==Other Faction Variants==
Currently the Devs are running war scripts in Sedina B-8, A Heavy Assault Cruiser is launched from the capital system of each of the three major [[Nations|nations]] ([[Itani]], [[Union of Independent Territories|UIT]], [[Serco]]). They wait ten (10) minutes for defenders to board and man the turrets, then they set course and make way to Sedina B-8 where they stay for thirty minutes before returning to their spawn points and restarting the patrol. But since an update <small>(6/9/05)</small>, they spawn closer to Sedina instead of in the nation capitals.
Their designations are:
* '''[[Glossary#Common_Abbreviation|SMV]] Protaris'''
* '''[[Glossary#Common_Abbreviation|UPK]] Zelor'''
* '''[[Glossary#Common_Abbreviation|IDV]] Sola'''

There are also 3 H.A.C.'s, designated '''SMV Nemesis''', '''SMV Ferronen''' and the '''SMV Shekaris''' that spawn in Sol II every few hours, and come with 5 NPC escorts: 2 SkyCommand Prometheuses armed with Gauss cannons and 3 Serco Vulture Guardians armed with Neutrons. They patrol between Sol II and Geira Rutilus. There are also occassionally Heavy Assault Cruisers spawned for the Border Skirmish mission.
The Heavy Assault Cruiser plays a crucial role in the [[Border_Combat]] in Deneb when participating in the larger more difficult battles and is very difficult to defeat without player assistance or joining in an attack along side a [[TPG_Teradon_Frigate]]
