Anagaia - Class Cruiser
A very small cruiser as used by the Anagon Technocracy military.
The anagaia class is slow despite its miniature size, and is most heavily armoured at the front. Its main drive is relatively small, but its angled thrusters provide the ship with a high degree of maneuverability. This makes it difficult to hit the rear of the ship. Its main armament comes in the form of several spinally mounted railgun turrets. It has little in the way of secondary armament however, only a few small railgun turrets around the sides that cannot fire forwards. its shield is mostly focused on the front, and it relies more on anti missile missiles for missile defence rather than CIWS turrets because they can fire forwards. However it also has electronic warfare capability, making it harder for the enemy to gain locks on it in the first place.
The Anagaia was designed with the intent of engaging enemies very frontally, but because of this are very vulnerable to being flanked. This can be solved decently with use of escorting ships - possibly more Anagaia - classes facing the sides. Its role is to destroy large enemy ships and punch above its weight class, and the railguns that it mounts are very large and powerful. Anagon doctrine is to punch a large number of holes in an enemy ship rather than kill it, though (as all of their weapons usually overpenetrate), so the railguns are given a very high rate of fire and low recoil. They can punch a massive number of holes in an enemy hull and potentially cause great damage to crew or smaller starship components. These ships are designed to come with a lot of ammo for these weapons but require a lot of logistics to fight well. The slow speed of these cruiers can slow advancement by a significant amount so sometimes the RCS thrusters are used to help it manuever into position.
