It wasn't wildly successful. At this point the NSL has suspended further construction of this class, while they turn their attentions to a different kind of ship to take its place. The naming convention for this class is rather...sparse. It follows the old Earth U-boat/submarine convention, though some crews have taken to giving their vessel unofficial names.

Good thrust, a reasonable weapons load, and screens make the Rii'akha a popular assignment in the Imperial Navy. Imperial fleet ships reflect the K'rathri's hunter spirit - they are fast mounts with sharp claws and fangs. Ships are designed with cinematic movement in mind.

Systems 3 x FCS 1 x ADFC 3 x PDS 1 x Class-2 beam (FP,F,FS) 1 x Pulse Torpedo (FP,F,FS) 2 x Class-1 beam (All) Notes: The Fearless is the mainstay light cruiser of the NIR. It is used extensively in system patrol, convoy escort, and anti-piracy roles, and is the most well-known and ubiquitous ship in the NIR fleet. It's success has led to the introduction of fleet escort and topedo boat variants, although the primary configuration is by far the most common.

MD: 5 Armr: 0 Damg: 18; 5/5/4/4 Crew: 4 Sens: Std Systems 1 x Screen 2 x FCS 1 x ADFC 3 x PDS 2 x Salvo Missile Rack (AP,FP,F) 1 x Class-2 beam (AP,FP,F) 2 x Class-1 beam (All) Notes: In tandem with the design of the Napoli Class BDN it was decided an escort cruiser capable of escort duties was needed. The design criteria was a ship that could defend from fighters and missiles when escorting capital ships but still had enough punch to be affective when escorting merchant ships. One oddity is the SMRs both fire down the port side, this gives greater coverage because a simple roll covers what was the starboard side.

Notes:
After studying the ESU's highly effective 'defense close-support' variant of
the BEIJING/B CEs, the NAC decided to pull some of the currently under
construction FURIOUS CEs and redesign them for a more specialized
anti-fighter/missile role. Thus was born the FURIOUS II, which could now
either offer anti-fighter/missile protection to two seperate ships, or
concentrated withering protective fire for one ship. By losing the pulse
torpedo, it lacked the extra punch the original FURIOUS class had, but this
was not a large detriment as the restricted arc of the pulse torpedo (and the
Class-3 battery) did not always allow it to come into play in ship-to-ship
combat actions. As it is, the Class-3 battery doesn't always come into play,
either. Some BuShip Designers have suggested replacing the Class-3 battery
with either 4 more PDS arrays, or a couple of offset Class-2 batteries, or a
combination of both. So far only two FURIOUS IIs currently under construction
have been slated to drop their Class-3 batteries in lieu of another suite of
PDS'.

Notes:
The Maccabee is the result of a revitalized NI/Japanese design group. The
effort started as a complete redesign of the Sharon after nearly 50 years,
but rapidly evolved with the rising hostilities of the Intersentient War
into a heavier, more capable warship program. Frist launched in 2190, the
Mac is in heavy production to supplement main fleet elements and support
defense of the Core Systems. It sports modular "wingmount" weapon pods, much
like the smaller Sharrett, enabling pairs of Class 2 beams to be replaced
by 2-arc P-Torps or re-aligned to 2-arc class 3's. Reconfiguring time in
spacedock time is similar to Sharretts.
Editor's Note: Ship design has 1 mass unused.

Notes:
With the FURIOUS CE being an all-around class that did not quite cutting the
job that it was designed for, BuShips came up with a specific ship-combat
cruiser using the CE hull: the SENECA-Class medium cruiser. This cruiser
dropped all pretense at being an escort cruiser by losing the ADFC, and to
expand it's combat capabilities, the Class-3 battery arc was expanded to
become a 3-arc battery. While not as fast at the VANDENBURG CAs, this new
design has proven itself capable in combat situations.

Notes:
To enhance their missile potential the FSE developed a small medium-sized ship
which carries several of the ATLAS-12 missiles, the NEMPHOS class light
cruiser. They are weak-hulled ships, and so are loathe to enter into a beam
battery engagement. To offset this, the developers added armour plating to the
hull to boost its staying power in case any enemy force got close enough for a
few pot-shots before the CLG could scurry away.

Battle Groups, although a couple have found their way into Cruiser Task
Forces. Until recently they had seen little combat action, but so far have
proved themselves capable vessels.

the Gorshkov, rather than one standard refit, to keep the enemy guessing about
which version they faced.
The 'T' variation removes both of the SMRs and replaces them with a Pulse
Torpedo launcher (copied from the NAC design) and a pair of PDS. This
looses some of the punch of the original version but reduces reliance on
expendables and increases protection from fighters. However, the P-Torp is not
an off-the-shelf weapon for the ESU.

Notes:
Never happy with the performance of the SMRs on the original Gorshkov, the
ESU had begun to relegate them to the reserve fleet. However, with the
start of the Xeno War, the ESU has begun to modify them and refit them and to
raise them to active duty. It was decided to provide a number of refits to
the Gorshkov, rather than one standard refit, to keep the enemy guessing about
which version they faced.
The 'T2' variation removes both of the SMRs and replaces them with a pair of
single arc Pulse Torpedo launchers (copied from the NAC design). This
provides almost as much punch as the SMRs, but without the limitation of
expendables. However, the P-Torps arc of fire is limited and the P-Torps are
not an off-the-shelf weapon for the ESU.

The 'V' variation is the most radical of the changes. It removes both of the

Fighter Bay, two additional Class-2 beams, 2 additional PDS, and an ADFC.

ship decided that production cost was too high for its capabilities. The ESU
only took delivery of the 4 prototypes, as mandated by the contract. The ESU
declaired the contract complete. The ESU discovered the folly of this decision
when the Dragon Spirit forces stole 2 of the 4 prototypes in their bid for
independence. The ESU has now moved the 2 remaining prototypes to guard Nova
Moskva. However, the Dragon Spirit Worlds contracted for exclusive rights to
market the Leng (with a minimum purchase per year clause). The ESU has
swallowed its pride and ordered 10 Wave Cruisers under a new contract through
the Dragon Spirit Worlds. And each of the major powers have ordered at least one
"evaluation copy" with additional sales expected.

Notes:
Cygnus developed this ship for the ESU under the same contract
under which the Leng Wave Cruiser was developed. Unlike the Leng, the
Ubboth was deemed a failure by Everyone. To fit the massive Nova Cannon,
CE had to build a light frame around the main weapon. Because the Cannon
required all the power the ship could generate, armor replaced the
screens found on the Leng. However, even with the armor, the light frame
proved too fragile in combat to make the ship cost effective. The ESU
purchased the required 4 prototypes, but have placed no further orders.
CE does not even show this failed prototype in its catalog.

Notes:
The cruiser-version of the CHAMPION DDG. While the ALBION-VANDENBURG/Ms
weren't intended for stand-up fights, and usually had to have support ships
with them to draw off the heat so they could deliver their 'presents', they
retained most of the defensive protection of the VANDENBURG cruisers, so had
a better chance of getting in closer to the enemy before taking unacceptable
damage. The only defensive sacrifice that was made was in the overall drive
rating in order to fit in the SML and magazine, but this puts it on par
speedwise with the VANDENBURG/T class ships as well as most other cruisers of
this size. Typically the magazine is loaded with Extended-Range Salvoes, just
to keep the opposition honest.

Notes:
Cygnus provided this design to be as flexible as possible. It
carries Superior grade sensors to carry out its primary function of surveying
star systems. It carries 5, mass 1, modular units that are exchanged for other
modules depending on the mission. These science modules can hold a variety of
scientific sensors, labs, vehicles, and other equipment. Each bay is fully
powered and has an interior access hatch. Occasionally, when the mission
called for it, a weapons module replaced one or more of the science modules.
The ship is partially streamlined to facilitate planetary landings. For
protection it carries a level-1 screen. It also carries 2 class-1 beam weapons
that can double as anti-fighter/anti-missile batteries. Its main armament is a
class-2 beam with 360° arc of fire.
Ships are named for famous science-fiction authors such as: Niven, McCaffery,
Lovecraft, Anderson, Clark, Derleth, Laumer, Weber, etc.

An interesting variation of the Gr'kaa, this heavy attack cruiser mounts a
pair of Grakhtaah energy torpedo launchers along with significant point
defense.
Imperial fleet ships reflect the K'rathri's hunter spirit - they are fast
mounts with sharp claws and fangs. Ships are designed with cinematic movement
in mind.

Notes:
The Wespi is a design born of the need to provide durable, long-term ortillery
support for protracted planetary engagements. Assigning ortillery to fleet
cruisers is impractical, taking away from their ability to function in their
assigned capacities. To function for long periods of time, however, requires
more than a few ortillery systems mounted on a firing platform and so the
Wespi was conceived.
The concept was for a massive platform, fitted with a number of batteries as
well as defensive weaponry and countermeasures to allow it to stand off when
threatened. Military minds were reluctant to dedicate such a massive hull to
ortillery batteries and defensive systems alone, so it was decided to allow
the vessel to function as a support vessel for troops on the ground as well.
To this end, several interface boat hangars were added to early designs and worked
into the final product, allowing the Wespi to resupply and even extract and
medivac ground-based forces.
All in all, the Wespi is an expensive but useful vessel which will likely see
action in limited numbers.

The developement of a private firm, daring to modernize the NSL arsenal. The
developements made with this Battleship turned away from the NSLs relliance on
beam weapons and coming up with a design which create a missile platform of
particular lethality. Critics site the reliance on ammunition as a drawback,
but proponents counter this by pointing out that fleet ships such as this are
seldom without tenders. Those who have seen it, comment on the wicked
appearance of the vessel - its bow section a wall of recessed missile ports
ready to disgorge hellfire over anyone foolish enough to engage.

Notes:
The ADMIRAL KOSOV class battlecruiser-carrier was a side project of Admiral
Kosov, who was a major proponent of space fighter superiority. However, his
design to redo the battlecruisers to become mini-light carriers did more harm
than good to the space fighter cause in the Voyenno-Kosmicheskiy Flot. While
it retained the defensive capabilities of the MANCHURIA class BC, stripping
out all weapons (save a lone Class-1) in order to fit in two hangar bays met
with great reluctance on the part of the crews, and gave it absolutely no
punch power beyond its fighters. Of the three that were built, one was
destroyed in a skirmish between the NAC and the Phalons, and one was 'retired'
to be carrier academy training vessel (albeit an expensive one). The ADMIRAL
KOSOV itself (VKK-2714A) still serves the ESU fleet, but usually in backwater
systems where it can't get into much trouble. Admiral Kosov himself generally
commands the helm. Where he can't make too much trouble for the ESU
Admirality.

Notes:
Looking for an upgrade or replacement for the BEIJING/BE close-in defense
cruiser, the KRESTA class escort battlecruiser was created as another design
option for the ESU Navy. With a suite of 6 PDS' and 2 Area Defence Fire
Controls, the KRESTA could easily cover any one ship from most
anti-fighter/missile attacks, or spread it's defensive umbrella to cover two
different ships. It proved to be one of the more versatile escort ships in the
ESU fleet. And it carries sufficient mid-range armament to hold its own in
combat. Its main drawback is the pricetag.

Notes:
The BLACK PRINCE class battlecruiser (BC/P) is a heavy fire-support variant of
the MAJESTIC class battlecruiser. Built in small numbers since 2168, its role
is to support a fleet with heavy long-range firepower. Though its thrust is
standard, it has a higher rotational ability than many ships of its size,
allowing it to bring its limited-arc weapons to bear more easily. In the hands
of a good captain, the BLACK PRINCE has proven to be a valuable asset in
large-scale fleet battles and more production is planned.

considering calling this vessel an armoured cruiser and creating a newer,

Notes:
After studying the ESU's highly effective 'defense close-support' variant of
the BEIJING/B CEs, the NAC decided to pull some of the currently under
construction FURIOUS CEs and redesign them for a more specialized
anti-fighter/missile role. Thus was born the FURIOUS II, which could now
either offer anti-fighter/missile protection to two seperate ships, or
concentrated withering protective fire for one ship. By losing the pulse
torpedo, it lacked the extra punch the original FURIOUS class had, but this
was not a large detriment as the restricted arc of the pulse torpedo (and the
Class-3 battery) did not always allow it to come into play in ship-to-ship
combat actions. As it is, the Class-3 battery doesn't always come into play,
either. Some BuShip Designers have suggested replacing the Class-3 battery
with either 4 more PDS arrays, or a couple of offset Class-2 batteries, or a
combination of both. So far only two FURIOUS IIs currently under construction
have been slated to drop their Class-3 batteries in lieu of another suite of
PDS'.

The Maccabee is the result of a revitalized NI/Japanese design group. The
effort started as a complete redesign of the Sharon after nearly 50 years,
but rapidly evolved with the rising hostilities of the Intersentient War
into a heavier, more capable warship program. Frist launched in 2190, the
Mac is in heavy production to supplement main fleet elements and support
defense of the Core Systems. It sports modular "wingmount" weapon pods, much
like the smaller Sharrett, enabling pairs of Class 2 beams to be replaced
by 2-arc P-Torps or re-aligned to 2-arc class 3's. Reconfiguring time in
spacedock time is similar to Sharretts.

Notes:
With the FURIOUS CE being an all-around class that did not quite cutting the
job that it was designed for, BuShips came up with a specific ship-combat
cruiser using the CE hull: the SENECA-Class medium cruiser. This cruiser
dropped all pretense at being an escort cruiser by losing the ADFC, and to
expand it's combat capabilities, the Class-3 battery arc was expanded to
become a 3-arc battery. While not as fast at the VANDENBURG CAs, this new
design has proven itself capable in combat situations.

Notes:
The Fr'athra is the largest cruiser that is routinely assigned to Destroyer
Squadrons as a 'capital ship' or 'Destroyer Leader'. Fr'athras are the most
numerous cruiser class ship in the Imperial Fleet.
Imperial fleet ships reflect the K'rathri's hunter spirit - they are fast
mounts with sharp claws and fangs. Ships are designed with cinematic movement
in mind.

Notes:
To enhance their missile potential the FSE developed a small medium-sized ship
which carries several of the ATLAS-12 missiles, the NEMPHOS class light
cruiser. They are weak-hulled ships, and so are loathe to enter into a beam
battery engagement. To offset this, the developers added armour plating to the
hull to boost its staying power in case any enemy force got close enough for a
few pot-shots before the CLG could scurry away.

Notes:
The TOSCANA class escort cruiser is one of the more massive escort cruisers
constructed, rivaling the ESU's GORSHKOV heavy cruiser (which actually is a
little light for its class). The TOSCANAs were designed to fill the gap in
area-defense support ships, and most constructed to date have been assigned to
Battle Groups, although a couple have found their way into Cruiser Task
Forces. Until recently they had seen little combat action, but so far have
proved themselves capable vessels.

Notes:
Never happy with the performance of the SMRs on the original Gorshkov, the
ESU had begun to relegate them to the reserve fleet. However, with the
start of the Xeno War, the ESU has begun to modify them and refit them and to
raise them to active duty. It was decided to provide a number of refits to
the Gorshkov, rather than one standard refit, to keep the enemy guessing about
which version they faced.
The 'A' variation removes both of the SMRs and replaces them with armor
and two additional PDS. This variant reduces the reliance on expendables and
provides better overall protection.

The 'T' variation removes both of the SMRs and replaces them with a Pulse
Torpedo launcher (copied from the NAC design) and a pair of PDS. This
looses some of the punch of the original version but reduces reliance on
expendables and increases protection from fighters. However, the P-Torp is not
an off-the-shelf weapon for the ESU.

The 'T2' variation removes both of the SMRs and replaces them with a pair of
single arc Pulse Torpedo launchers (copied from the NAC design). This
provides almost as much punch as the SMRs, but without the limitation of
expendables. However, the P-Torps arc of fire is limited and the P-Torps are
not an off-the-shelf weapon for the ESU.

only took delivery of the 4 prototypes, as mandated by the contract. The ESU
declaired the contract complete. The ESU discovered the folly of this decision
when the Dragon Spirit forces stole 2 of the 4 prototypes in their bid for
independence. The ESU has now moved the 2 remaining prototypes to guard Nova
Moskva. However, the Dragon Spirit Worlds contracted for exclusive rights to
market the Leng (with a minimum purchase per year clause). The ESU has
swallowed its pride and ordered 10 Wave Cruisers under a new contract through
the Dragon Spirit Worlds. And each of the major powers have ordered at least one
"evaluation copy" with additional sales expected.

Notes:
Cygnus developed this ship for the ESU under the same contract
under which the Leng Wave Cruiser was developed. Unlike the Leng, the
Ubboth was deemed a failure by Everyone. To fit the massive Nova Cannon,
CE had to build a light frame around the main weapon. Because the Cannon
required all the power the ship could generate, armor replaced the
screens found on the Leng. However, even with the armor, the light frame
proved too fragile in combat to make the ship cost effective. The ESU
purchased the required 4 prototypes, but have placed no further orders.
CE does not even show this failed prototype in its catalog.

Part of the Red Banner Fleet. Unlike many nations the Martians regard cruisers
as second class ships unable to stand in the line of battle and prefer to use
them as patrol ships. However on many occasions they have sailed with the battle
fleet and given good account of themselves.

Notes:
The cruiser-version of the CHAMPION DDG. While the ALBION-VANDENBURG/Ms
weren't intended for stand-up fights, and usually had to have support ships
with them to draw off the heat so they could deliver their 'presents', they
retained most of the defensive protection of the VANDENBURG cruisers, so had
a better chance of getting in closer to the enemy before taking unacceptable
damage. The only defensive sacrifice that was made was in the overall drive
rating in order to fit in the SML and magazine, but this puts it on par
speedwise with the VANDENBURG/T class ships as well as most other cruisers of
this size. Typically the magazine is loaded with Extended-Range Salvoes, just
to keep the opposition honest.

star systems. It carries 5, mass 1, modular units that are exchanged for other
modules depending on the mission. These science modules can hold a variety of
scientific sensors, labs, vehicles, and other equipment. Each bay is fully
powered and has an interior access hatch. Occasionally, when the mission
called for it, a weapons module replaced one or more of the science modules.
The ship is partially streamlined to facilitate planetary landings. For
protection it carries a level-1 screen. It also carries 2 class-1 beam weapons
that can double as anti-fighter/anti-missile batteries. Its main armament is a
class-2 beam with 360° arc of fire.
Ships are named for famous science-fiction authors such as: Niven, McCaffery,

Assigning ortillery to fleet cruisers is impractical, taking away from their ability to function in their assigned capacities. To function for long periods of time, however, requires more than a few ortillery systems mounted on a firing platform and so the Wespi was conceived. The concept was for a massive platform, fitted with a number of batteries as well as defensive weaponry and countermeasures to allow it to stand off when threatened. Military minds were reluctant to dedicate such a massive hull to ortillery batteries and defensive systems alone, so it was decided to allow the vessel to function as a support vessel for troops on the ground as well. To this end, several interface boat hangars were added to early designs and worked into the final product, allowing the Wespi to resupply and even extract and medivac ground-based forces. All in all, the Wespi is an expensive but useful vessel which will likely see action in limited numbers.

Those who have seen it, comment on the wicked appearance of the vessel - its bow section a wall of recessed missile ports ready to disgorge hellfire over anyone foolish enough to engage.

However, his design to redo the battlecruisers to become mini-light carriers did more harm than good to the space fighter cause in the Voyenno-Kosmicheskiy Flot. While it retained the defensive capabilities of the MANCHURIA class BC, stripping out all weapons (save a lone Class-1) in order to fit in two hangar bays met with great reluctance on the part of the crews, and gave it absolutely no punch power beyond its fighters. Of the three that were built, one was destroyed in a skirmish between the NAC and the Phalons, and one was 'retired' to be carrier academy training vessel (albeit an expensive one). The ADMIRAL KOSOV itself (VKK-2714A) still serves the ESU fleet, but usually in backwater systems where it can't get into much trouble. Admiral Kosov himself generally commands the helm.

With a suite of 6 PDS' and 2 Area Defence Fire Controls, the KRESTA could easily cover any one ship from most anti-fighter/missile attacks, or spread it's defensive umbrella to cover two different ships. It proved to be one of the more versatile escort ships in the ESU fleet. And it carries sufficient mid-range armament to hold its own in combat. Its main drawback is the pricetag.

It has acquitted itself well in combat.

Built in small numbers since 2168, its role is to support a fleet with heavy long-range firepower. Though its thrust is standard, it has a higher rotational ability than many ships of its size, allowing it to bring its limited-arc weapons to bear more easily. In the hands of a good captain, the BLACK PRINCE has proven to be a valuable asset in large-scale fleet battles and more production is planned.
Bridgwater class battlecruiser

Systems 1 x Screen 3 x FCS 3 x PDS 2 x Pulse Torpedo (FP,F,FS) 2 x Class-1 beam (All) 3 x Class-2 beam (All) Notes: The Bridgwater class is a craft designed to support both cruiser squadrons by pouring heavy fire from its pulse torpedo array into other cruisers and supporting heavier, purely beam-armed capital ships. Its smaller than most battlecruisers, and therefore the SWAN (South West Anglian Navy) is considering calling this vessel an armoured cruiser and creating a newer, heavier battlecruiser

Together with the Apokaliosis the Stalin forms the main part of the RBF battle line. The class was nearly named Kalishnikov as Stalin is a very controversial figure in the PRM: hero or villain. His industrialisation of Russia and defeat of Hitler are applauded, but there is the small matter of the murder of many millions in the 1930's. However the more hawkish officers in the fleet one and the class was named after the Georgian Examples of ships in class: Stalin, Lenin, Trotski, Mao Tse Tung, Ho Chi Mihn, Fidel Castro, Arthur Scargil

The Weishaupt was able to cripple, and thus capture, a KV ship, an invaluable asset to New Bavaria. Both the ship and its crew are currently undergoing dissection.
