The Skaadi-class Cruiser was one of the most common cruisers in the Navy of the Black Star Confederacy between 6 ABY and 14 ABY, when it was replaced by the Praxeum-class Strike Cruiser. The design was obtained by the Muir Corporation in 14 ABY. It owed its unique shape to famous designer Hikos Tel'Anh, who also worked on the Njord-class Cruiser.
