Overview
Aulinu class Battle Rider
The Aulinu class Battle Rider was first built and deployed in 723 to the 154 th Battle Rider Squadron. The squadron
class Battle Tenders. The Aulinu was the first TL-14 capital ship design of the Imperial Navy and was equipped wi
with the last Imperial Navy Aulinu retired to colonial navy service in 908.
Using a 20,000 ton hull, the Aulinu class Battle Rider is the premier battle rider serving much of the Imperium. The
The hull is partially streamlined abd the Aulinu can conduct wilderness refueling.
There are 208 standard staterooms: single-occupancy for the officers and double-occupancy for the crew. The ve
is rarely utilized. The ship has a meson canon spinal mount for combat against other capital ships, and 16 small ra
to attack smallcraft though capital targets provides flexible firepower. For missile defense, the Aulinu has 5 point d
capacity for the battle rider is almost 2,200 tons.
The battle rider requires a crew of 380: captain, 5 pilots, navigator, 41 engineers, 27 mechanics, 238 gunners, 14 a
for security and onboard policing but many captains reduce this complement to 6 so that they can increase the sen
Class Naming Practice: The Imperial Navy honours decorated naval gunners by naming Aulinu class Battle Riders
