Strengths:
- Heavy Assault Cruiser - Prioritizing the offensive armament of this class of vessel, the Raiders offensive capabilities outclass all other systems specifications and capabilities.
- Small Craft Hangar - Housing two assault squadrons and one lambda class troop transport squadron, the Raiders Hangar is ideal for a vessel of her size and armament.
- Slow Maneuverability - A large vessel with adequate speed yet awkward in it's mass costs the Raider Class Assault Cruiser in it's maneuverability.
- Power Distribution - Priorities are important and bad choices can get you killed, here the captain will need to choose between fire power or speed and defense as the power coursing through this vessel cannot provide maximum output to all three core systems simultaneously, (High speed = Low Fire Power & Vice Versa).
The Raider Class Assault Cruiser has been inspired by it's predecessor of the Galactic Empire's Raider Class Corvette designed and manufactured out of the Kuat Drive Yards. Gyndine Shipyards, thanks to their amicable trade and political standing with the Empire, have since been commissioned to begin work upon a new line of vessels secured under private contract by [member=Veiere Arenais]; the new assembly line is intended to become the main driving force behind the Dark Jedi Order.
The Crew Compliment of the Assault Cruiser ranges from four and a half to eight thousand personnel per any single vessel; a skeleton crew or in other words the least amount of personnel required to operate the vessel can do so though leave her disadvantaged during combatant scenario's and is otherwise ill-advised.
Passengers or personnel not of the vessels direct crew can count up to the maximum number of two thousand. These personnel are often of militaristic nature making use of and being restricted to the Barracks. It's through the troop drop-ships that all personnel are carted aboard, the smaller craft themselves made fit for the fire that often comes with the entrance into hostile territories.
The Raiders Cargo capacity stops at a grand ten thousand metric tonnes and can facilitate the full number of personnel aboard for a full two years, pushing it to two and a half with a skeleton crew and minimal passenger compliment.
