The Cataphract is an experimental hovertank, equipped with a powerful laser and significant armor. Like a floating Starlight, its main gun deals 2150 damage with 9s reload, and costs 1k energy per shot.

Although it’s not very fast, the ability to hover makes it useful for attacking from the sea.

While not as strong as other experimental units, Cataphracts can reliably defeat Cruisers with their superior range, power, and immunity to depth charges.

Their secondary anti-sub weapon (400 range) lets them shoot back at subs without getting hit in turn.
