EQUIPMENT

DESCRIPTION
The Strike-class cruiser is a capital ship originally manufactured by the Loronar Corporation for the Galactic Empire. Designed as a multi-role "utility" ship, the Strike was considered a Jakk-of-all-trades, although master of none. Heavily armed for a ship of its size, but lacking in speed and requiring an almost comically large crew, it was nevertheless widely produced, and saw good service on both sides of the Galactic Civil War.

The Strike-class cruiser is 450 meters in length, has an optimum crew of 2,100, and can carry up to 1,000 passengers and 9,000 tons of cargo. Its armament is indeed impressive, consisting of 10 dual medium turbolasers, 20 light turbolasers, 10 medium ion turrets, 10 tractor beams a torpedo launcher. The type can carry up to 20 starfighters in its hangar bay, along with 5 shuttles or other support craft. The type is equipped with a class 2 hyperdrive, although it is hobbled by an abysmal sublight speed of just 20 MGLT.

Strike-class cruisers, though once a significant portion of Imperial-era sector fleets, are rare in the present day, owing to their inefficient design and consequent high operating costs. Some sector and system governments use them in the absence of anything better, but their most common modern habitat is a ship-breaker's yard.

LEGALITY
Restricted. Strike-class cruisers are classified as capital ships under Galactic law, and possess heavy weapons. As such, civilian owners will require extra licensing to operate one legally, and will receive increased scrutiny by authorities.

INTENT
To add a ship from Legends canon to our site's fanon.

RESTRICTIONS
Strike-class cruisers are large capital ships with heavy weapons, and such vessels cannot be owned or operated by individual characters. They may be acquired as faction assets, however.
