Carrack Cruiser

Carrack Cruisers are a beast of a ship, developed by Kuat Drive Yards. There’s no topping this vessel’s durability and its weapon systems allow for a variety of applications. Its size enables the ship to support at least two fighter squadrons.
==Description==
This 350-meter Carrack Cruiser is at once characterized by its box-like appearance and powerful engine system, which takes up the entire stern portion of the ship. The forward-thrust bridge, which dominates the torpedo-like nose, gives the Carrack Cruiser the look of a cubed spacegoing eel. The strong square hull is dotted with numerous weapon emplacements and a rotator dish to facilitate sensor and jamming systems.
==Reputation==
On the small end of the medium range, the Carrack Cruiser is a cutting edge ship design notable for its extreme economy, its considerable ruggedness, and more than a little raw power. While it is technically a light cruiser, its unusually compact design packs the armor, shields, and firepower of a medium cruiser into a fairly small hull, creating a surprisingly tough little ship.
All known Carrack Cruisers serve under the Republic's Unified Command. They are most often used as pickets or as heavy scouting vessels, being fast enough to elude heavier vessels but powerful enough to project force. Their major weakness is a lack of docking space which prevents them from acting as bases of operations for full-scale forces.
