Design
The Chargers were armed with five twin turbolaser cannons, each mounted on the opposing side of the center fuselage and one on the stern behind the sensor and communications array. The class also had a double laser turret on the top of the bow. The class also had a smaller sensor and communications array than on the peacetime vessels. The fast tracking targeting sensors installed on the weapons allowed targeting of fighters and other smaller craft more accurately. These would later be used on other anti-fighter weapons like the AG-2G Quad Laser Cannon
History
