	==Description==		==Description==
−	Designed originally as a proof of concept vessel by [[Krester's Ship Construction]], the '''''Kimagure'''''-class pursuit cruiser (Kimagure translates to "capricious" in Japanese) was so impressive that the [[SLDF]] placed an initial order for 12 vessels, with more to follow. The ''bona fides'' established by Krester's earned them the contract for the famous ''[[Texas]]''-class battleship in the 27th century.<ref name=TRO:3057Rp218/>	+	Designed originally as a proof of concept vessel by [[Krester's Ship Construction]], the '''''Kimagure'''''-class pursuit cruiser (Kimagure translates to "capricious" in Japanese) was so impressive, the [[SLDF]] placed an initial order for 12 vessels, with more to follow.<ref name=TRO:3057Rp218/>
−	Due to the large prow extending below its forward hull, the ''Kimagure'' has a distinct silhouette, which has given the vessel nicknames like "hatchetface". On the opposite end of the vessel, the immense interplanetary drives of the ''Kimagure'' dominate the stern, propelling the design up to 4 Gs, able to keep pace with some corvettes. Four-occupant bunkrooms for enlisted crew belied a well-regarded ship for crew comforts.<ref name=TRO:3057Rp218/>	+	Due to the large prow extending below its forward hull, the ''Kimagure'' has a distinct silhouette, which has given the vessel nicknames like "hatchface". On the opposite end of the vessel, the very large interplanetary drives of the ''Kimagure'' dominate the stern. The ''Kimagure'' was very well-liked by crews.<ref name=TRO:3057Rp218/>
−	The ''Kimagure'' boasts a fantastic mix of heavy armor and a much smaller ship's maneuverability while maintaining devastating firepower. These exceptional attributes combined to make the ''Kimagure'' one of the premiere cruisers of the fleets of the [[Star League]].<ref name=TRO:3057Rp218/>	+	The ''Kimagure'' boasts a fantastic mix of heavy armor, corvette-like maneuverability, and devastating firepower.

	However, the ''Kimagure'' was surprisingly prone to destruction, primarily a result of poor heat management. A ''Kimagure'' surrounded on multiple firing arcs by hostile vessels only had enough heat sinks for broadsides against a single target, prompting adversaries to attempt to pincer and overwhelm a lone ''Kimagure''.<ref name=TRO:3057Rp218/>		However, the ''Kimagure'' was surprisingly prone to destruction, primarily a result of poor heat management.

−	The armament of the ''Kimagure'' is devastating. The vessel boasts naval PPCs covering all quarters, save the aft firing arc. Combined with naval-grade autocannons, every approach to the ''Kimagure'' is fraught with peril. The ''Kimagure'' also wields an extensive array of [[ER Large Laser]]s and [[Small Pulse Lasers]] to fend off attack by smaller aerospace assets.<ref name=TRO:3057Rp218/>	+	The armament of the ''Kimagure'' is devastating.

−	Though the ''Kimagure'' can function as a transport, the class is not meant to carry cargo. The ''Kimagure'' has a pair of [[Docking Collar|DropShip collars]] and just 2 bays. The first bay can carry 2 squadrons of [[aerospace fighters]], but the second bay can only manage less than 9,000 tons of cargo. A [[platoon]] of 30 [[space marine|space marines]] could be found aboard the class.	+	Though the ''Kimagure'' can function as a transport, the class is not meant to carry cargo.

−	== Variants ==
−	*; ''Kimagure Surprise'' : Only a single ship of this variant was constructed, the [[Surprise|SLS ''Surprise'']], which launched in [[2756]]. This design varied from the standard ''Kimagure'' in several ways. Firstly, the four Heavy NPPCs and four Medium NPPCs mounted in the nose of the ship had been replaced with a single [[Light Mass Driver]] supplied with thirty rounds of ammunition, and the removal of four of the Heavy NPPCs in each broadside. The number of fighters carried by the ship had been increased from twelve to thirty-six, and the amount of cargo space had almost doubled, with the ship capable of carrying 17,493 tons of cargo. The design also featured slightly increased structural and sail integrity and was forty-three meters longer. The SLS ''Surprise'' conducted tests of the Light Mass Driver that demonstrated a number of flaws with the design, including damage being inflicted on the ''Surprise'' when the weapon was fired. Further tests were postponed while the ''Surprise'' underwent a refit, but the start of the [[Amaris Civil War]] prevented any further development or the manufacture of any further ships of this class.
