Dauntless-class heavy cruiser

The Dauntless-class heavy cruiser was a model of heavy warship used by the Astragon Navy and the Rebel Alliance.

Characteristics
The Dauntless class was gigantic compared to most other second sector designs, but it was admitted into this sector due to it being a cruiser and not a destroyer.

It is 1,200 meters long, but it does not go for power in fights. Rather, its weapons are suited for it to hold out for a long time until its reinforcements arrive. As such, its shields and armor are very impressive. Eight medium turbolaser batteries give it considerable firepower, while six heavy ion cannons disable enemy ships. Twelve proton torpedo tubes add to its firepower when hitting attackers. Fourty laser cannons prevent fighters or ordinance from getting anywhere near this vessel.

The only thing this ship lacks is a hangar, and its defenses can be overwhelmed by enough fighters. One ship was destroyed by such a tactic.
