Liberator-class cruiser

The Liberator-class cruiser was a model of small but suprisingly powerful warship utilized by the Astragon Navy and the Rebel Alliance.

Characteristics
Despite being only 398 meters long, the Liberator can carry six squadrons of starfighters and three whole troop regiments. As such, its armor is not very thick, and it is meant for hit-and-run attacks. It has a class 2 hyperdrive, and it has a suprisingly heavy armament.

Each Liberator is armed with 24 heavy turbolaser batteries to tear ships apart once the ship's 20 ion cannons have knocked out their shields. As such, Astragon employs this ship class to make raids on enemy shipping lanes.
