STRENGTHS

• Rounded: The Sovereign-class sports a strong offensive capability as well as good defenses, along with respectable speed and agility for its size.
• Hangars: For its size, the cruiser can deploy a good amount of fighters and support ships.
• Management: Featuring an automated management system, the ship allows for minimal crew in order to function effectively.
• Retractable: Most of the secondary armament can be retracted into the hull to appear less threatening and fool enemy scanners.

WEAKNESSES

• Bias: Designed to be an offensive ship, the engines are very exposed and somewhat sparsely covered by armament.
• Shields: The molecular shielding's capability is significantly weaker than those found in dedicated generators.
• Ability: While well balanced, the ship’s versatile design can leave it lacking against more powerful or numerous adversaries.
• Arcs: With most of the weaponry situated along the bow and angles of the ship, overexposure can leave it dangerously vulnerable from the sides and rear.

DESCRIPTION
With speed and firepower covered by other ships, a necessary middle ground is left vacant, as well as a rounded cover to other ships in the Confederate Navy. The proposed solution to these concerns was to combine the best of both worlds, while also keeping costs down to allow for more available units.

The result is the Sovereign-class Assault Cruiser. Compared to other Confederate ships, the simplified design is prominently shown in the overall appearance of the comparatively skeletal ship. However, the design does not reflect the capability of the cruiser. Designed to be well rounded and plentiful, the Sovereign-class is a reliable and dependable backbone to any fleet.
