Swordsman class light cruiser
The Sirius Trade Federation
Back to the Starships and Spacecraft contents

The Swordsman class light cruisers make up over seventy percent of the Federations light cruiser strength. With construction of newer cruisers running behind schedule the Sirius Trade Federation has decided to keep the Swordsman class in service longer than planned. To assist in this as yard resources become available Swordsman are being rotated for extensive refits of electronics and secondary weapons systems. This has been helped by the large amount of reserve power available to the vessels.
