The Gozanti-class cruiser is a slow but heavily armoured starship deployed by the Imperial Navy. It can both be deployed as a cruiser, freighter and as troop transport, making the vessel ideal for both patrol and interceptions as well as transporting cargo and material around the area.
In later years, due to its popularity modified versions of the Gozanti-class saw service within the Legatus and in private military fleet like those of House Ramcelsior or private organisations and individuals.
History[]
- Legatus Service

The Gozanti-Class was introduced in 2804 (06 AQF) with the formation of the Legatus Finduilica and in the early years became the most common Imperial vessel within the Finduila Sector. It later became a primary partrol vessel within the Finduila Sector and often escorted the Arquitens-class light cruisers or the larger Autokrator-class Star Destroyers. Various ships of the class saw action during the Second Great Cyrannus War. The Gozanti-class remained an important asset for the Legatus, it even recieved a second variant build for recon duties, with additional engines and sensor dishes for long range communication and espionage.
Legatus versions carry the name LTC, which stands for Legatus Transport Cruiser and the Legatus Surveillance Cruiser. Due to their large number they often use numerical designations instead of full names, however there are a few Gozanti-classes within the Legatus navy that carry their own name.
- House Ramcelsior
By 2806, a large number of modified Gozanti-class cruisers saw service within the Defense Fleet of House Ramcelsior. They acted as support vessels for the larger, yet slower Serindia-class battlecruisers. In addition they became the primary transport vessels for members of House Ramcelsior or patrol of its territories by the Ramcelsior Watch. Gozanti-class cruisers for House Ramcelsior are constructed by the Saurien Sector Corporation at the shipyards of Eris.
- Other service
Various Gozanti-class cruisers fell into private hands as well, used for transport of individuals or used within the criminal circuit.
Specifications[]
The Gozanti-class cruiser was a 64-meter long vessel that could act as a freighter and cruiser. It sported a twin laser turret in a dorsal mount and a heavy laser cannon on its ventral side. The Gozanti also had a loading elevator on the bottom near the nose and docking ports to the side near the cockpit section
It can carry at least two walkers underneath it when it acts as a transport, or at least four fighters when carrying out patrol and intercept tasks. It is armed with two turbolaser batteries and has strong shielding and hull plates. With its three engines it is rather slow and not that agile though its powerful armour allows it to take a punch.
Its recon version, also known as the espionage ship was designed for surveillance, it featured two additional engines on its wings as well asadditional sensors and transmitter dishes.
