| − | The Dauntless Class Light Cruiser is a common scout craft within the fleets of the [[Imperial Navy]]. Imperial scout cruisers have generally always had enough firepower to fight off a determined attack by escort size ships, and can hold enough supplies to remain autonomous for months at a time, the Dauntless being no exception. It forgoes the traditional armored prow of the Imperial Navy, balancing this lack by being substantially faster and more maneuverable than a full size [[Imperium|Imperial]] cruiser. Due to the need for power savings, and to conserve supplies, the Dauntless has about half the shielding and turret cover of a full size cruiser, but given its expected opposition this is sufficient protection.

| − | The Dauntless Class has respectable [[weapons batteries]] on either side, and an option of a full cruiser class compliment of [[torpedo]] tubes in the prow. A furious set of [[Lance]]s are set to fire past the ships prow on any enemy coming to close. This devastating array of weaponry, combined with its speed and maneuverability, has ensured that an enemy [[Captain]] who carelessly overlooks the Dauntless based on its size never makes the same mistake again. The effectiveness of the Dauntless is even more apparent when paired, or operating alongside an escort squadron.
