A Beta Cruiser represented a class of battleship utilized by the naval forces of the Hapan Royal Navy. In terms of size, it was significantly more compact than the Nova-class battle cruiser, a feature that contributed to its enhanced agility. Numerous vessels of this particular classification were part of the Hapan naval contingent involved in the Battle of Fondor, although only a small number managed to endure the conflict. The Starsprite was one example of this type of cruiser.
