The Samurai is the second generation of Earthfleet starships classified as shipkillers that were designed with the intention of improving on, and eventually replacing, the Sergenious class as Earthfleet's front line defensive starship. However, that didn't quite work as planned as the Samurai's increased size (about 25% larger than the Sergenious) and increased weight slowed the ship down and made it less maneuverable than its predecessor. But, all hope was not lost as a unique niche and supporting roll was found for the Samurai, making it an excellent companion to the Sergenious in the defense of Earth, doing for the Sergenious what it couldn't do, and vice versa. The Samurai also supports heavier defenses and fire power, making it the bigger, more powerful sibling in the family of shipkillers.
Overview
The stock Samurai configuration, body design, weapons, shields, defenses, sensors, etc are all the same, save that they are 25% larger and more powerful than what the Sergenious carries. The ship still sports a crew of nine, but due to its larger size, there is more interior room for the crew, making long term missions more comfortable than they otherwise would be on the Sergenious. Although it's not as roomy as the Pegasus, it's still comfortably spacious in the crew areas.
