The '''Dauntless Class Light Cruiser''' is a common scout craft within the fleets of the [[Imperial Navy]]. Imperial [[Cruiser|scout cruisers]] have generally always had enough firepower to fight off a determined attack by [[escort]]-sized ships, and can hold enough supplies to remain autonomous for months at a time, the Dauntless being no exception. It forgoes the traditional armoured prow of the [[Imperial Navy]], balancing this lack by being substantially faster and more manoeuvrable than a full size [[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.<sup>1</sup>
