The Cybran T2 Cruiser, nicknamed the Siren Class, is a Cybran unit. This is a cruiser, direct fire unit, anti-air unit, tactical missile defense unit and air support unit.

The Siren is a moderately powerful naval unit with the ability to effectively bombard enemy units on the shore using its Proton Cannon and good radar range. It is unique in this sense, as all other faction's T2 Cruisers lack a powerful main weapon; the Siren's weapon is equal to that of it's destroyer counterpart. Its powerful Nanodart Launcher allows it to serve as powerful sea-based AA. The Siren Class is particularly susceptible to submarine attack due to it's lack of torpedo launchers and anti-torpedoes, but none of the cruisers have them so it's design is not flawed.

Unlike other factions' cruisers, the Siren Class sports a landing pad where airborne units can land to be repaired and refueled. This ability makes the Siren useful as a mobile staging point. Including a fleet containing at least one Siren under the patrol route of gunships or other patrolling aircraft will allow them to be repaired and refueled, significantly increasing their survivability.

Additionally, the Nanodart Launcher can be reconfigured to attack ground targets. Combined with its powerful Proton Cannon, this makes the Siren Class the only cruiser capable of seriously threatening enemy ships in direct combat. However, its low HP still makes it no match for a destroyer.
