Description:
Based on the Kinunir. The Luruu Hvy Patrol Cruiser was converted to a 1J ship. The intent was to defend worlds within
1J of its primary base. It also has a 50t missile bay instead of part of the jump drive.  The outhull, and fuel tanks have additional armour.   The ship can jump to a parsec (neighboring system) conduct business and jump back w/out refueling.

She carries 1 Pinnace, 1 Astrin APC, 3 Air/Rafts, and 5 armoured drop capsules. It has an additional 5.6t of fuel for the vehicles and can add more if needed for a specific mission. The ship has 200t of missiles but can carry additional missiles in cargo.

Intended as a Vanguard Cruiser it was converted into Colonial (Battle) Cruiser status during the 5th Frontier War and
 then again during the Revolution. Several ships from the General Products line had severe failures from their computer systems AI's resulting in crew death,  giving the ship a bad name sake.   See CT Adventure 1: The Kinunir for basic 1200t
 deck plans.
During the Revolution the plan was easy and mass produced as system cruisers.   The Commonwealth built the Heavy Patrol Cruiser to defend against pirate raids or incursions in regional areas. And the updated colonial cruiser
to fill the mission intended for the original.
