Description/Overview:
           The CC-01 Stealth Cruiser was the begining of the first signs that craft using Light Bending Shields had an upper limit due to the massive amounts of power they required in order to make a ship invisible to the naked eye. Sensor invisibility was actually proven to be better than a traditional cloaking device for heavy-scale (ships over 1,000,000 tons displacement) spacecraft. Nevertheless, Khazar was determined in the early 2180s to have his fleet of LBS capable Alien Repulsor spacecraft and invisibility was part of the criteria he laid down. Therefore, the CC-01 Stealth Cruiser class was constructed. These 1,500,000 ton ships required a pair of the large-scale Intersection Drive units designed for the DD-01 Stealth Destroyer class of vessels.
            The CC-01 Stealth Cruiser was essentially just an upsized version of the DD-01. It used the same weapons only more of them. Even the mecha compliment of the ship was identical to that of the destroyer and frigate classes. This was due to the massive amount of power the Light Bending Shield system of the CC-01 required. The internal space of the ship was consumed by the fusion reactors, and fuel. The Battle of Altair VII was the only action the CC-01 was a part of. In the battle the CC-01 class of Stealth Cruisers didn't give the results that Khazar had hoped for, in fact, his conventional fleet of newer, more advanced, non-stealth ships built in the 2190s performed far better. All of the CC-01 class Stealth Cruisers built by the Tartarian Technocracy were lost when the Goro Yuradei passed through the Annunaki Galaxy Gate, taking them with it.
