Torik-class

== Torik-class Light Cruiser ==
The Torik-class Light Cruiser is a line ship designed to provide fire support and cover many kinds of mission profiles. Relying on automation and easy operation in mind, the expendable warship is designed to familiarise new recruits with the playstyle required of MercDragon's heavier cruisers.  Since it lacks much of the advanced technology and sheer force of size found on larger ships, it does not have much of a role in 1-on-1 PvP.  That said, it is useful in a number of support roles such as PvE, clearing drone fleets, and providing long range fire support in fleet operations.
== Development ==
The Torik was designed to be able to cover many kinds of mission profiles. The systems were developed by the Navy with redundancies and modular assets, as to quickly change the ship capacities at any given moment. The armor plating was also a bonus, granting the Torik a high level of survivability at some cost in speed.
The standard armaments were comprised of internal beam arrays and missiles, giving it a varied set of weapons for different ranges.
By 2317, the Torik received an update following a review by the Engineering Corp of its capabilities. The Torik MK2 was introduced with additional shield capacitors, three LREMTs (Long Range Energy Missile Turret) and a beam turret. The increased firepower also added extra load on his reactor arrays. Those were expanded by the use of Auxilliary Reactor banks. The avionics package was updated to increase sensor range and drives were optmized for long range travel.
The vessel was decomissioned following the universal "Power 2.0" update until further revision
