Draft Imperial Strike Cruiser (Military
Starship)
This draft was produced on 31 October 1990. As conceived, the strike cruiser is almost all offense. Defensive considerations are limited to light armor, a small battery of lasers and sand casters, and fairly high agility. (I don't think you can get a whole lot more agile than this and still provide power for a spinal mount.) Endurance calculations are based on running power covering life support and 4-G acceleration (as well as the low power weapons, if needed). Running power is 48% of full power, which is close enough to say that one combat hour costs two endurance hours.
