[edit] Overview

The Cyborg have two cube ships, and this is their carrier version. It is basically a gutted Annihilation Class Battleship that had some devices and weapons ripped out to have air-wing bays put in their place. This ship is not as resilient to damage as its battleship counterpart, but is effective at bringing a good amount of expendible firepower to bear on the enemy.

Unfortunately your fighters are crap (not even close to cost effective), and the Biocide is not suited for any serious combat (at all). The only reason to send it into battle would be Gun Zero infested areas, where it fares better than the Annihilation Class Battleship.

So normally you will have few of these, laying mines in your hinterland, doing alchemy and using its excellent scanners to keep surprises to a minimum.
