Description

The Cronus is an extraordinary object. In contrast to traditional models, it draws its energy from a Perpetuum Mobile. The high asking price is to cover the cost of full-time psychiatric care for the many scientists who lost their minds while developing the ship's energy system. This ship includes an integrated Khador Drive.

Characteristics

The Cronus is a moderately armed and armored ship, with 2 primary and secondary weapons slots, and 190 Armor points. Surprisingly, the Cronus's two secondary slots make it the most heavily equipped in terms of secondary weapons of the Deep Science ships, although the others both have 4 primary weapon slots. The only outstanding feature of the Cronus is its integrated Khador drive. Interestingly, its stats are almost exactly equal to the H'Soc, except for its cargo hold, which is doubled.

You also receive this ship for free from Khador as a thanks for defeating Alice, which is the end of Valkyrie's story line. You are required to use this ship in the final battle with Alice which can arguably make the fight much harder.

Trivia

• In Greek Mythology, Cronus, or Kronos is the Titan lord of time.
