Wurrif-class light cruisers represented the Ssi-ruuk's medium-sized warships within their fleet structure, filling a key role in their naval strategy.
The design of the Wurrif-class centered around providing escort duties for the Ssi-ruuvi fleet's larger and more strategically important vessels. These included ships like the Shree-class battle cruisers, the Sh'ner-class planetary assault carriers, and the Lwhekk-class manufacturing ships. Furthermore, they engaged in combat scenarios, typically operating alongside at least three Fw'Sen-class picket ship. In these coordinated attacks, the smaller picket ships would use their ion cannons to disable enemy vessels, creating an opportunity for the Wurrif cruiser to utilize its tractor beam for capture.
Wurrif cruisers measured 400 meters in length and had the capacity to carry 200 Swarm-class battle droids. Their armament consisted of weaponry comparable to 6 heavy turbolasers used by other galactic powers, along with 24 ion cannons, and 12 tractor beam projectors.
These cruisers were the smallest Ssi-ruuvi warships known to be commanded by Ssi-ruuvi officers. The crew of a Wurrif comprised 200 Ssi-ruuk, 1500 P'w'eck slaves, and 156 enteched droids. The ship's cargo capacity reached up to 2,000 metric tons.
During the Invasion of Bakura, four Wurrif-class light cruisers were documented as being present.
