Description (Specifications)
The Tacoolu class Light Cruiser is employed on the fringes of Imperial space where long range is required to cross between widely scattered stars. They are built to "live off the land", with over-engineered machinery, multiple redundancies, and wilderness refuelling capabilities. Their lack of armor and agility puts them at a disadvantage in combat. This is somewhat compensated for by their use of a prototype Black Globe generator. Tacoolu class vessels have had more than their fair share of first encounters and border skirmishes, and a number of examples of the class have been lost.

History & Background (Dossier)
The intended mission of Tacoolu class Light Cruisers is covert operations: they are spy-ships.

A common practice is to use their Black Globes for concealment.
