Tsunami Class light cruiser

This is a fast, missile-armed warship designed for interstellar power projection. It uses an unstreamlined 10,000-ton (SM +10) hull, but it is lightly armored, relying instead on active anti-missile and electronic defenses. Rather than being built for close combat, the Tsunami is intended to fight a long-range space battles or bombard surface bases, and relies on its very heavy missile armament to win naval engagements or pummel a planetary target into submission.

* One workspace per system. The typical crew are 10 bridge operators (captain, pilot, engineering officer, navigator, two sensor operators, three missile gunners, and communications officer), three beam turret gunners, 14 technicians, and one medic, along with any extra crew needed for small craft carried in the hangar. Extra shifts are often carried, augmented by a platoon-sized force of marines for shore operations.
