Arquitens-class command cruiser

The Arquitens-class command cruiser, also known as the Imperial light cruiser, was a multipurpose light cruiser used by the Imperial Navy, in which it filled roles from detached patrol vessel to communications ship to capital ship support. It was a reworking of Kuat Drive Yards' Arquitens-class light cruiser, though they shared only structural similarities.

The Arquitens-class command cruiser was manufactured by Kuat Drive Yards for the Imperial Navy, initially entering service as a reworking of the Arquitens-class light cruiser which had served with the Republic Navy. The multipurpose light cruiser design served in a variety on roles, protecting remote Imperial assets, performing detached patrol duties in the Outer Rim Territories, acting as support to larger battle groups, serving as an armed transport, and as a communications ship.
