The Normandy class Heavy Cruiser is a heavy warship.

• It is a military ship and a Cruiser.

Description (Specifications)

The Third Reformed French Confederate Republic built Normandy Heavy Cruiser fought during the Solomani Rim War. Streamlined and sleek, the Normandy packed a respectable punch. Average agility and mediocre armor kept it from being able to sustain heavy damage. Hundreds of rapid fire missile turrets were used instead of the heavier missile bays to save space at the expense of fire power. A reinforced marine company was carried for planet side operations and securing ships during boarding actions.

History & Background (Dossier)

Relatively inexpensive for their size, a bargain in naval procurement circles. They served with distinction until the end of the war and beyond in the hands of friendly client states. Without the commitment of additional shipyard resources and extra construction crews it took almost a standard year to complete each cruiser.
