Navy during the initial phases of the 2nd Interplanetary War.
