The Broadside-class cruiser was produced in the early days of the Galactic Civil War by Kuat Drive Yards. It was designed for the Imperial Navy for use as a long-range missile ship. Most models of the Broadside were lightly armored and ran with a small crew. Early models carried a payload of expensive diamond boron missiles; their high-yield area effect detonations proved useful against tightly packed ship formations. Later models were fitted with more economical concussion missiles.
“舷侧级”巡洋舰是夸特动力船坞在银河内战早期生产的。这被设计为帝国海军的远程导弹舰。“舷侧级”的大多数型号都只有轻型装甲,依靠少数舰员运行。早期型号携带昂贵的金刚石硼导弹;导弹的高威力大面积爆炸被证明能有效打击密集编队的舰群。后期型号配备了更经济的震荡导弹。
KDY engineers decided that exceptional speed and maneuverability were unnecessary for this ship; as a result the Broadside is almost never encountered without an escort of some kind.
夸特动力船坞的工程师断定这种飞船不需要杰出的速度和机动性;因此,“舷侧级”几乎不会在没有护航的情况下参战。
