Avaran-Class Light-Cruiser

undefined

The Avaran-Class Light-Cruiser, was a class of light warship designed and used by TeamEX for operation long distances from support, especially in extragalactic space. First deployed during the final year of the TeamEX-ALI War, it was adopted as the primary warship of the Outer-Sinnethus Protectorate, and was used across Galaxia by TeamEX for law enforcement. The ship continued to see use into the TeamEX-Nameless War. Most notably, it was the main class of ship used in the Sikeiva Counteroffensive. The Avaran-Class was equipped with incredibly powerful engine systems, which could accelerate the ship at a speed unmatched by any other ship operated by TeamEX.

The Avaran-Class Light Cruiser was instrumental for collapsing the ALI empire, despite being introduced so late into the war, thanks to its ability to travel long distances at great speeds. Despite many vessels from the TeamEX-ALI war being disused due to calls for demilitarisation after the war ended, the Avaran-Class was kept in service due to its versatility, and was feared by pirates in the period of peace prior to the TeamEX-Nameless War.

Design
The Avaran-Class Light-Cruiser possessed a long cylindrical body with a bulbous front-end. Two enormous engine bodies were attached to the rear-end of the body, and a command bridge sat between the tops of these engines and above the main body. Each engine body was equipped with a cramped hangar-area, allowing the ship to carry up to eight fighter craft.

Plasma-turrets placed strategically along the body and engines of the ship granted the ship comprehensive firing arcs. This was supplemented by its rapid-firing point-defence turrets capable of shooting down torpedoes and fighter craft, allowing the ship to defend itself without sacrificing its offensive capabilities.
