Description/Overview:
           With the introduction of Super Luminal Velocity drive technology into the shipyards of the various Terran borne powers of the Local Group of Stars in the late 2180s, Khazar demanded two new heavy-scale (above 1,000,000 tons) classes of Capital ships for his Alien Repulsor Fleet. Khazar's engineers and technicians had early access to the Prodono Android's technology allowing them to develop their own Super Luminal Velocity drive system independent of Central Control's fleet before the other Terran stellar nations. Immediately the SLV drives were applied to the design of the new Stealth Capital ships. Outside of its size, and the number of weapons, the ship was very similar to the CC-01 Stealth Cruiser. The reason for its size was Khazar's desire for the capital ships of his fleet to have a much larger mecha compliment. The HC-02 heavy stealth cruiser had ten times the hangar space of the CC-01 stealth cruiser. This increase in size also meant an insane increase in power requirement for the Light Bending Shield system due to the increase in square footage that had to be concealed.
          The HC-01 Heavy Stealth Cruiser only saw combat in one action--the Battel of Altair VII--where its performance was substandard. The regular Tartarian Technocracy warships did far better than the ships of the stealth fleet in that battle. Thus, the actual effectiveness of these ships was never really known. It is assumed by many military analysts that properly applied, these craft would have been very formidable in specific types of missions. Like all of the other ships of Khazar's Alien Repulsor Fleet, all of the HC-01 Heavy Stealth Cruisers were lost with the Goro Yuradei when it left the Altair system and the Local Group of Stars via the Annunaki Galaxy Gate.
