ONRC | 'Mainstay II-B' class Protected Cruiser

"We stood the pride and joy of our fleet, and the terror to all those who opposed us; 40 Mainstay II-B class protected cruisers spread across the outer and inner sectors of Luma Major. Once ONRC stood a protectorate of the system; but with the outbreak of violence across the outer worlds churning the balance into chaos, battle lines needed to be drawn. In order to take back our system, Olympus High Command ordered a massive expansion of the fleet, and a conversion of all peacetime vessels (such as the Armoured Cruisers, and Patrol Craft) into wartime vessels. Many of the remaining Mainstay Cruisers had their support belts detached and several upgrades made to the designs in order to make them faster and more combat effective - namely bow mounted and heavy railgun turrets positioned on opposite ends of the hulls. Such a massive design philosophy change in the ONRC caused competing factions to begin matching in size and technological advancements - sparking an arms race the likes of which the system had never seen. The fleet expansion was highly criticized by many in the first days, however when the war broke out they were soon thankful to have their skies under the watch of Luma's custodians; the protectors of the last of Earth's remaining civilians, centuries onward."
