"Back when I was the captain of the Marathon cruiser Baghdad, at Actium a CCS hit us with a single energy projector strike. Killed nearly half the crew and damaged the Baghdad so badly that she was only fit for scrapping. The same happened to the Song of The East, except instead of being turned into a burning mess, she shrugged it off and broke the battlecruiser's spine."-UNSCN Captain Christina Ververs, circa 2559
Description: Replacing the aging Marathons, ships of the Autumn-Class form the backbone of the UNSCN and the core of its task forces, representing a considerable leap forward in human warships. Using modifications and improvements made to the original Autumn, along with newer technologies, the Autumn-Class ships are well-rounded, striking a balance between mobility, firepower, armor, crew requirements, and ease of manufacturing. Overall, these heavy cruisers represent the new UNSCN that relies on well-balanced, semi-automated, and advanced warships to protect earth and her colonies.
