Enforcer-class picket cruiser

The Enforcer-class picket cruiser was a model of small but suprisingly powerful capital ship in the second sector of the Astragon Navy.

Characteristics
The Enforcer-class is one of two variants of the venerable Vindicator-class heavy cruiser, a 600-meter-long Star Destroyer-like attack frigate. When it was created, the Enforcer was actually just a reworked Immobilizer 418 cruiser.

The massive, vulnerable power generators of the Interdictor were removed, and the power grids were greatly rearranged in a more efficient manner. In doing so, the naval architects who modified the ship soon found out that doing this would greatly power up the ship's weapons, shields, and tractor beams.

Unlike the Interdictor, which was armed for, at best, small cruisers or corvettes, the Enforcer has the firepower to take on ships equal in size to itself or even a little larger. To work effectively, these ships work in multiples of two.

The Enforcer is armed with ten turbolaser batteries, four forward, three port, and three starboard. Ten of the Interdictor's thirty quad laser cannons were kept to ward off enemy starfighters. Eight Ion cannon batteries were added to help the ship deal with heavily shielded targets, while four powered-up tractor beam projectors dragged enemy ships closer to the Enforcer's weapons batteries.

Like both the Vindicator and Immobilizer before it, the Enforcer had no hangars, instaed relying on Harbinger-class Escort Carriers to provide fighter support.
