Armitage-Class Republic Light CruiserClassification • Ship Origin • Kuat Drive Yards Specifications Size • - Height:60m - Width: 108m - Length: 453m Appearance • Relatively flat and long the Armitage class is made up of a large triangular forward hull and a wide rear thrust. The port and starboard side of the ship carries eight triple heavy laser cannons in partial turrets two aft and three forward of the side hanger bays on each side as well as a pair of twin light turbolaser mounts on either side of the hunger bay entrance.. The main command deck lies between and slightly to the rear of the ventral medium turbolaser batteries. A final shuttle and dropship bay lay at the front of the ship with its opening facing down between the loading and fire control of its four torpedo tubes. Internally the ship consists of six decks with an additional small command deck. The inside of the ship broadly consists of habitation space and crew quarters on deck one through three and hanger, storage, and engineering space on decks three through six. Function The Armitage Class was created by KDY to feel the role of maritime patrol and defense roles along the long and tense borders between the Republic and the Empire. The Armitage was designed as a heavier complement to republic frigate and destroyers and is often used as the lead ship for frigate and destroyer squadrons when in battle. While significantly better armed and shielded than a smaller Destroyer or frigate the Armitage's hull is not significantly more reinforced we compared to larger frigates or destroyers to maintain high enough speeds to keep up with the smaller ships. This high reliance on shielding as well as the vessels reliance on its torpedos against larger warships limits the combat time of the armitage and makes the ship more suited for hit and run tactics much like the destroyers it was designed to compliment.The Armitage has a minimum crew size of 540 and an optimal crew of 1080.
