The Kronos is the Gallente Marauder-class battleship. The Kronos is a behemoth of a ship that can roll over almost any challenger with easy due to its monstrous tank, mixed flight of heavy and medium drones, bonus to web effectiveness, and four double-damage blaster.

However, it does have a few glaring weaknesses. First, it's sensor strength is very weak - a dedicated (i.e. unharassed) ECM pilot can lock the Kronos down almost indefinitely. Second, its scan resolution is very low - a single dampener can keep a Kronos out of the fight for a good deal of time whilst Marauder is trying to lock. Third, it's really, really slow. Thus, without support, a Kronos can be nickle-and-dimed while being pointed, jammed, and kited by smaller vessels.
The Marauder class in general is designed for PvE use, and has several built-in weaknesses designed to prevent them from being overpowered in PvP. It has low sensor strength, meaning it is vulnerable to ECM. It also has low scan resolution (even by battleship standards), meaning it will take a great deal of time to lock small targets. Thus, without support, a Kronos can be nickle-and-dimed while being pointed, jammed, and kited by smaller vessels. For a similar vessel more slanted to PvP performance, try the [[Vindicator]].
 
As with all Marauders, it has several utility high slots, which are intended to be fit with tractors and salvagers to make an all-in-one PvE ship.
