Salamis-Class Cruiser - Biocrawler |
 | | The first Salamis-Class Cruisers were launched in conjunction with the Magellan-Class Battleships as part of the Earth Federal Space Force's "'70s Armament Reinforcement Plan" in U.C. They were armed with conventional weaponry: six main cannon turrets, six two-barrel machine gun turrets for anti-fighter (and later anti-mobile suit) defense, and two six-cell external missile launchers. |
 | | Although the Salamis class would suffer even more causalities throughout the remainder of the war, they proved to be more effective when used in conjunction with mobile suits, which would play a role in the Salamis Kai design a few years later. |
 | | The design of the Salamis-Class Cruiser 0083 Refit was heavily modified, with additional beam weaponry (including three double-barreled beam cannon turrets, a first for the Salamis class), AA/AMS defense, increased missile capability (the six-cell launchers were exchanged for larger 15-cell launchers, eight internal VLS cells, and larger engines. |
