Comments: The Vrapkenchkinj class "Large Light Cruiser" is an outstanding example of a design philosophy the emphasizes striking power over staying power. It's meson gun spinal mount packs a tremendous punch, but the ship has only minimal armor and very little in the way of secondary armament. Analysts predict that such a vessel could be successful against large fleet units during the initial stages of an engagement, but could hardly survive a prolonged battle against a balanced force.
This ship was created by Daniel Ward and is based on the information presented in Power Projection: Fleets by Dominic Mooney.
