History & Background (Dossier)[edit]
The Xing!kir class is sometimes referred to as an assault cruiser or a missile cruiser. The names are justified: the vessel frequently operates in such roles. The onboard nuclear dampers and meson screens are of excellent quality and superior performance. The missile complement includes nuclear weapons for destroying threats (typically carnivores) from orbit en masse. The Xing!kir class appears to be a formidable warship at first glance, with powerful offensive weapons systems. However, this is offset by its poor acceleration and jump rating, its relatively thin skin and the total lack of internal bulkheads and compartments. While it is very hard-hitting it is also extremely vulnerable.
