Intent: To give the CIS a balanced cruiser and fulfill Silk's obligations to the Techno Union
Development Thread: No
Manufacturer: Silk Holdings/EDY
Model: Krell-class Cruiser
Affiliation: CIS
Modularity: No
Production: Mass-produced
Material: Durasteel hull, glasteel viewports
Description: The Krell-class is designed to provide fleet formations with protection from massed warheads, gunship charges, and waves of bombers. It is less effective at close range, and against other capital ships. Against transports, gunships and bombers, however, it is lethal, along the same lines as Silk's larger Ackbar-class. Other vessels with a similar level of maneuverability (class 4) can also be targeted with increased accuracy. Its capital guns are single-barrel affairs on fastmounts, occasionally causing problems for fire coordination but maximizing tracking speed to handle quick vessels.
