Comments: The Ghalalk class armored cruiser is a basic fleet work horse, undertaking a wide variety of duties in peace-time, and supporting the battle fleets in war.
    The two hundred marines carried aboard the Ghalalk constitute a reinforced company, trained in protected forces operations, and capable of orbital assaults if called for.

This ship appears in Supplement 9: Fighting Ships of the Imperium.
