These three cruisers, the Wolverine, Eagle, and Stingray, were built in Y167, Y168, and Y169, replacing the normal heavy cruisers in the production schedule for those years. These ships were, as with all fast cruisers, designed with “hot warp” engines and a reduced heavy weapons load.
This ship is a variant of the heavy cruiser but the changes were sufficiently extreme that it is considered a new class. Variants include the fast carrier and fast fleet scout.
Seeking weapons: The fast cruiser can control a number of seeking weapons equal to its sensor rating.
Refits: The AWR refit was available in Y170; virtually all ships had it by Y174. The Y175 refit was installed in Y175.
