RNI Systems' Aeolus class cruiser, while looked on with disfavor during the pre-war period, saw extensive combat during the NTF rebellion and Shivan invasion. It was only during these conflicts that the Aeolus came to claim the title as the most effective Allied cruiser, as it's massed antifighter weaponry could effectively cover an entire convoy, or in small hunter-killer packs attack with near impunity from retaliatory fighter counterstrikes. Demand and usage of these ships was so heavy near the end of the NTF and Shivan wars that they would often go into battle without full loadouts of flak projectiles and complete hull repairs. Only four ships survived out of the original twenty four built.
With their Laramis shipyards undamaged, RNI quickly started the production lines again after the end of the second Shivan invasion, rapidly producing more of the class. They also took the opportunity to correct a number of minor flaws such as the weak subsystem armor. At the current date, the Aeolus cruisers along with the Deimos corvettes are the most common vessel in Terran service. However, BuShips and RNI didn't stop there.
In 2373, the new GTC Alcyone class was unveiled, a technological follow-up to the Aeolus, designed jointly by RNI and GTVA BuShips. While as one pilot said, "damned short on looks" the Alcycone has an extensive and powerful weapons array. Using a similar hull setup, the Alcyone had a number of improvements over it's older sibling. These include improved antifighter beams and cannons, as well as a single nose mounted medium beam cannon, eliminating the Aeolus's other weakness, low anticapital firepower. The hull armor consists of a new collapsed Tungsten-Rhenium- Iridium alloy, laced with a heat-dispersing superconducting gridwork. This superdense armor has the greatest refractivity of any armor yet used by the GTVA, giving excellent protection against directed energy weapons. Many of these and other, lesser improvements are due in part to materials advancements made since the second Shivan invasion. Current plans are to assign Alcyone cruisers to mutually supporting hunter-killer packs in case of a major conflict, a strategy that was particularly effective for the NTF.
