Overview
The Sovetskii Soyuz was originally classed as a heavy cruiser and was developed as part of an overhaul of the Star League Defense Forces naval fleet after years of neglect due to large amounts of money being spent on the automated Space Defense Systems which, in the end, proved easy for Amaris the Usurper to seize. While SDS construction had been going on, the Star League fleet had fallen behind in technology and capability when compared to newer WarShips emerging from member state shipyards. The Sovetskii Soyuz was one of a number of new designs to emerge following the New Arms Order of 2735 and was notable for its large use of computer control as well as its heavy armament. 400 ships of this class would be built before the Amaris Civil War would bring about the downfall of the Star League. The vast majority were destroyed in the attempt to depose Amaris, but around 40 surviving vessels left with General Kerensky's Exodus fleet and a number continue to serve in the Clan toumans.[1]
Capabilities
The class carries a large armament which some officers see the ships as mini-Battlecruisers, consisting of a formidable array of 12 Class-20 Naval Autocannons, 6 Class 45 Naval Lasers, 8 Medium Naval Particle Projection Cannons and 2 White Shark and 4 Barracuda Missile Launcher batteries. The array of weapons however required a sacrifice in armor, mounting almost 50% less armor than the smaller Black Lion battlecruiser. Despite the light armor the Sovetskii Soyuz class were able to perform well in the war to liberate Terra using its long range firepower to keep adversaries at a distance.[1]
Cargo
209,861 tons
- Bay 1: 20 Fighters
- Bay 2: 8 Small Craft
- Bay 3: Cargo
Variants
As with all their WarShips, the Clans have performed periodic maintenance upgrades which have introduced, the main differences between the ships used by the Clans and the Star League Navy are an increased fighter compliment, upgrading the armor to Ferro-Aluminum armor and adding HarJel hull sealant units.[1]
