Belarus-class medium cruiser

Belarus-class medium cruiser The Belarus-class cruiser was one of the earliest starship designs approved by the New Republic, and was produced in limited numbers.

History
The Belarus-class was a modernized version of the Loronar's Strike-class and was rushed into production by the New Republic. It was moderately more efficient in terms of its crew complement but less adaptable in terms of modularity. A number of them guarded Mon Calamari at the end of the Yuuzhan Vong War.

Behind the scenes
The only official image of the Belarus-class cruiser is found in the RPG sourcebook Cracken's Threat Dossier. Like the pictures of the New Class ships, this picture contradicts information from the Black Fleet Crisis novels, on which Cracken's Threat Dossier is based.

The Belarus-class cruiser bears no resemblance to the Strike-class, even though it is supposed to be an improved version of that class. Because of this, the picture has been labeled as erroneous and dismissed as non-canon by many fans.

The Belarus-class medium cruiser shares its name with a mid-sized eastern European country.
