Sentinel-class Interdictor Cruiser

Overview

The Sentinel-Class Cruiser (designation SCIC) is the Imperial Republic’s primary interdictor platform, purpose-built to seize control of contested space and prevent unauthorized hyperspace movement through Imperial Republic territory.

At 600 meters, the Sentinel is a specialized cruiser equipped with six gravity well generators, enabling it to pull ships out of hyperspace and disrupt enemy fleet maneuvers. It’s a cornerstone of Imperial Republic interdiction task forces, operating as a tactical anchor that holds hostile fleets in place while larger capital ships engage.

Defensively hardened with 9,000-rated deflector shields and a strong hull, it is more durable than most ships in its class. Its armament — while moderate — includes 30 laser cannons, 20 turbolasers, and 10 missile launchers, providing sufficient offense to hold its own when backed by escorts or carrier support.

Though not capable of planetary landing, the Sentinel carries 3 squadrons, 3 shuttles, and a minimal complement of troopers, favoring electronic warfare over ground operations. Its onboard sensor and jamming suites, paired with its tractor beams and interdiction field generators, make it a command-level control asset in regional blockade and fleet engagement doctrine.

The Sentinel-class exemplifies the Imperial Republic’s doctrine of Order before Force — a vessel of control, regulation, and stability through technological dominance.
