Dominator-class cruisers feature powerful, short-range weapons batteries coupled with a Nova Cannon. They are something of an oddity in the Imperial Navy. Their weapons batteries are the strongest of any Imperial cruiser, and are only one of two classes to carry the Nova Cannon as a standard armament. In fact, this class has the lowest displacement of any Nova Cannon equipped vessel, making them valuable in certain situations where fleet size is tightly limited. However, the unusual aspects of the Dominator have made it somewhat unpopular among many Imperial admirals.The Fortitude is the second Dominator class ship to join Battlegroup Fortitas, after the  Thunderchild. A veteran of the Gothic War, the Fortitude was one of the many ships to see action in that conflict that were fitted with a Nova Cannon following the success Captain Compel Bast of the Imperious had with the weapon. As such, the Fortitude brings a great deal of experience to the battlegroup to go along with her long-range firepower.
