The Stormcrow-class Cruiser, also known as the Stormcrow-class Star Destroyer, was a military starship specifically designed to focus on the transportation of starfighter craft. It was produced by Iron Wrath Industries, and saw use as part of the Iron Imperial Navy.
A dedicated carrier, the Stormcrow eschewed much of its weaponry, in favor of considerable starfighter capacity. This narrow focus, led to the cruiser being able to carry upwards of 8 squadrons of starfighter craft. However, this led to the Stormcrow lacking in offense weaponry. Equipped with a paltry 8 turbolaser batteries, and 6 ion batteries, the cruiser's armaments were more comparable to that of a frigate, than a cruiser.
As a result, the Stormcrow was never intended to directly engage enemy vessels. Rather, its contingent of starfighter craft would set upon the enemy, while the cruiser itself acted a platform for craft to repair, rearm, and refuel. To that end, the Stormcrow was outfitted with ample defensive capabilities, so as to survive extended engagements.
