| abstract | - First created in order to more effectively combat what few pirate organizations were left in the Ogriand Sector, the Constrictor-class Cruiser was developed in order to stop fleeing ships from entering hyperspace. As such it is outfitted with gravity well projectors, on the same level as the Immobilizer 418 Cruiser designed by Sienar Fleet Systems. The ship is properly outfitted for its role in attacking and neutralizing enemy forces. It was decided that the ship would be paired with vessels more geared towards combat, so its weaponry systems would be oriented towards ionizing enemy ships and taking down enemy starfighters. Gifted with a top of the line Muir Anti-matter reactor, the ship is larger than an Immobilizer and has more capabilities. Its weapons system was designed after a look into Mon Calamari design and how they are able to route enough energy so that ion cannon batteries are feasible. In fact, Radion Labs brought in more than a few Mon Calamari technicians in order to make sure that the design process was perfect. After the ion cannon batteries, the next role of the ship is anti-starfighter. In that regard, it has 20 Quad Laser cannons, the normal complement onboard the Lancer-class Frigate. As the ship is nearly the size of a Victory-class Star Destroyer Mark I or a Mark II and because the Muir have perfected the art of starfighter combat and starfighter loads, the ship is able to house three full squadrons of starfighters. This helps further in the anti-starfighter combat capabilities of the ship. One of the tradeoffs has been that the ship cannot carry as much materiel as other vessels its size and furthermore, its troop complement is incredibly low, leaving the ship somewhat vulnerable to boarding operations. Since the ship was to be paired, generally speaking with a Defense fleet or a mobile defense fleet, this was seen as an acceptable loss. Since the ship has gone into production, within the Ogriand system, pirates have dwindled even further than their already low numbers, making the ship's design a victory in the book of the researchers and developers. There has been talk of putting the ship into the field when it comes to more offensive roles, outside of the Ogriand Sector, but what happens there, remains to be seen.
