Description

1: Piercer headed missiles
2: Cruise missiles
3: Missile bay
4: The “wings” on Cyclon ships don’t provide lift or aerodynamic benefits. They are surfaces used for radiating heat and an attachment point for mounting systems away from the superstructure, like the warp drive, and shield emitters.
5: Communications equipment, and sensor instruments
6: Standard Panoramic Bridge, same size as most Cyclon capital ships
7: Escape craft
8: Translation: Evacuatory vessel, do not fire upon
9: actuating fins only deploy after escape craft has been launched
10: High power headlamps
11: Port-side shield emitter
12: Port-side Backup Shield emitter
13: Fuel and coolant feeds to tanks housed in the fuselage.
14: Duranga-tori sub-light engine
15: warp ring circumscribes the sub-light engine
16: Duranga-tori sub-light engine
17: Fighter racks
18: Hangar bay

Built by: Starcore fleetwen

Year: 2872

Purpose: Combat

Class: Cruiser

Cost: 32,450,000 Dorets (113,575,000 GSU)

Crew: 760

Passengers: 3,400

Cargo Capacity: 2,300 tons

Armor: 12 meter thick dorsal deflection plates, Bahtick heavy paneling

Shield: Class 6.5 wingtip-mounted Jodlee-Pin beam shields

Hyperdrive: internal annulated Dutamen drive

Warp Drive: Starcore fleetwen driver Reaction Ring, sub-light nacelle integration variant

Armament: 34 Malai Double bolt-beamer batteries, 4 Shield infringement beam batteries, 12 anti-fighter turrets, 16 quailat shield missiles, 16 piercer headed missiles, 4 cruise missiles, 1 Stratomantle Pressure beam

Sensors: Long range DL reflectors, Delm-20 shield timing bulbs, close range optic array, long and short range scanner emplacements, advanced planetary survey instruments

Hangar(s): 1 hangar bay, 1 cargo bay, 4 external docking ports

Fighter complement: 30 Palastrafe-450 fighters, 4 Berth’m-580 Bombers, 4 Garer-para troop landers, 2 Garer-drova tank landers, 8 Gefla shuttles

Tractor beam(s): 4 radial Cargo manipulator beams, 2 starfighter retriever beams

Special Features: The Rendo classes’ hangar bay is placed in a position that makes the towing of cargo containers out of it possible. Despite the two extremely powerful Duranga-tori sub-light engines being situated right besides this hangar, they are stilll far enough away to not damage any objects directly behind the bay. The third engine is above the horizontal top of the hangar, and it’s thrust is well out of the way of any trailing containers. This ability is widely taken advantage of throughout the fleet, with many Rendo class ships serving as an extremely heavily armed logistics ships, or as escorts of cargo convoys that can carry as much as the ships they’re defending. Like many ships that carry cargo in a manner like the Rendo, it cannot enter atmospheres. A godsend for this problem is it’s detachment of Garer-drova tank landers, which can easily ferry cargo into the toughest of conditions, and can defend itself doing it. While the Rendo class exceeds as a transport ship, it’s firepower is needed on the front lines, and it’s overarmed for that role. There has been a variant of this ship developed that focusses on a cargo role, and it strips some of its weapons to better serve this purpose. This variant, called the Kola-Rendo has the ability to carry cargo into an atmosphere by utilizing an improved antigravity system, (many of it’s weapons were removed to make room for this) and an assembly under the rear center engine, that stabilizes the containers when entering atmosphere. The missile bay on the top of this variant was also replaced with a second cargo bay.

Description: The Rendo class cruiser is one of the most numerously produced ships of the Cyclon space force. It’s versatility, reliability, and firepower gave it the reputation of an all-around solid starship. It was usually deployed alone, to protect far flung Cyclon worlds and territories, and could easily take on any GDL ship smaller than a cruiser.

Fun Facts: GDL propaganda, meant to rally support for the campaign against the Cyclons, avoids rendering Rendo class ships. Ships such as the Urray-Jed are often shown as an example of the lunacy of Cyclon warmongering, or small frigates like the Pelathon class are often depicted being decimated by sleek, beautiful GDL cruisers, but the Rendo class fits a niche that is often hidden from the public eye. The Rendo class is a straight-forward, smart design that would garner more inquiry into Cyclons than hatred for them.
