A support ship of the Nagai Alliance, the Yulari-class Cruiser is a highly advanced warship frequently sighted in Companion Galaxy Besh, and occasionally spotted in the Outer Rim. Filled to the brim with alien technology, the Yulari-class Cruiser sports exotic sonic weapons, advanced stealth technology, and a disturbingly fast ion drive. Most notably for the cruiser, are a number of advanced sensor nodes built into extendable towers along the ship's flanks. When deployed, these sensors afford the ship highly accurate, long range sensors along her forward arc.
Much like their infantry, Nagai Alliance warships favor an advanced form of Sonic Weaponry as their primary armament. These weapons share a cursory similarity with the ancient Pseudosonic Beamers, but are far more advanced and much more lethal. These weapons, while comparable to Turbolasers in a cursory sense, produce spheres of projected energy that, upon contact with a solid object or energy field, detonate into a powerful omnidirectional blast of sonic energy. These sonic weapons are supported by an assortment of advanced Mass-driver Cannons firing exotic ammunition similar to Cacophanizer Shells. Somewhat similar to HE rounds, these shells explode upon impact and produce a powerful concussive blast upon detonation.
While both of these weapons can cause damage to the exterior plating of a ship, their lethality comes from their ability to send shockwaves through the outer plating of a starship and into the underlining structure. Here, under the outer skin of the ship, the concussive waves created by these weapons are capable of causing intense vibrations that can sheer structural supports and collapse rooms and hallways within the outer layers of the ship. Similarly, these weapons are known to transfer vibrational energy directly into the atmosphere of an impacted ship where shockwaves of compressed air can travel through rooms and along hallways. So intense are these shockwaves that they can cause the internal organs of nearby, unprotected crew members to explode as the shockwave passes through their bodies. Even distant and protected crew often suffer from intense pain and disorientation should their ship be poorly equipped to deal with the effects of these sonic weapons.
The Yulari-class Nagai Cruiser also arms itself with an assortment of missile launchers, primarily utilizing advanced Collapsium Missiles that, upon detonation, produce a devastating shock-wave similar to that of a Seismic Charge. A number of point defense, repeating sonic blasters also adorn the ship.
