[SIZE=10pt]Intent:[/SIZE][SIZE=10pt] To finally develop a modernized and properly armed heavy cruiser utilizable as a multi-purpose ship, not strictly a weapons platform.
Development Thread: N/A
Manufacturer: Seinar Fleet Systems
Model: Heavy Cruiser
Affiliation: Sith Empire
Modularity: Yes
Production: Mass-Produced
Material: Durastee;
Description: The XoXaan only partially filled the role of Heavy Cruiser in the Imperial navy. While a primarily frontline design, it wasn't [/SIZE]designed to be flexible, for use as a multi-purpose mid-sized ship. As such, Seinar engineers brought in the Vindican, a newer design that, while not as well-armed, is far more tactically flexible.
Armed with a flexible mixture of point-defense turrets, missile tubes, and turbolasers of light and heavy grades, the Vindican also features a hangar bay, specifically to allow for a modest amount of fighter craft to be carried. Its tactical flexibility will allow the Vindican to easily supplement the XoXaan and phase out the last Charons, lasting as part of the Imperial navy for years to come.
