Description: The Cygnus Class Gunstars are the standard Colonial cruiser, succeeding nearly all of the earlier gunstar designs. More than three hundred were built, and their design spans more than twenty-three years. Although considered one class, they are at least eleven different variants of the basic Cygnus design. The first Cygnus class gunstar entered service sixteen years after the Armistice, the last was destroyed over Scorpia while 84% complete.

Quirks/Special Characteristics: Given the long construction run the class enjoyed, there are no fewer than eight different variants of the Cygnus Class, each variant built in a sub-class known as a “flight” and featuring different armament configurations, command and control suites, and mission profiles . The example presented above is a Flight VII gunstar, specialized for anti-ship warfare.
