Description[edit]
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 design competition itself, political pressure from the Chief Executive Officer of Blue Nose Clipperships and longtime ally of Mitchell Vehicles' CEO Craig Kovac was fierce. This interference ensured that the other competing design, the Soyal-class heavy cruiser designed by Delhi Warships division Nicholas Shipyards, wasn't selected.[3][4]
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 Taxation Edict of 2763, invoking steep tax hikes and the outbreak of the New Vandenberg Uprising.[1][5]
In production at the Graham IV shipyards until 2765, when the SLS Rhodan was launched, the short-lived 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 Luxor crews, though ensuring the transports completed their missions. The last Luxors were destroyed over Terra in 2777.[1]
Armament[edit]
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[edit]
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]
- Bay 1: Aerospace Fighters (12), 6 doors
- Small Craft (4)
- Bay 2: Cargo (53,594 tons), 1 door
