Description:
The 2cnd Rate Colonial Cruiser was designed an Manufactured by the FCSC after the sacking of shipyards around Annaj. With a budding government, and small Colonies scattered, the Free Colonies needed a big ship to go toe to toe with larger Navy's and fleets.
Sporting an Impressive ninetey guns she is the choice ship of higher ranking Admirals and Officers. The 2cn Rate is primarily used when 1st Rates are not available or fleet mainetnance needs to be rduced. Scaled down they still pack a formidable punch when added to ones forces.
The Drawback of her design were that she was slow, and hard to manuever fast. To balance this Officers needed to place her carefully in the line to ensure maximum success.
