Description:
The 3rd 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 support ships to go toe to toe with larger Navy's and fleets.
Sporting an Impressive eighty guns she is the choice ship of Captains and Majors. The 3rd Rate is primarily used to support larger fleet vessels or as the bulk of the main force. She is versatile and battle-worthy.
The Drawback of her designs were fewer. With a more balanced compliment of arms and some speed, she was cheaper to build and maintain, thus giving her a balanced advantage in battle.
