Measuring 875 meters in length, the Ardent-class prioritizes maneuverability (rated at 7) and speed (90 MGLT) without compromising on hull integrity or essential shielding. It carries 20 laser cannons, 15 heavy lasers, 50 turbolasers, and 20 missile launchers, emphasizing high-volume salvos and fast target suppression.
 
The cruiser supports 5 squadrons of strikecraft and a versatile transport bay, making it capable of independent operations far from supply lines. It is often deployed in wolfpack tactics alongside other Ardent units or as the forward line of mixed battle groups.
 
Its role is reflected in its name—“Ardent” being a symbol of fervent loyalty and decisive engagement. Few enemy captains wish to be the target of an Ardent-class pursuit.
