STRENGTHS

• Heavy Hitter: The Cimrab II has a large and diverse array of weaponry, making it capable of dishing out great amounts of damage to almost every type of opponent imaginable.
• Bulwark: Unlike the original Cimrab, the Cimrab II returns to its mon calamari design roots by making great use of multi-layer shielding and exceptionally reinforced hull frame, making it quite capable of absorbing great amounts of damage.

WEAKNESSES

• Fewer Small Craft: The Cimrab II emphasizes having more weapons than hangars compared to its average contemporary, leading to it carrying fewer starfighters and small craft than its average peer.
• Low Performance Craft: Most of the Cimrab II's energy is dedicated to its multilayered shielding, meaning less power is available for its engines.

DESCRIPTION
The Cimrab II-class Line Cruiser is a redesign of the original Cimrab to meet a more conservative tender for the Directorate for a heavy line cruiser. In many ways, it harkens back to a more traditional mon calamari, using multiple separate shielding systems to create extensive layers of shieldings that most enemies have to slowly peel back, all while the ship's crews have the opportunity to repair the shields already pierced through. Unlike the original Cimrab, the Cimrab II decentralizes much of the firepower, using many smaller emplacements with different technological basis, giving the ship's commander a wide variety of exotic options in dealing with different types of threats, from autocannons that can launch missiles and ion cannon flak bursts to superheating laser beams and to highly corrosive plasma torpedoes. Heavily armed and well defended, Cimrab IIs excel at slugging matches in pitched battles, though their low speed and small fighter complement make them less suited for sustained independent operations.
