:
- A sacrifice in armour composition and production quantities allows for heightened firepower and agility, coupled with a uniquely tailored weapon loadout.
:
- It is unable to withstand the full force of an assault, and is thus better suited for rearguard and patrol duties, or as spearheads in Rapid Dominance doctrines.

The Exonerator-Class was designed as a downscale-concept for
Serpentan's upcoming advanced weapons project, taking inspiration from the Ardent-Class and Gladiator-Class of starships from the old Imperial Navy. Originally commissioned for Saera Willamina Savan, the class was shifted into limited production during the prototype design phase. It stands as one of the few small-scale capital starships to field full Assault Concussion Missile launchers. Data and subsystem telemetry gleaned from their voyages will be processed by the Imperial Advanced Weapons Research Division and forwarded to Serpentan Blackyards for in-depth analysis.
