A versatile starship designed for a variety of tasks, the Warden-class light cruiser, manufactured by Sienar Fleet Systems, served as the successor to the Guardian-class light cruiser.
The Warden-class, measuring a modest 42 meters – a bit bigger than the previous model – was intended to be a multi-role security vessel, suitable for customs checks, patrolling, and combat operations. Compared to the Guardian-class, it boasted enhanced sensor systems and more potent engines. The ship was operated by a crew of sixteen, including a gunner who controlled two turret-mounted laser cannons. Furthermore, the interior had room for fourteen soldiers and could carry 100 metric tons of freight.
