Description

A split bow opens into a broad flight deck capable of launching several craft simultaneously. Dual light turbolasers and medium laser cannons engage warships and strike craft, while ten assault concussion-missile launchers deliver concentrated attacks against ships, stations, and surface targets. The vessel carries two starfighter squadrons, landing craft, shuttles, walkers, and two battalions of troops. Two years of stores permit independent patrols, blockade duty, orbital fire support, and command of small task groups far from a permanent base.
