Solomani Sydney class Heavy Cruiser
The Sydney class heavy cruiser is a modificaiton of the Scharhorst heavy
Cruiser design. The Sydney replaces the Scharorst massive PAW with a meson gun
, and improves the ships Meson screens. The Sydney class does not have the
fuel shuttle or the fuel purificaiton plant that the Scharhorst has. This was
done in order to improve the Sydney's meson gun and Meson screen. Althought d
ependent on tankers, and with it limited jump capability, the Sydeny class crui
ser can make its presents felt in any fleet action.
The first of the Sydeny class cruiser was seen in a small boarder clashbet
ween the Solomaniand an Aslan Fleet. Since that time Sydney class cruiser have
begun to appear in small numbers throughtout solomani space. There have uncon
firmed report that one of the ship yards producting the Sydeny has retooled.
Intelligence sources have speculated that this may mean the Sydney class main
gun may be soon upgraded to TL-15 standards.
