Continuing the games theme of ships being able to be used for multiple things, this ship can carry lots of troops, it can carry alot of cargo, and it can help to re-build a fleet.
The ship can also launch fighters to attack, or use its tractor beam to hold a vessel during an attack, or just use its numerous omnidirectional weapons to do the job.
The vessel will probably be a high end ship and could be fairy numerous in the game as the article says "The KDF is assigning its most decorated captains to Vo'Quv ships, and many admirals and generals have claimed them as flagships."2
