Description


In 2766, the Rim Worlds Republic WarShip fleet deployed an unknown Dart-Class Cruiser in an effort to secure the shipyards above Mars.[3]

Armament

The armament of the Dart-class is focused on larger naval adversaries. The Dart mounts several medium-grade naval autocannons, and supplements this payload with naval lasers, naval PPCs, and naval missile systems. This choice in ammunition-dependent weaponry seems curious, given the Dart's intended role as an independent vessel. The Dart is also quite defenseless against aerospace fighters on its own - the ship only has 4 Killer Whale missile systems and no fighter screen.[1]

Cargo

The Dart has a 140,060 tons cargo capacity, can ferry 6 small craft, and transit with an impressive six DropShips. A reinforced company of 120 space marines were assigned to the class.[1]
