Background: The Strike-class medium cruiser, also known simply as the Strike Cruiser, was a medium star cruiser designed by the Loronar Corporation during the Galactic Civil War for the Imperial Navy as a general-purpose vessel capable of modular modifications to allow it to fit many mission profiles, yet cheap enough to be produced in large quantities.
The 450-meter-long Strike-class was capable of challenging larger Alliance cruisers with its surprisingly heavy load of firepower, strong shields, and high sublight speed. Armaments included 20 light turbolasers, ten turbolaser batteries, ten ion cannons, and ten tractor beam projectors. However, the storage spaces and skeletal structure proved weak against enemy fire once the shields were down.
The Order of Battle considered two Strike-class cruisers the equivalent of one Victory-class Star Destroyer.
The interior storage space of the Strike-class could be modified for different missions. The most common sets were designed for planetary garrison, space superiority, and planetary assault. Planetary garrison loadouts included an assault company, two AT-STs, one AT-AT, and several support speeders; space superiority included up to three squadrons of TIEs; the planetary assault loadout included five AT-ATs.
