Designer's Notes:

The Giirukaa-class Fleet Intruder has its roots in the same premise that led to the development of the Azhanti High Lightning-class during the Solomani Rim War: that a class of cruiser fitted with the longest-ranged jump drive available would be of great utility in the border conflicts that have characterized Imperial wars since the Civil War. The design is dominated by powerful J-6 drives and the fuel tankage needed to support them. Not only can the Giirukaa-class travel farther in one jump than other warships, its fuel tankage is sufficient to support out-and-back missions up to three parsecs away without refueling.

Naturally, some compromises were required to make space for the 36,000 tons of jump fuel carried by this 60,000-ton ship. The most obvious compromise is the decision to limit acceleration to 4 Gs, to allow the mounting of required fittings, armament, and armor. While this is inferior to the standard 6-G performance of most Imperial cruisers, it exceeds the normal-space performance of the Azhanti High Lightning class by 3 Gs. The Giirukaa class is also slightly undergunned, in comparison with other warships of this size. Despite these factors, the unparalleled strategic mobility of this ship makes the Giirukaa-class Fleet Intruder a valuable addition to the Imperial Navy.
