The Pulsar Battle Cruiser serves as the flagship of the Hapes Consortium and is the culmination of centuries of Hapan research and development in capital ship innovation funnelled into one all-encompassing design. Intended foremost to be a heavy weapons platform acting as a bulwark to the smaller Hapan ships in the fleet, its multitude of weapon emplacements, not including tractor beams, as well as its significant shields and armouring, pose in unison a considerable challenge to any large warships it may come across.

The turbolaser batteries are strategically spaced neatly down both its lateral wings so that a single well-placed explosion from a proton torpedo or space bomb would not be able to take out more than one emplacement at a time. Their position along the lateral wings also makes the bow of the ship the focus of the Pulsar's firepower, and Hapan weapon officers usually synchronize the first salvo of turbolaser fire by spacing out the shots across a full second to give it the appearance of two intimidating wing-like sheets of menacing green energy reaching out to smother its opposition – this firing technique is a tribute to Hapes' phoenix bird emblem. Rotary defensive heavy lasers and ion batteries line the topside and underbelly of the Pulsar's long neck, protecting the ship against fighters and missiles from all angles and extending its capability to disable ships. A healthy complement of proton torpedo launchers and tractor beams top off the Pulsar's imposing arsenal of weapons.

With versatility and long operational reach in mind, the Pulsar Battle Cruiser is equipped with large bays and a powerful hyperdrive system. Its launch bays typically hold a swarming mass of Miy'Til-class space superiority fighters and Hetrinar Assault Bombers, which can be sent out to engage the opposition from a distance or form a tight defensive screen around the ship. In addition, the Olanji Corporation-developed Frond-class hyperdrive system gives the Pulsar a hyperdrive rating of 2, making it an atypically fast capital ship despite its high offensive and defensive ratings that would typically come at the cost of crippling a ship's speed. This feature allows the Pulsar Battle Cruiser to deploy anywhere across the Hapes Cluster that it defends in a matter of short hours, making it able to arrive in time to exert its tremendous military influence in any star system.

Despite its aggressive exterior, the interior of the ship is luxurious and exudes timeless elegance. All aspects of the ship are modelled after the traditional sleek and eye-pleasing designs of Hapan architecture, maximizing the balance between utility and aesthetics. It is replete with artwork, such as holo-paintings, sculptures, and small monuments, beautiful displays of both plant life and moving water in meticulously tended gardens, supplemented by many of such amenities that could be found back home on Hapan worlds. There is enough comfort on the ship that, when also considering the prestige of being stationed on it, most crew members would be quite content in spending the rest of their careers aboard this well-equipped and formidable vessel.

Launched 28 years after the end of the Hapan Civil War, it is as much a symbol of unity to the Hapan people as it is a system-dominating warship. The production of the first Pulsar Battle Cruiser rallied the Hapan people behind a powerful visible icon and sealed away the remaining sentiments of betrayal and anger that lingered after the Civil War. Many of the pieces of art on the ship were chosen to depict moments of strife and uncertainty in the society’s history, displayed in a way to promote national pride and to offer encouragement of a promising future through great works. This ship now represents the indomitable united willpower of the Hapan nation and boosts morale in any system that it cruises through.
