The Arquitens Light Cruiser is the name the 25th Anniversary Community Patch gives to the Carrack Light Cruiser, a Empire capital ship in Star Wars: Rebellion. The ship keeps its original game data, so its figures are the same as on the original page.

In the patch

The patch describes it as the Arquitens-class Light Cruiser and lists its length as 325 meters. The patch names its builder as Kuat Drive Yards.

History

Arquitens-class light cruisers were recognized for a distinctive design with a slender hull and a long bridge. The Galactic Empire used them widely for patrol, escort and support duties. Being so versatile, they were a familiar presence as the Empire worked to keep order across the galaxy. After the Death Star was destroyed they remained an essential part of the Imperial Navy, most effective in smaller operations that suited their agility and modest firepower. Appearing in many conflicts, they proved dependable and adaptable across a broad range of tactical situations.
