Description
The Luxor-class heavy cruiser was designed in response to the Star League Naval Command’s request for a replacement for the Avatar-class cruiser. Mitchell Vehicles had actually designed the Luxor well before the request, and modified the design to meet the project requirements;[1] during the competition itself, political pressure from the Chief Executive Officer of Blue Nose Clipperships and long-time ally of Mitchell Vehicles, Craig Kovac, ensured that the other competing design, the Soyal-class heavy cruiser designed by Nicholas Shipyards, wasn't selected.[3]
The first mission of the nascent Luxor-class was convoy protection for troop ferries, an SLDF redeployment required to pacify the Periphery in response to First Lord Richard Cameron’s steep tax hikes.[1]
However, the shortlived Luxor-class became a casualty of the Amaris Civil War, mostly as a result of engagements with Caspar Space Defense Drones. The Drones prioritized Luxor-class vessels as major threats, leading the SLDF to deploy Luxors as decoys – a suicide mission for their crews. The last Luxor was destroyed over Terra in 2777.[1]
Armament
The Luxor-class is well armored and maneuverable for a ship of its size. The armament of the Luxor-class is designed to engage capital vessels, and packs a lot of firepower. The firepower is composed of naval autocannons, naval lasers and naval PPCs. However, the Luxor-class is relatively defenseless against attack by smaller AeroSpace assets, and requires its fighter cover for defense.[1]
Cargo
Though not able to ferry as much cargo as some other cruisers, the Luxor-class does boast 4 DropShip collars. In addition, the class has two separate bays. Bay 1 is meant for ferrying AeroSpace Fighters and small craft, of which it can contain 2 squadrons and 4 vessels, respectively. Bay 2 is the cargo bay, which is capable of holding 53,594 tons of cargo.[1]
