Cruisers

Designated CRU in TExN service, Cruisers are midsize combat spacecraft. They are the second most numerous type of combat vessel in TExN, only outnumbered by Fighters. Cruisers are noticeably larger, heavier, and better armed than Frigates and Gunships, but are smaller than Destroyers/Battleships. They usually comprise the bulk of Heavy and Medium fleets, but are not very common in Light and Expeditionary fleets. This is due to their middling size, which makes them just as suited for long term and range "slugfests" as they are for quick "lightning strike" hit-and-run attacks.
