The Harmal class Missile Cruiser is a warship.
- It is a military ship and a Cruiser.
Description (Specifications)
Built for the Maujen Defense Bureau, these missile cruisers are designed to overwhelm enemy vessels in a massive barrage of nuclear ordinance, in an attempt to saturate the target's point defense capabilities. They are not particularly well suited to sustained, or independent operations. They prefer to attack en masse, and fade away.

History & Background (Dossier)
They have traditionally worked in a short range stand off mode. They jump 1 into the target area, hopefully with the element of surprise, lay waste to any targets of opportunity and jump 1 back to their staging area. They have performed micro jumps within the same system to achieve these objectives. The streamlined hull is armored, and fitted with scoops and fuel refineries to permit wilderness ocean refueling. The use their small marine platoon to insert commando operatives, in a special forces role. They avoid direct action against enemy massed troops. The four air rafts can support and recover the 19 man advanced element. The balance crew the close support grav vehicles. The single squadron of light fighters has fulfilled two roles. They are used to screen the cruiser against enemy missile fire, and enemy fighter strikes. They can also fly close support and surface strike missions for the marine force commandos. The weakness over the course of their service career is the low acceleration and lack of evasive agility.
