A heavily armed and armoured command basestar. The Cratus represents a significant expenditure by Cylon Command for a singular ship that eschews the typical Cylon doctrine of tactical diversity. On the battlefield, this powerful basestar acts more similar to the battlestars of Colonial fleet, deploying squadrons, missile salvos, and heavy artillery to batter its opponents into submission.

== Gameplay ==
The '''Cratus''' was introduced to the game [[Battlestar Galactica Deadlock]] through the first DLC (Downloadable content) of season two titled "[[Battlestar Galactica Deadlock: Resurrection|Resurrection]]" This expansion adds three new ships and the revamped Jupiter class which is featured heavily in the 2004 "[[Battlestar Galactica (TRS)|reimagined]]" television series. As such, the Cratus is accessible through campagin, skirmish, multiplayer and [[Battlestar Galactica Deadlock: Anabasis|Operation Anabasis]].

* '''Rapid Munitions''' - Another ability that is not an explicitly documented feature, but is worth noting. The Cratus has a 1 turn reload time; this means it can fire it's munitions every turn, allowing for overwhelming quantities of munitions to deployed against it's opponent in very short order. Whilst this is a powerful ability it should be used with discretion, the Cratus does not have limitless munitions and can find itself running dry in a mere 4-5 turns should it attempt to keep up constant munition deployment.
