The KDY Strike Cruiser is a Light Frigate buildable by the Eriadu Authority and the Galactic Empire while under Sate Pestage's regime.
Unit Description[]
Kuati produced variation on the Loronar Strike Cruiser with most famous example being Sate Pestage's personal flagship. Although technically an upgrade featuring more extensive hangars and advanced fighter launching facilities, the modularity and logistical benefits of the original Loronar version meant that remained the preferred choice.

It is slightly faster than an Imperial-I Star Destroyer, and carries three TIE Sentinel squadrons and four half-squadrons of TIE Bombers within its compact hangar. The KDY Strike is armed with two Single Medium Turbolasers, which fire two shots every 2.0 seconds with an effective range of 6.1km, two Single Light Turbolasers, which fire two shots every 1.0 second with an effective range of 5.1km, two Single Light Ion Cannons, which fire two shots every 2.0 seconds with an effective range of 5.1km, and two Dual Medium Laser Cannons, which fire two shots every 1.25 seconds with an effective range of 4.1km.
The KDY Strike also possesses the "Boost Weapon Power" ability, allowing it to boost its weapon damage output at the expense of its engine power and shield regeneration, as well as the "Emergency Retreat" ability, giving it a means to escape a tactical battle and flee to a controlled world.
