Arquitens-class Light Cruiser

The Arquitens-class is a small-medium warship employed by the Republic.

Overview
The Arquitens can be built from tech 2 onwards at any level 2 or better space station, and they come as garrison for any station of level 3 or higher. It has four turbolaser turrets (two on top, two on bottom), four laser cannon turrets (two left and two right), and one concussion missile launcher. These, as well as the Power to Shields ability, allow it to duke it out with ships larger than itself if commanded well. Its disavdantages are that it is comparatively expensive, and it lacks a hangar.

In Nojembre's expansion

 * The ship is shrunk down to its actual size, making it easier for it to evade shots.
