Comments: One of the older classes of vessels still in
service with the Imperial Navy, the Arugkali class battleship is still considered
a front-line vessel today. Still serving with 1 Imperial Navy battle squadron in the
Spinward Marches. The Arugkali class was one of the vessels which helped to
define the current navy standard of jump-4, 6-G acceleration and 6 agility.
There are current;y no plans to rotate this class to either the
strategic reserve or to a colonial squadron; it is felt this class still has the necessary
combat power to be considered a front line vessel, assigned to front line squadrons.
Currently, the Admiralty is discussing the possibility of performing a upgrade to this
class - the main reason against such an upgrade is the number of vessels still in service.
