The Dunov class battlecruiser is a TEC battlecruiser class suited for support operations, and heavy troop transport.

Class history
The Dunov class was original a freighter designed for deep space hauls and to carry large amount of minerals. But with the sudden arrival of the Vasari, the TEC didn't have time to develop true warships, so they cannibalize a portion of their trade fleet and created warships from them. The Dunov is one of them, it served as the prime flagship of the early TDN fleet, previously it served during the Colonial wars as a troop transport, and was used by the various militia such as the Necros Coalition and the Alkaline Old Guard.

The Dunov would still be used, even after the development of superior and actually warships such as the Kol class battleship,Akkan class battlecruser, Maza class Dreadnought, and Sova class carrier. It along with its cousin and fellow military converted deep space hauler the Corsev class Battlecruiser, it is one of the last and only surviving warship class with civilian roots.

Design
The Dunov-class battlecruiser is ment for fleet support, and at times as a heavy troop transport. They are more powerful in numbers, and posses only one hanger making them weak in ship-to-ship combat. They however don't require heavy protection from enemy fire
