Description (Specifications)
The Tacoolu class Light Cruiser is employed on the fringes of Imperial space, where long-range capability is a necessity 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)

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