Dirge-class Battlecruiser

The Dirge-class is a dedicated warship. It has no carrier or invasion capacity, and is built solely to combat other capital ships. Its speed and fierce armament are reminiscent of mounted archer warriors in pre-historic society - these warriors would ride in on their horses, fire their arrows then ride back out of range of the enemy infantry, killing the enemy through attrition. The Dirge Battlecruiser follows the same philosophy - its robust engines allow it to stay safely out of range of larger warships, making it - like most Sith vessels - ideal for tactics that require finesse, as opposed to a straight-on broadside fire exchange, as much of the rest of the galaxy is used to.
