The TC18 Hocdef class Colonial Cruiser is a warship.

Description (Specifications)

The TC18 Hocdef class Colonial Cruiser is a destroyer class deployed by the Trooles Confederation. Examples of the class can be encountered throughout the coreward parts of Theta Borealis Sector. The vessel has a partially streamlined cylinder structure hull. It is fitted with fuel scoops and fuel purification plant allowing it to perform wilderness refueling.

Basic Ship Characteristics

Following the Imperial Navy and IISS Universal Ship Profile and data, additional information is presented in the format shown here. The small craft factor indicates the number of squadrons (of ten craft) carried on the ship. Tonnage on the universal ship profile is shown in kilotons (thousands of tons) where necessary. [1]
