Prince Norman class Light Cruiser (Military Starship)

The three vessels of the Prince Norman class were built by the planetary navy of Bendor between 1107 and 1112 to replace three Aganar class light cruisers obtained from the Imperial Glisten Navy. Obtaining parts for the aging Aganars was becoming difficult, and the planetary government finally approved the construction of the Prince Normans, a replacement plan which used local resources and provided a large number of jobs for the planet's shipbuilding industry, which was suffering somewhat as a result of the war.

The Prince Norman and its sisters are typical of front line military equipment at this tech level, and closely resemble cruisers seen in Vargr and other planetary navies.
