Description

As Clan Kyodain spent extended amounts of time within the Outer Worlds sector, they found it practical to begin using larger starships to protect vital installations rather than wasting time constructing massive fleets and winding up with a shortage of crew members. The result was the Samurai-Class cruiser: central command cruiser capable of quickly launching commands to a surrounding fleet and deploying many  more wings of Battlesuits than either the Panzer class frigate, Arrow-class destroyer, or battleship can hold individually all at the benefit of a much smaller crew size than when constructing enough battleships to hold a similarly sized fleet of battlesuits. More than one Samurai-Class cruiser will rarely be seen beyond joint fleet exercises, important defenses or assaults, or protecting vital Kyodain installations.

Approved.
