The Atgeir-class battlecruiser was a warship used by Alsakan.

Description

The Atgeir-class was famous for its shields, generated by crowns of dagger-like shield generators. The class was similar to the later Invincible-class Dreadnaught Heavy Cruiser.[1]

History

Too expensive to deploy strategically against cheaper and nimbler warships, these battlecruisers were used primarily for home defense and tours of victory during the early Alsakan Conflicts.[1] These ships were built by Alsakan for the last of the Alsakan Conflicts,[2] around 3017 BBY.[3] The battlecruiser design inspired the Invincible-class Dreadnaught Heavy Cruiser.[2]
