STRENGTHS

• Maximum firepower: For a ship of its size, the Pyre-class Cruiser is surprisingly heavily armed, and is able to maximize its firepower towards anything that it faces
• Fast: For a ship of its size, the Pyre-class Cruiser is rather fast, thanks in no small part to its luxury liner heritage
• Versatile: Depending on its mission parameters, the Pyre-class Cruiser is capable of utilizing a variety of different weapon packages
• Spacious: Being a modified luxury liner, the Pyre-class Cruiser is able to hold a large amount of personnel, troops and supplies
• Comfortable: As far as military ships go, the Pyre-class Cruiser is far more comfortable than most, again thanks to its luxury liner heritage
• Automated: Much of the Pyre-class Cruiser is heavily automated, reducing crew requirements and increasing space for carry additional troops, vehicles and supplies

WEAKNESSES

• Glass cannon: Though it is heavily armed, the Pyre-class Cruiser is only lightly armored and quite vulnerable to being destroyed once its shields are down
• Firing arcs: With most of its weaponry being concentrated toward the front of the vessel, the Pyre-class Cruiser maintains a number of blindspots, especially towards the rear of the ship
• Limited: Though the Pyre-class Cruiser is capable of utilizing different weapon packages, it generally tends to rely on one main form of armament, somewhat limiting its versatility
• Small hangars: The Pyre-class Cruiser is only capable of holding a maximum of 2 starfighter and support squadrons, forcing it to rely on dedicated carriers for starfighter support
• Automated: Because much of the ship is automated, this means it tends to have a smaller than normal crew, which can make dealing with onboard emergencies and boarding attempts more difficult

DESCRIPTION

In order to fill in the gap between corvette sized vessels and Star Destroyer sized ones, the Mahporeem Imperial Remnant decided to develop the Pyre-class Cruiser. Barely larger than a frigate, the Pyre-class Cruiser is actually little more than a refitted Luxury Liner, albeit one with a number of unique characteristics often not seen on other comparably sized ships.

As is befitting of its heritage, the Pyre-class is a rather fast moving vessel for a ship of its size, and is able to carry a large amount of passengers and cargo, often far more than other similarly sized vessels. The Pyre-class Cruiser also retains many of the amenities that the ship possessed while it was still in civilian service, in an effort to keep the morale of those serving aboard the vessel as high as possible.

The majority of its weapons, whether they be NZ HP1 Turbolaser Cannons, AFT-14.4000B FLAK Turrets or AFT-PIC.445 Quad Plasma Cannon Turrets, are clustered toward the bow of the ship, giving the Pyre-class Cruiser excellent frontal firepower at the expense of its sides and rear. The Pyre-class Cruiser is best used in an aggressive manner, blitzing more poorly armed ships with its front facing weapons while using its speed to outrun anything that it cannot outgun.
