GHALALK CLASS ARMOURED CRUISER

FORMER THIRD IMPERIUM


Back to the Starships and Spacecraft contents

The Ghalalk class armoured cruiser was a basic fleet workhorse of the third imperiums navy. It is likely therefore that at least some vessels of this class survived virus. The vessels principle weakness is its limited fuel endurance, but with a jump-4 and 5G drive the cruisers can be very responsible.
