Unity-class cruiser

The Unity-class comprised fifty-four heavy cruisers built to replace the aging ships of the United Nations Space Command and were the first cruisers of the UNSC to be designed to carry a magnetic accelerator cannon. Unity cruisers were the workhorse cruisers of the UNSC from their introduction in the last decade of the twenty-third century until the Inner Colony Wars erupted in the 2380s.
