The Kuln-class light cruiser was built to be a support craft for the Halifax-class Battlecruisers, a mobile weapon platform to exploit holes punched in the defenses of the enemy. Not equipped with lighter guns, it could overpower any frigate or smaller ship very quickly with the sheer amount of firepower it could push out, with the one two punch of shield disrupting particle weapons and armour melting fusion weapons, while carrying enough torpedoes to deal critical damage to even larger ships. It remained fairly mobile as well, but was outmatched by the comparable Toledo-class in that regards, especially as the range of the Kuln-class was considered extremely limited. Multiple Kuln-class were ordered as supplemental ships by the Etherite Federation, who kept them and refitted them long after the more modern Kinshasa-class replaced the Kuln in the Confederate forces.
