The following is based on The Mongoose Publishing RPG books and contradicts canon sources. |
The Shaakak-class Queen Light Cruisers are capital ships in the Gaim's Queen Fleets.
Overview[]
It's the home of the many Young Queens traveling with the fleet, and functions as a strike force command vessel. The ship is capable of delivering a significant amount of firepower from a distance, but is not designed for close-in-fighting and therefore is reliant on fighter squadrons to deter enemies from getting too close. It's often leading small fleets of gunships and escorts, in search of the Gaim Intelligence's enemies.
Notes[]
The specifications of the Shaakak class varies depending on the publisher and editions. The above is from Babylon 5 the Roleplaying Game's sourcebook The Lurker's Guide to the Gaim. The following are from other sources:
