Tyrant-class Missile Cruiser

The Tyrant-class Missile Cruiser has never been used in large quantities even during the height of the Galactic Empire. The last of these imposing vessels were lost at the Byss Catastrophe. The remaining factions in the Galaxy has not had the resources to spend on these expensive vessels, preferring more standard multirole cruisers such as the Imperator. The New Republic has never shown an interest in the Tyrant.

The Tyrant carries 16 heavy missile tubes which can cause massive damage to slower capital ships if hit. This offsets the slightly meager turbolaser component of the ship, making it an effective space battle combatant when used against heavy fleet formations. All statisics are estimated.
