Development Thread: NA

Description: Built from the ground up with efficiency in mind, the Nexus-class Cruiser is a simple and reliable warship that serves in a number of fleets. The engineers of this vessel set out to lower the production cost of the vessel by substituting a large portion of the ship's laser weaponry with cheaper mass-driver weapons. This balance of different weaponry, which included concussion missile launchers, inadvertently made the Nexus remarkably well-rounded on the offensive. Thanks to the wide range of weaponry, captains of this vessel found themselves capable of exploiting a number of weaknesses in an enemy ship's design. From insufficient ray shielding to neglected particle shields, the Nexus was capable of registering a target ship's vulnerabilities and focusing its efforts into coordinated strikes.

Since its introduction, the Nexus-class Cruiser has become a common sight in fleets across the galaxy. Its relatively cheep price, combined with its tactical flexibility have made it a favorite of many as struggling government or fringe warlord who have turned this vessel into the backbone of any fleet unable to afford to field large numbers of star destroyers.
