Comments: The Shtiaba-class light cruiser is a newer design, assigned to high jump squadrons as an escort vessel. It's lack of a spinal mount weapon relegates this class to defending ships of the line from smaller craft attacks..

Created with High Guard Shipyard v1.58 for my Fifth Frontier War campaign.
