Prophecy

The Prophecy is built on an ancient Amarrian warship design dating back to the earliest days of starship combat. Originally intended as a full-fledged battleship, it was determined after mixed-fleet engagements with early prototypes that the Prophecy would be more effective as a slightly smaller, more mobile form of artillery support.

Battlecruisers carry battleship-grade weapons on a cruiser-sized hull, giving them a damage output well above their price. The compromise is mobility: they align and warp slowly enough that disengaging from a bad fight is rarely an option.
