Usage examples of "battlecruisers".

Minutes trickled past while the intruder continued to move away from them, and then, at last, six superdreadnoughts and six battlecruisers turned to pursue.

The guardian starships halted, then the superdreadnoughts came to a new heading, bound for the invaders' entry warp point at their maximum speed while the battlecruisers waited.

The com officers voice was flat, and Braun's jaw tightened as fresh light codes flashed beside the red-ringed dots of the unknown battlecruisers.

Unlikely as it might be that the newcomers' intentions were pacific, there was no way he could know they weren't until and unless those battlecruisers fired.

Braun stared into his display, watching the battlecruisers as Argive swung directly away from them.

That many battlecruisers should have torn Argive to bits - not that he intended to complain!

The data flashed, and he flinched as he saw the battlecruisers appear from cloak.

The commodore looked down into his plot, and his eyes flicked to the six battlecruisers still clinging to his heels.

Presently the little colored dots that represented three battleships, seven battlecruisers, four light carriers, three heavy cruisers, two light cruisers and three destroyers began to curve around into courses that would take them to the warp point leading to Erebor and thence to Golan.

The battleships and battlecruisers had been supporting the fighters with missile fire, not very effective at this range.

But battlecruisers followed, one after another with nightmarish repetition, and they were armed with missiles - full magazines of missiles.

His task force was now up to seventeen battleships and battlecruisers, ten light carriers, and eighteen cruisers and destroyers.

Once again, the carriers with their escorting battlecruisers and lighter units were positioned to cover the warp point with their fighters, which now numbered one hundred and forty-nine - not full complements for his ten Shokaku-class light carriers, but still better than what he'd had in Golan.

But what sickened him most was the fact that the invaders refused to be sucked into pursuing his carriers and battlecruisers.
