| − | The Dauntless class light cruiser is a scout cruiser, ships like this have always been a feature of the fleets of the [[Imperial Navy]]. These scout cruisers have always had enough firepower to fight off a determined attack by escort sized ships, and can hold enough supplies to stay away from a fleet base for months at a time, the Dauntless is no exeption. The Dauntless forgoes the traditional armoured prow of the Imperial Navy, and makes up for this by being substansually faster, and more manoverable 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 sufficent protection.

| − | The Dauntless Class has a respectable [[weapons battery]] on each side, and an option of a full cruisers compliment of [[torpedo]] tubes in the prow, or a furocious set of [[lance]]s set to fire past the ships prow. This devastating array of weaponry, combined with its speed an manoverability, have ensured that the enemy [[Captain]]s who overlooked the Dauntless on the count of its smaller size, have always paid dearly for their mistake. They are even more dangerous when paired, or opperating alongside an escort squadron.
