Overview:
The Aegis Class WarShip was already an aging design when Ian Cameron and the other leaders of the Great Houses signed the Star League Accords in 2571. First launched in 2372, the powerful Aegis was one of the most sophisticated vessels at the time. These heavy cruisers boasted excellent firepower and maneuverability, and benefited from a number of refits to maintain their effectiveness. However, in 2531 the Hegemony Navy mothballed the aging vessels and replaced them with the Avatar Class heavy cruiser. Later, the Reunification War that followed the founding of the Star League created a critical need for WarShips, prompting First Lord Cameron to reactivate the Aegis in 2582. Member states of the Star League received 30 of these vessels, and 70 were sent to Hegemony shipyards for refitting.
The Aegis' creator, Di Tron Heavy Industries, spent the next ten years refitting these vessels. Di Tron used the latest technologies, such as lithium-fusion battery systems, to transform the aging WarShips into highly effective fighting craft. The refitted Aegis mounted a formidable arsenal built around 18 turret-mounted autocannons. A number of smaller cannons, naval lasers and missile systems supplemented these massive weapons, making the Aegis a powerful anti-ship platform. The Aegis relied on a three-squadron fighter complement for protection against enemy aerospace fighters and small craft.
The refitted Aegis was only lightly armored, but a surprising number survived the fall of the Star League and departed the Inner Sphere during the Exodus. A number of these craft have been observed in Clan aerospace fleets. The majority of these vessels apparently serve in the Jade Falcon touman, where they perform escort and transport duties.
