==Description==
Falling between the ''[[Black Lion]]''- and ''[[Sovetskii Soyuz]]''-class WarShips, the '''''Agamemnon'''''-class cruisers serve as the center for the [[FWLM]] naval offensive fleet. Though equipped with a weapons complement similar to the ''Black Lion'' class, the ''Agamemnon'' class doesn't mount as much armor as the ''Sovetskii Soyuz'', relying instead on speed and maneuverability to move it out of harm's way.<ref name=TRO3067p208/>

==Armament==
The ''Agamemnon'' class uses a series of [[Naval Autocannon]] as the main anti-WarShip armament, supplemented by a pair of [[Heavy Naval Gauss]] Rifles. Groups of [[Naval Laser]] mounts augment the NACs and HNG rifles, but are a respectable deterrent as anti-DropShip weapons.

Aerospace fighters that close on an ''Agamemnon'' thinking it's limited to capital weapons are in for a shock: The ''Agamemnon''-class cruisers mount a wide variety of anti-aerospace fighter weapons to prevent just that type of attack, from PPCs to small lasers. In addition, the ''Agamemnons'' mount multiple Anti-Missile Systems to protect against missile threats. These AMSs are mounted in every firing arc, covering every possible approach angle.

==Cargo==
The ''Agamemnon''-class ships can carry an aerospace fighter [[Wing (Formation)|wing]] in its first two cargo bays, making it one of the more well-defended WarShips used by the Inner Sphere. The last bay carries 85,758 tons of cargo, which provides plenty of storage space for the ''Agamemnon's'' crew, as well as its attached DropShips.

The four DropShip collars allow the ''Agamemnons'' to carry a variety of ship types. It isn't clear at this time if the [[LCCC]] will follow the same policy they have with the ''[[Thera]]'' class carriers; permanently assigning Assault DropShips to an ''Agamemnon'' would provide almost overwhelming local aerospace superiority.
