DESCRIPTION​

The Garin I-class heavy cruiser is a capital ship which was developed by the venerable Domel-Berger Yards corporation during the years between the New Republic's fleet abolition and the resurgence of Galactic-scale warfare. Part of the company's Garin line, named for an ancient warlord who was an early adopter of turbolaser technology and one of Domel-Berger Yards' first customers, the Garin I is meant as a formidable but affordable option for independent planets and sector fleets.

The Garin I is 675 meters in length, roughly cigarra-shaped, with large stabilizer vanes at the rare, a raised dorsal command tower containing the main bridge, a ventral secondary tower, and a pair of long communication and sensor masts sweeping back from the bow, giving the ship an appearance reminiscent of certain large reptilian species. The ship is well armed, bristling with turbolasers, missile launchers, point-defense laser turrets, ion cannons and tractor beams. It has a crew of 2,500, with room for up to 7,500 passengers, 6,000 tons of cargo and consumables to last a year in space. The Garin I has hangar space for up to 24 starfighters or similarly sized craft, plus 4 shuttles.

Especially since the outbreak of war, the Garin I has proven popular with Domel-Berger Yards' customers. Considered a safer bet than a clapped-out Imperial-era model, given its modern systems and comprehensive warranty, the Garin I has been acquired by numerous relatively prosperous star systems as a means of assuring their sovereignty.

LEGALITY​

Restricted. Garin I-class heavy cruisers are classified as capital ships under Galactic law, and possess heavy weapons. As such, civilian owners will require extra licensing to operate one legally, and will receive increased scrutiny by authorities. Even then, they are ridiculously expensive to operate; only a relatively large faction or decently well-off planetary government would be able to afford it without swiftly bankrupting themselves. An individual would stand no chance.

INTENT​

To create a modern heavy cruiser for factions to use.

RESTRICTIONS​

Garin I-class heavy cruisers are large capital ships with heavy weapons, and capital ships cannot be owned or operated by individual characters. They may be acquired as a faction asset with staff oversight.
