The Plunkett-class Cruiser was a class of Confederation capital ship that was in service during the '''Nephilim War'''. These cruisers are designed for both offensive and defensive actions with his large array of turrets.
The Plunkett sports a heavy armament of three Triple Mount Heavy Particle Cannon turrets and one Triple Mount Heavy Plasma Cannon Turret for anti-capship operations. In addition, 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.
