G08TX-043A Arclight class Cruiser (Modless)

The G08TX-043A Arclight class Cruiser is the first constructed 8th generation vessel in the Cerillian Alliance Fleet. Built to operate completely independently of other fleet ships, the Arclight is a Long range recon Cruiser.

Constructed from an incomplete G07EC-041C “Silver Lance” class Frigate and a stripped down CAP07-297C “Wolf-Fang” class Corvette, the “Arclight” is the newest and most evolved form of the BAXTON-type ships. Having a more complex structure than most Cerillian vessels, this ship is not built to be an active combatant, however it is able to hold its own if required.

Being the first TX designated hull to be fitted with engine nacelles, the “Arclight” handles in quite a different manner to all of her predecessors. In addition to her unique engine configuration, the “Arclight” also has a more extensive and engineer-friendly Engineering section, as well as being capable of mounting a vastly superior weapons load out than most Cerillian ships.

The “Arclight” is a unique blend of old and new sub-system technology. Every door (excluding Hangar blast doors) on-board is completely button free, inclusive of both airlocks, allowing for rapid and easy navigation of the vessel. The down side of this ships sub-system complexity is that all redundant armour has been removed in favour of function, or power storing systems.

Having crew and cryo stations for 5 people on-board, the “Arclight” only has a small crew, however it is capable of supporting up to 3 small craft on its external landing platforms and its internal hangar. While not designed to be a carrier, it is fitted with a similar connector configuration as a G07TX-042F “Vigil” class Cruiser.

Despite still being Mil-spec, as part of the Cerillian civil paramilitary policy, most CAF surplus ships have been released for distribution. Although the civil variants are military models, the have a slightly different configuration. -------------------------------- Unique Version - the CAF.PRIDE -------------------------------- Other Information:
