Kelpaki Light-High-Speed torpedo cruiser

The Kelpaki class is technically a light cruiser. it is also a very fast moving and turning class cruiser which suits it's role as a Torpedo cruiser. Using the full suite of UruKhar technology, it can be seen in the image as beams bounce off it's special armor skin, even though that was caught without it's shields activated yet.

These cruisers compliment and also work besides Destasia class heavy cruisers as both can move swiftly. for it's size the Kelpaki carries some large torpedos and has them in several sizes, the smallest being chin and aft launch tubes. the Kelpaki has just room for three shuttle on board.the rest of the modular hull is taken with systems, quarters and other ship functions.

This vessel is light enough at just 50meters wide and 240meters long that it's drives make it the single most fastest cruiser type in the UruKhar fleet and so also an important element. Due to it's need for extra target sensing, it also gets nicknamed "Four Eyeys". It also as all UruKhar vessels makes use of GMGs for landing and take off.

Swarms of Kelpaki have won many a battle as they hurled hundreds of torpedoes at the enemy, too many to avoid or even shoot down. The Kelkapi is built in a 8month period, 4months in war time.
