The Tartan-class patrol cruiser, also known simply as Tartan patrol cruiser, was an Imperial anti-starfighter ship in use by the Galactic Empire, in tandem with the venerable Lancer-class frigate. Armed with eight laser cannons, the Tartan-class cruisers were designed for use against starfighters, bombers, and pirate vessels. Most notably, powerful sensor and computer systems enabled their guns to engage rapidly with swarms of small, swift targets, although these systems came at a hefty price. In addition, powerful engines gave these ships the speed and maneuverability to engage directly with starfighters, and the systems that channeled power from the generators to systems throughout the hull were also versatile and sophisticated, being able to redirect energy from the deflector shields to give more firepower to the weapons systems.
