Production: Mass
Material: Durasteel, Alusteel, Glassteel, and other shipbuilding materials
Description:


As the new Republic fleet grew, the need for larger ships to replace aging equivalents or, more frequently, to fill roles left empty by previous administrations became more and more apparent.

The Nixor-class Cruiser helped to get the ball rolling. Trading gun numbers for hard hitting cannons, the Nixor easily matches most known ships of its size in use. Toting ten heavy, dual barreled turbolasers to blow apart opposition and five heavy, dual barreled ion cannons to disable heavier vessels, the cruiser can easily pull its own weight. In addition, the Nixor features eight heavy concussion missile launchers for a devastating frontal attack and protects itself from fighters and missiles with a lethal array of AA weapons. All in all, the Nixor-class is an excellent ship and paves the way for larger and more modernized ship designs.

The Nixor does feature some failing points. While able to swing all of its capital guns in a 360 degree arc around itself laterally, the ship cannot fire all guns above or below itself. Also, most of the defensive guns are located on either the port or starboard side of the ship, leaving it somewhat vulnerable to fighters and missiles coming from the bow or stern.
