CRU-4

The CRU-4 is a Cruiser-class combat spacecraft produced by Iris Spacecraft Inc. . It serves a very different role from the CRU-3, spending most of its time in battle fleets. It is not anywhere near as widespread as the CRU-3. TExN requested a design that had heavier weaponry than the CRU-3, but was not in the class of a Destroyer. Various companies vied for this contract, and Iris won.
