The '''''Enforcer''-class picket cruiser''' was a [[Starship/Legends|starship]] of the [[Pentastar Alignment]].

==Characteristics==
''Enforcer''-class cruisers were built on the same 600-[[Imperial standard meter|meter]] frame as the [[Immobilizer 418 cruiser/Legends|Immobilizer 418 cruiser]]<ref name="PA" /> and [[Vindicator-class heavy cruiser/Legends|''Vindicator''-class heavy cruiser]]<ref name="EGTW" /> after naval architects removed the massive [[Power generator/Legends|power generators]] from an Immobilizer 418 [[Cruiser/Legends|cruiser]] and discovered that by re-arranging the vessel's power grids, they could significantly enhance the ship's energy weapons, [[Deflector shield/Legends|shields]], and [[Tractor beam/Legends|tractor beams]]. Even the engines experienced a bonus from this reconfiguration. The end result was a very fast and maneuverable vessel that was well armed for a ship its size.<ref name="PA" />

==History==
The ''Enforcer''-class was a joint venture by [[Sienar Fleet Systems/Legends|Sienar Fleet Systems]] and [[Kuat Drive Yards/Legends|Kuat Drive Yards]] [[Engineer/Legends|engineers]] located in the [[Pentastar Alignment]] at the behest of [[Grand Moff/Legends|Grand Moff]] [[Ardus Kaine]]. The vessels were manufactured at the [[Galentro Heavy Works]] [[Jaemus shipyards|shipyards]] at [[Jaemus/Legends|Jaemus]]. The ship was born out of Kaine's desire to quickly rebuild fleet strength.<ref name="PA" />

Although labeled as a picket, the cruiser served as the frontline vessel of Kaine's resource-strapped fleet. These ships were deployed mostly in pairs. Formations based on this number became more common as Kaine's forces continued to grow, so sightings of four or six ships working in unison became more common.<ref name="PA" />
