Tenchant Light Cruiser

The Trenchant-class Light Cruiser is a less known cruiser type. Also the manufacurer, Merkuni Drives, is not very well-known throughout the Galaxy. The Trenchant is an older cruiser model with average speed and combat potential. In fact, more popular light cruisers have more weaponry and also better shields. To compensate the average speed, there are more Turbolaseres mounted back than there are mounted forwards. On the other hand, ship has enough anti-starfighter weapons to deal with attacking fighters.
