The First Order Light Cruiser represented a type of light cruiser employed by the First Order. Functioning as both a crew transfer shuttle and capable of docking with the front of a Resurgent-class Star Destroyer, one example of this class was the Enshado. After Lor San Tekka's location was found, the First Order sent another cruiser to retrieve him; however, Black Squadron destroyed it.
This class of cruiser had the capacity to store two dozen TIE/fo space superiority fighters, along with a Xi-class light shuttle, within its internal hangar.
A construction flaw resulted in a power conduit being situated too near to the outer hull. This vulnerability meant that a coordinated attack by a squadron of starfighters, if successful in penetrating the ship's shields, could disable the entire vessel.
