These [[SLDF]] cruisers were originally tasked with the defense of underwater command bunkers, but with the fall of the [[Star League]] the ability to maintain these ships became lost and they quickly fell to ruin. This left the [[Lyran Commonwealth Armed Forces]] in a debate with itself not just with a replacement but whether to retain some type of blue-water capability. As it happened most Lyran [[Social General]]s argued in favor of a replacement, insofar as it would allow them to keep what were derisively called their "personal pleasure yachts," and after much wrangling the new Meabh-class heavy cruisers were finally approved for construction in [[2807]].<ref name="TRO:VAp164"/><ref name="TRO:VArp162"/> − In spite of their inauspicious beginnings the Meabh cruisers performed well and were highly praised. Their ability to "outgun every ship they could not outrun and outrun every ship they could not outgun" made these ships the standard by which other LCAF cruisers were measured. Streamlining and automation updates kept the Meabh current and in production well into the [[2870]]s. However it was factors other than the ship's performance which brought about its downfall. The undersea command posts which the class had been designed to defend, expensive luxuries even during the Golden Age of the Star League, had become increasingly rare. What few bunkers remained could also be better defended by newer, cheaper vessels, namely the [[Neptune Submarine]] and its carbon copies. Additionally the LCAF made a decision in [[2932]] to hand off authority (and the corresponding expenses) for most naval forces, including the Meabh, to local planetary authorities. These factors resulted in the decommission of the Meabh-class heavy cruisers; those which weren't scrapped would eventually be turned into museum ships.<ref name="TRO:VAp164"/><ref name="TRO:VArp162"/> No effort has since been made to resurrect the class.<ref name="TRO:VArp152">''Technical Readout: Vehicle Annex Revised'', p. 152: "Naval (Surface) Vessel Support Vehicles"</ref>+ Constructed during the Succession Wars by the Lyran Commonwealth, the Meabh Class Heavy Cruiser was designed as naval escort and sea patrol replacement for [[SLDF]] era Ocean based blue water naval cruiser.

A single [[large laser]] is also mounted in each turret.
