Description -
The Seronnus class heavy cruiser is designed as a planetery assault cruiser that is capable of landing a division's worth of combat troops to the surface of a planet, and then maintain lower planetery orbit and provide direct fire support for their land campaign. The cruiser is fully capable of entering the atmosphere of a planet, and retains manuevering fins located on the fore and aft parts of the ship in order to produce excellent manueverability within the atmosphere of a planet. For the ship's role also beared in mind, the bridge and communications equipment is located on the lower part of the vessel so that the commander's can have an excellent view of the battle as it progresses below.
The vessel it's self is shaped in a cylindrical shape, and has the heavy warhead launchers forward. These weapons are designed for either planetery or space combat, and can be loaded with a wide variety of warheads, including normal torpedoes and missiles, heavy rockets, space bombs, and special use ionization or magnetic pulse weapons. Each tube has ten reloads from the magazines. The turbolasers are designed mainly for fire support missions, and have excellent long range targeting parameters, and have firing arcs to where no less then ten can fire from above or below, twelve from broadside, and six from fore or aft. A pair of tractor beam projectors covering the hangar entrance round out the armament.
The troop and vehicles can be deployed in any manner of ways. There are shuttles deployed to the hangar which can transport the troops to the surface, and there are specialized "escape" pods that can carry up to fifty soldiers apiece, located aft of the weapons and hangar entrance. The vehicles can be deployed either by transport or can be deployed via pods if they are equipped to be handled by such. A nominal screening force of twenty four starfighters has been embarked.
The Seronnus is not one for speed, nor is it for protection or armament. The vessel's main strength is that it can enter atmosphere without any problems, can lay down a decent fire support mission in any direction, can deploy a full mechanized division to a planet's surface, and that like most Starstriker Corporation vessels, it is cheap and easy to perform mantienence on. It is hoped that the Seronnus will find home in many of the galaxy's offensive assault forces, and perhaps in the hands of those who are...less that legitimate.
