Description:
---------------
The Dauntless-class assault cruiser is a flexible medium-sized capital warship designed to challenge larger capital ships, convoys and military installations.
The ship is a heavier armed variant of the Resolute-class cruiser. It's main battery of eight twin gun turrets consists of a combination of medium to long-range rapid fire turrets and artillery turrets, with it's secondary battery made up entirely by modern twin plasma turrets. Two additional torpedo launchers have been installed and the torpedo-storage has been slightly expanded. Apart from that the ship is almost identical to the Resolute-class it is based on.
The Dauntless-class serves primarily as a dedicated strategic strike assault element in larger battlegrous and as a cruiser squadron command ship but is also regularly deployed on independent strike missions.
