Diomedes class light cruiser
Le Royaume des Etoiles du Cygne
Back to the Starships and Spacecraft contents

The Diomedes class of light cruiser are the result of an extensive refit of ex-UWC Boudicea class cruisers sold to the Royaume des Etoiles du Cygne. The vessels retain the TL9 spinal and parallel mounts as main armament but have been given a radically increased missile capacity, electronics and sensor suites have also been upgraded to TL10 standard.
