The Regulus class Strike Cruiser is a light warship.

It is a military ship and a Strike Cruiser.

Description (Specifications)[edit]

It is a vessel with 4-G and J-2 performance with a streamlined conical hull.

It carries heavy armament and a defensive suite.
It ordinarily carries a pair of 20 ton Gig subcrafts, two 8dton G Carriers ship's vehicles, and drones only when needed.
It has a 242 sophont crew and 80 marines.

Regulus class Strike Cruisers
Envisioned as the smallest hull that would hold the largest available particle accelerator spinal mounted weapon. The ship is literally wrapped around this primary weapon. At first, Vilani designs of the Ziru Sirka were ill equipped to repel firepower of this magnitude. They have 124 double occupancy staterooms for 242 crew which include: 11 command, 50 engineering, 65 gunnery, 5 flight, 31 service and 80 marines. Unarmored, under-powered and poorly protected, they feature the experimental, reverse engineered repulsors. The design's focus is on offensive power. They deployed with Jump-2 drop tanks for extended range strike missions.

History & Background (Dossier)[edit]

They served with the Terran Confederation Navy during the period of the Interstellar Wars. They featured the offensive punch of the larger Admiral Clarkson class Attack Cruisers, with fewer heavy missile bays, they lacked agility and were defensively weak. They could be overwhelmed by massed Vilani long range missile salvos. They were cramped with full frozen watch and only 124 staterooms for 242 crew. Spartan and devoid of crew comfort they were expected to kill for a living. A few later versions were overhauled and converted into light carriers after a major refit, once meson armed ships took the lead.

-Envisioned as the smallest hull that would hold the largest available particle accelerator spinal mounted weapon. The ship is literally wrapped around this primary weapon. At first, [[Vilani]] designs of the [[Ziru Sirka]] were ill equipped to repel firepower of this magnitude. They have 115 double occupancy staterooms for 224 crew which include: 11 command, 76 engineering, 74 gunnery, 3 flight, 40 service and 20 marines. Unarmored, under-powered and poorly protected, they feature the experimental, reverse engineered repulsors. The design's focus is on offensive power. The large cargo bay allowed later refits of this series to incorporate additional marine barracks, or fighter squadrons to enhance mission flexibility. They deployed with Jump-2 drop tanks with an additional 28 day endurance.
