Overview:
With central authority all but shattered after the fall of the Terran Alliance's collapse and newer, more powerful states, on the rise-particularly the ascent Terran Hegemony and Crucis Pact-the industrious, freedom loving people of the Taurian Concordat sought to secure their defenses with an unprecedented demonstration of their military might. The Winchester-class cruiser, produced at the Illiushin shipyards, became a key element in this massive military build up, a bold first step in the Concordat's effort to strengthen its naval arm and head off potential invasions in advance.
For its time the Winchester came heavily armored, a remarkable feat for a vessel so large, yet so fast. Able to pull a maximum acceleration of 2.5Gs while simultaneously weathering heavy fire, this vessel quickly became the pride of the Taurian space fleet, a symbol of the rugged and progressive nature of the Concordat. Serving aboard a Winchester was considered the height of a Taurian naval officer's career.
As an older design, the Winchester relied heavily on naval autocannon and lasers for its primary firepower, with smaller-scale lasers and autocannons handling anti-fighter defense. As an added measure against aerospace forces or assault DropShips, this cruiser also features enough fighter and small craft bays for three support squadrons. It could also accommodate a trio of larger vessels with its docking collars. Typical attendant DropShips to the Winchester ranged from troop transports to boarding craft, usually manned-at least in part- by the Winchester's own compliment of trained marines. During the Reunification War, all of these aging craft were destroyed in various engagements, with the vessels falling to the SLDF Navy in 2581 at the titanic Battle of Robsart.
