Unlike most warships that participated in the Collapse, the Aristov-class cruiser has its humble origins as a civilian transport craft. The Soviet Navy realized that their colonial transports were already well-equipped to operate independently of a fleet, and many Soviet colonies outfitted their transports with weapons as makeshift defense against raiders and possible xeno encounters. The Aristov-class sacrifices the transport sections in its middle for four EMSEL turrets and a fission core powerful enough to keep the ship operational for months on end, but is otherwise unmodified from its civilian origins.
