Narn Regime G'Karith Class Cruiser

Having learned tactics from the Centauri, these ‘pack hunters’ of Narn Regime warships can be deadly when they are fielded in squadrons. With a small fighter compliment and a decent array of weapon systems, the G’Karith handles its role as a system patrol craft extremely well. Its ability to help coordinate and defend friendly fighters with its specialized pulsar mine launchers and several rapid-fi ring pulse cannons is admirable in the least.

Most of the outer worlds and systems – especially those along Centauri borders – of the Narn regime have had at least one G’Karith watching over them at all times for many decades, even when naval duties call for their normal defense group to be cycled out or called away. A tactical cruiser by design and practice, the G’Karith can only hold its own against heavier ships for a short while before it is outclassed and overwhelmed.

Several surviving G’Karith hulls were retrofitted immediately after the Narn-Centauri War in order to fill an important gap in the Narn fleet, that of a smaller cruiser capable of going toe-to-toe with other frontline warships – something that might have delayed the mass driver laden ships headed to home world. By trading the anti-fighter mines with more powerful pulse cannon, the G’Sten might have slowed them down enough to allow for reinforcements to stem the tide of destruction.
