As the sister carrier to the iconic Imperium Class Sky Fortress, the Rhine Class Fleet Carrier has a lot to live up to, but it does well to hold its own in two ways. 1) its broadsides may have a short range, but their Range Band 1 attack is devastat¬ing to almost any vessel. 2) anything hanging back in fear is just as vulnerable to the monstrous fore bombard. The Rhine makes for a good support vessel on the water and while it may not fit the blitzkrieg doctrine of the Imperium Sky For¬tress, its role in the fleet is no less useful.
