The Prize class light cruisers are a technological development of the preceding Swordsman class. Construction has been halted with only four examples completed as a result of the classes poor comparison to older UWC vessels such as the Carlisle class. It has been rumoured that the design team responsible for the class were either executed or were sentenced to exile at a penal colony. In actuality apart from the single spinal weapon the class compares with other states light cruisers, the secondary armament is generally well thought of and the anti-missile defences are amongst the best so far produced. Compared to the earlier Swordsman class the Prize class vessels are somewhat better armoured and have somewhat greater endurance. Discussions are currently underway with other parties who are interested in purchasing all four of the vessels despite the potential maintenance difficulties. It appears likely that the Federation will agree and transfer vessels as newer cruisers come from the yards. |
