The First Order Light Cruiser was a model of light cruiser used by the First Order.[2] It could be docked on the nose of a Resurgent-class Star Destroyer, and was also used as a crew transfer shuttle.[5] The Enshado was one such ship.[2] Following the discovery of Lor San Tekka, the First Order dispatched another cruiser to recover him, but it was destroyed by Black Squadron.[3]
Characteristics
The cruiser could carry two dozen TIE/fo space superiority fighters as well as a Xi-class light shuttle in an onboard hangar.[2]
A building error left a power conduit too close to the hull, allowing a concerted effort by a team of starfighters that breaches the vessel's shields to deactivate the whole ship.[3]
