Light cruisers are the second smallest ships currently in service in both the Syndicate and Alliance navies. Light cruisers are little more then enlarged destroyers, but are more commonly seen providing escort duties for larger warships. Because of their small size and power, many of them are lost during the Alliance Fleet's return to Alliance space from Prime.
Syndicate Light Cruisers are described as looking like giant Barracuda's.
During the early years of the War, the Syndicate mobile forces deployed a type of Light cruiser fitted with extra Troop Transport capability, these cruisers were called Assault Cruisers by the Alliance.
