The '''Cyclops''' was the first siege [[:Category:Dreadnought|Dreadnought]] to be added into the game. It has decent [[Shields]] and 6 [[Turrets|Medium Railguns]] for shredding [[Hull]], backed up by its Lasers to bring down enemy Shields. There is a [[Vanguard Coalition]] logo at the back of the entrance room. | The '''Cyclops''' was the first siege [[:Category:Dreadnought|Dreadnought]] to be added into the game.

When you first enter the interior using a teleporter on the back, you are greeted with a room that has 4 chairs and computers. There is also a large hologram of a planet in the middle of the room. There are two small hallways to the bridge. The seat somewhat resembles that of the old [[Prototype X-2]], but blue. | When you first enter the interior using a teleporter on the back, you are greeted with a room that has 4 chairs and computers.
