The ''Hoplite''-class missile cruiser is one of the primary long-range combatants of [[The Initiative]]. A variant on the [[Samurai-class Cruiser|''Samurai''-class Cruiser]], the ''Hoplite'' replaces the regular coilgun turrets with missile racks, capable of swiveling to give the rocket a better trajectory. While the ''Hoplite'' is capable of operating independently from a fleet, it is able to make use of computers distributed throughout the fleet for quicker firing solutions, making it a dangerous foe when backed up with escorts.
