 The //Chiaki// originates from several designs, including the //Plumeria,// //Ketsueki,// //Yui// and //[[stararmy:starship_classes:yuuko-class_gunboat|Yuuko-class gunboat.]]// Star Army planners long had wanted less maintenance-intensive ship that could be put on the front or rear lines with equal effectiveness and could deal damage on an increasingly losing battlefield. The //Chiaki// originates from several designs, including the //Plumeria,// //Ketsueki,// //Yui// and //[[stararmy:starship_classes:yuuko-class_gunboat|Yuuko-class gunboat.]]// Star Army planners long had wanted less maintenance-intensive ship that could be put on the front or rear lines with equal effectiveness and could deal damage on an increasingly losing battlefield.
  
-The //Yuuko // was designed to be that vessel, but the reliance on torpedoes, along with its small size, led to it being ineffective against [[faction:mishhuvurthyar:nmx:nmx_escort|heavily armored,]] [[faction:mishhuvurthyar:nmx:nmx_hand_of_fear|heavily armed]] NMX vessels and the vicious new class of [[faction:mishhuvurthyar:nmx:nmx_battlepod_type_30a|battlepods]].

 Reaching those two goals — front-to-back versatility and ground combat capability — meant a new vessel. Planners wanted something simple and cheap, as the //Yuuko// was, but also robust and potent, as the //Yuuko// was meant to be. Reaching those two goals — front-to-back versatility and ground combat capability — meant a new vessel.

 The NMX vessel provides better anti-starfighter cover with its many turrets and battlepod bay. It also can create a more complete defensive screen for capital vessels, soaking fire from incoming enemy vessels into its broadsides as it replies with turreted weapons. The NMX vessel provides better anti-starfighter cover with its many turrets and battlepod bay.
