The Sickle-Class is a fast, effective, Light Cruiser. It can obliterate a squadron of starfighters, or, along with many counterparts, go up against a larger, heavier cruiser.

Its 2 TIE Droid Squadrons can be used for reconnaissance, or battle engagements, while providing a long-range punch, in addition to the Sickle's own turbolasers. Sickle Cruiser Commanders can expect this ship to be able to go up against a Dreadnaught, and emerge victorious.
