Description
The Soyal-class heavy cruiser design was offered to the Star League Defense Force as a candidate WarShip class to replace the Avatar-class heavy cruiser following the SLDF call for a successor WarShip. The Soyal was designed by Nicholas Shipyards and was one of two candidates to make it to the final competition stage; however, thanks to political pressure from the Chief Executive Officer of Blue Nose Clipperships, Craig Kovac, the Luxor-class vessel designed by Blue Nose ClipperShips won the competition.[1]
Whether or not the Soyal-class made it off the drawing board is unknown, and it is also not known if Nicholas Shipyards would have constructed the class from their shipyards at New Earth[2] or if there was another Nicholas Shipyards facility capable of producing the vessels.
