Imperial Cruiser

The Imperial Cruisers are warships that make up the armada of Emperor Tachyon's Empire. The fleet consists of thousands of ships containing a squadron of Drophyds. Each ship is equipped with three laser blasters in front of them and the ability to bombard planets in Polaris by firing large flaming bombs from high above.

Fastoon
These ships were used in Tachyon's siege of Fastoon. They all gathered above the planet and bombarded the surface, leaving it in ruin.

Kerwan
Tachyon travels in a cruiser on Kerwan during his assault of Metropolis and search for Ratchet, the last Lombax. Ratchet flees from Tachyon's forces on the Grindrails and dodges the lasers fired by the ship as it closes in on him. Eventually the rails end at a platform where Tachyon's Drophyds corner the two heroes. The cruiser then lands and Tachyon reveals himself to Ratchet and Clank, emerging from the cruiser in his walking throne. Ratchet then manages to knock Tachyon's throne over and escapes in the cruiser, which is set to autopilot and flys toward Polaris. Ratchet is then knocked out with cryosleep and Clank chuckles because cryosleep doesn't work on robots, before he is knocked out by an automatic boxing glove in the steering wheel. The cruiser then crashes on Cobalia and Ratchet and Clank leave the wrecked ship to find a way back to Kerwan.

Final battle
Tachyon is later in another cruiser on Fastoon where he confronts Ratchet, Clank, Talwyn, Cronk, and Zephyr. He tells Ratchet that he will give him answers to his past in the Court of Azimuth. He then laughs maniaclly, but is interuppted as the cruiser attempts to fly away and bumps into a cliff and building a few times, shouting "Son of a!..." in anger, before finally leaving. After Ratchet defeats Tachyon, the army is dispatched and the cruisers are all destroyed.
