==Overview:==
When the SLDF admiralty commissioned the Cameron class battlecruiser, they
expected to receive a craft to fill the gap between their cruisers and
battleships--a swift and powerful WarShip, capable of outmaneuvering any
vessel it could not defeat in a stand-up fight. The contract for the ship was
awarded to Daussault-Shimmon Enterprises of New Earth, and eleven years later,
the SLDF received its first Cameron. Unfortunately, the new WarShip's
performance fell far below he SLDF's specifications.
The new Cameron came in 50,000 tons over its design weight and proved
unable to achieve even half of its projected acceleration rate. Despite these
and other, less apparent shortcomings, the SLDF admiralty felt compelled to
order 40 of the vessels. The SLDF was operating under a budget freeze at the
time, and the admirals feared the public sentiment they might arouse by
admitting their failure to adequately oversee the Cameron's development.
Fortunately, the WarShip's weaponry and armor proved excellent. The
Cameron's arsenal features Series-25 autocannons in the broadside bays, are
supplemented by a number of naval lasers. Naval PPCs dominate the ship's fore
and aft bays, providing considerable long-range firepower. The Cameron's
anti-fighter defense is provided by a number of Maelstrom AR-10 missile
launchers, which can fire missiles of any size.
Six years after its launch, however, the weaknesses of the flawed design
were illustrated dramatically when the SLS Saint Joan, a Cameron performing
escort duty, came under attack from Periphery pirates in converted merchant
vessels. The ramshackle vessels should not have posed a problem to the massive
cruiser, but as the Saint Joan maneuvered to engage the pirates, its primary
power system failed. When the Cameron's captain switched to auxiliary power,
he discovered that the vessel's batteries could not power the ship's weapons
and life-support systems simultaneously, and the pirates easily destroyed the
Saint Joan. Several senior admirals resigned following the incident, and the
Star League appropriated Daussault-Shimmon's shipyards. The existing Camerons
were relegated to transport duties.
The Clans use a modified version of the Cameron. Although the vessel is
still slow, it has proved an excellent mobile command center. The Clans have
corrected the defects in the Cameron's power-distribution system and added a
lithium-fusion battery system as well. Ironically, even this improved version
fails to meet the original performance specifications of the SLDF-commissioned
Cameron.
Clan Snow Raven not satified with the refit done originaly onn Clan
Camerons decided to intiat a MK II refit to the Camerons in thier fleet
similiar to the one completed on thier Sovetskii Soyuz class ships, the end
result was a much more capable ship for 512 million cbills. per refit
