The flagship (in more way than one) of the General Galaxy lineup, the No Quarter 'attack ship' is a technological tour-de-force. Originally designed at the request of a government-backed private military contractor, the untimely bankruptcy of said corporation resulted in the ship being repossessed by the shipyard. Despite its inauspicious beginning, the No Quarter has proven to be a lucky ship in trials. Sadly for General Galaxy, despite the quantity of sophisticated technologies crammed into the No Quarter's hull and its modern design, the high price tag and custom, difficult-to-maintain systems has deterred several would-be buyers.

A recent design from Tensor Industries, the Typhoon Strike Cruiser was surrounded by secrecy until its quiet unveiling in mid-2193. Equipped with a plethora of high-tech systems it is a showcase of Tensor's technological know-how, though rumors remain that Tensor traded significant resources to an undisclosed Expanse power to properly integrate the fold drive. Indeed, it is not even certain where the requisite Omega dust originated from.
Enigmas aside, the Typhoon is a highly effective warship on paper and capable of fighting almost any heavy cruiser in the galaxy on equal terms. Its ability to carry up to two HLVs or mobile armors only helps. However, unlike the newer Bullhead prototype it lacks any organic hangar space, a continuing point of criticism. The exact number of Typhoons sold by Tensor has not been publically released and so far, Tensor has resisted all inquiries into the matter.
