Basing their design on the Federation Navy's much-vaunted Megathron, the Guardian Angels' engineers set out to create a battleship that would instill fear in anyone fool enough to square off against the Cartel or its Serpentis protectorate. Based on the reputation this ship has engendered, they seem to have succeeded admirably.

Summary

The Vindicator is the ultimate Megathron and the be-all end-all of brawling battleships. It features some of the highest DPS of any subcapital ship, bested only by a fully-ramped Leshak or a Marauder, and its Serpentis Web bonus allow it to all but completely immobilize its targets to ensure that damage never misses. It still features the solid armor and hull of the Megathron, but can alternatively be shield-tanked for certain applications (particularly for use in some incursion communities). This unmatched power comes at a price: the Vindicator is one of the most expensive battleships on the market. However, the Vindicator is an extremely valuable and useful ship for multiple forms of PvP, and high-end PvE (Incursions in particular).

In addition to its already terrifying damage, the Vindicator has another potential use. While this use is rarely realized outside of wormhole space combat, a Vindicator's webs (especially if those webs are Abyssal rolled) can be used to slow a target to the point that it can be accurately hit by Dreadnoughts fielding anti-capital weapons.
