Modified Strike Cruisers were Loronar Corporation Strike-class medium cruisers modified by the Alliance to Restore the Republic to carry gravity well projectors.
History[]
When the Rebel Alliance built stolen gravity well projectors into Loronar Strike-class cruisers, they called the result a "Modified Strike Cruiser" for lack of a better designation. The fuselage of this particular modified version of the Strike-class cruiser had been altered to carry gravity well projectors in a pair of bulbous external housings. With these, the ship could be used as an interdictor similar to the Imperial Immobilizer 418 cruiser.
The first Modified Strike Cruiser was Peregrine, which was refitted by the Rebel Alliance and their Airam allies with gravity well projectors from the captured Interdictor cruiser Compellor. At least one other ship, Sagina, was built to this design at shipyard Calenz in the Nocto system, but it is unknown if it already carried operational gravity well projectors when the shipyard was destroyed.
After the Airam campaign, there were no recorded sightings of this class. The Rebellion evidently lost the interest and/or capability to build such ships when their shipyard Calenz was destroyed. Instead, they eventually went on to use the CC-7700 frigate and growing numbers of captured Immobilizer 418 cruisers.
