Comments: An old, but serviceable cruiser, designed during the Third Frontier War and a mainstay of the Zhodani Consular Fleets for over a century. The design has been upgraded several times. Unlike modern cruisers, the ship has a particle accelerator main weapon instead of a meson gun. While less effective against heavily armored vessels, the PA is useful against typical opponents, such as the Imperial Ghalalk class, which have only moderate armor. Secondary armament follows current Consular doctrine, with lots of missiles being supported by laser and energy weapon turrets. The ship has powerful screens and defensive weapons, making up in part for the mediocre armor protection. These vessels are combat units and do not, as a rule, carry combat troops though they can support ground operations.
This ship was created by Daniel Ward and is based on the information presented in Power Projection: Fleet by Dominic Mooney.
