Who Can Use This: The Corporate Alliance
Description: A sign of Rendili Stardrive's goodwill to its new associates within the refounded Corporate Alliance, the Muren Class Cruiser, also dubbed the Corporate Alliance Cruiser, is designed to be one of the most powerful and intimidating warships as the result of its carefully aligned armaments. Intended to become the staple of the Corporate Alliance's defenses of their holdings as part of Rendili's attempt to become friendly with previously unassociated companies, the Muren class was developed with the intention of being a ship class capable of warding off pirate attacks and driving off raiding forces with its heavy broadside and long range turbolaser fire.
In addition to that, it maintains a much more comfortable speed for cruisers due to its smaller size than some heavier warships, though it comes greatly at the cost of sufficient hull plating. The Muren Class also lacks a sufficient hanger for fighter support, leaving it open to swarm tactics if alone. In many ways the lighter defenses of its hull and shielding make it weaker in direct engagements compared to the more densely armored Dreadnought Heavy Cruiser, though its greater speed, light fighter support, and larger weapon banks give it a distinct advantage.
Out and about as the bane of mercenaries and pirates after the Corporate Alliance's transports and to defend themselves from hostile actions, the Corporate Alliance Cruiser serves as a terror to those who cross the renewed cluster of companies.
