The '''''Plunkett'''''-class Cruiser was a class of Confederation capital ship that was in service during the [[Nephilim War]].  These cruisers were designed for provide significant support for both offensive and defensive actions.
 
The ''Plunkett'' comes equipped with a heavy armament of three Triple-Mount Heavy Particle Cannon turrets and one Triple-Mount Heavy Plasma Cannon turret.  These turrets provide the cruiser with both significant anti-capship firepower and the ability to turn nearby space into a field of large plasma and particle balls lethal to most every fighter or bomber of the early Nephilim War.  For added defense, this ship of the line is equipped with 21 Dual-Mount Point Defense Laser and Tachyon turrets for anti-fighter/bomber protection of both itself and the larger fleet.
 
For added operation capability, the cruiser can maintain a near full squadron of 15 fighters.  This added functionality enhances the Plunkett's role as both fleet defender and battleship.
