Description: The pinnacle of Crinan engineering outside the Destroyer Analog Heavy Cruiser, the Rauzana class stealth command frigate is the latest and perhaps most advanced piece of technology Crina has developed. Utilizing stealth technology that would never have found its way onto a Crinan ship without the Imperial Remnant bringing the awareness of such resources with them when they moved onto the world, the Rauzana class has its hull coated with Nightshadow. The stealth coating thusly creating a natural heightened defense against sensor systems, as well as hiding it against the backdrop of space were someone to try and look for it with their eyes alone.
However, it was a noted weakness of the stealth coating that engine emissions still gave it away to detection, and as a result thrust trace dampeners were also installed onto the warship. Now running silent and hidden, the Rauzana class intends to remain out of enemy sight as long as possible. This is important as the ship acts as a command coordinator during battles, hiding away at the edge of combat behind its allied forces to organize the fleet without being able to be singled out. As part of the ship's design, the command center is actually separate from the bridge in the case an attack is launched against it should it be discovered, in which case the fleet command structure and the ship's own would not be crippled in a single strike.
The ship can also act as a raiding vessel quite effectively, its heavy armaments and presence of fighter support making it excellent for ambushing freighters and convoys along enemy supply lines as it could approach undetected before launching a barrage of missile fire and unleash a viscous turbolaser salvo. However, as the ship does not go invisible like stealth craft with Stygium Cloaking, it is not effective at sneaking onto a planet's surface, as it would be seen visually much more easily near or within atmosphere.
