Redemption-Class Light Cruiser

Sometimes in the War with the Void Born, some Alliance member feel Shame. Shame, because many new Military Ships, Gound Vehicles and Weapon Systems come from a fairly new Member of the Alliance, namely the Human Vega Federation. Compared to the at War's beginning totaly illprepared Alliance, the Vega Federation was fully aware of how much of a threat the Empire was, after Humanity lost Earth to the Empire. But the Humans faced a ugly Dilemma. Despite having now access to new Technologys, there where almost no large scale company's left to produce new stuff! With no choise left, many smaller Company's fused together. One of them, was SDA! SDA was a Fusion of the 3 European Manufactorers Short, Dornier and Avia and was tasked with the creation of Humanity's first Warship Class. The new Light Cruiser was supposed to operate in Space and in the Atmosphere of Planet's. SDA got to work and half a year later building the first 3 Ships, wich recieved names deeply connected with the 3 former Company's, the "Belfast", the "Manzell" and the "Prague".

Those 3 Ships performed various trials and slowly, but carefull, all faults and problems where fixed. Infact, the Ships could even land on Water and operate as regular Ships on Ocean's. The 3 Ships attracted soon the attention of the Alliance High Command, which was truly impressed. They where simpel, easy to build, though and packed a mean punch for Ships their size. The Alliance wanted to produce the Ship as soon as possible and ordered many newly build Shipyards to build the new Ship. "Belfast", "Manzell" and "Prague" where soon transfered to the Centerfront and to the Fleet under Grandadmiral Fer'ina, who was also just send there to plug the gapping hole in the lines which came to be after the failed Alliance Offensive. The Ships would perform mostly Escort Duty's for the Grandadmirals Flagship and where damm good at it. The 3 Ships performed well and despite being only light Cruisers, they pushed back all attacks and even crippeld Imperial Battleships with Torpedo Volleys!

The now "Redemption"-Class named Cruisers performed also well on other Frontlines and where partially responcible for containing smaller offensives, mostly on the Center- and Southernfront. A Squadron of this Cruisers found itself in the way of a attempted Pincer maneuver of a new Imperial Offensive and was, with heavy losses, capable to grind the Attack to a hold and hold the line until reinforcements arrived. But this reminded everyone, that the "Redemption"-Class was just a light Cruiser, who should dish out Damage from afar and kiting away to evade enemy Fire. But the Ships proved themself in their baptisms of Fire and would soon become another important part of the Alliance Fleet.
