Description: RRDI's Kalestat-Class Cruiser was developed post-CIS on their new orbital shipyard ring. Expanding their market further into medium-sized capital ships and a whole line of fleet roles, the company sought to produce a ship small enough to take a secondary support role but powerful enough to keep enemy starcraft at bay. The result was a standard size cruiser packing four walloping heavy long-range flak batteries on forward radials. Also in its armament are several turbolaser turrets and one point defense weapon on both sides of each battery to keep enemy bombers and fighters from trying to target the batteries' weaker undersides. A single hangar can be acceded behind the bridge, or underside by the near centermass of the cruiser, protected by metal hangar doors and ray shielding.
