!Light Cruiser CLI A small military [Starship], designed for prolonged operations. Not strong enough for the line of battle, but able to catch and defeat smaller vessels. **Weapon systems** 1 [PAD] 4 [HELL] 2 [Heavy Cannon] 4 [Multi Cannon] 2 Missile Launchers firing [Heavy Missile] 4 [Chaff] / [Flares] launchers 33 [Starship Marines] **Approx tonnage** 35,000 tonnes **Maximum acceleration** 1.5 G **Navy Crew**: 100 (not including [Starship Marines] !!Doctrine The CLI has a key role in anti-piracy and colonial protection duties. Large enough to mount a PAD it out-guns all small classes of ship, and this, together with its higher acceleration means it can take on any number of pirate armed merchants with a high probability of success. Its main weakness is in the relatively small complement of marines - limiting its ability to board and capture or engage orbitals or asteroid bases. See also [Heavy Cruiser] [Missile Heavy Cruiser]
