The Saxon-class is a cutter primarily operated by CrownForce in the Star Kingdom of Persica. Intended to replace the aging secondhand cutters as part of Project Blacklance, the Saxon provides heavy ground and space support, and act in escort and customs enforcement capacities, with improved turrets and a flurry of ultralight missiles. The advanced Lord Royce Royal engines give the Saxon the speed and agility that CrownForce is quickly becoming known for.

Development History
The fourth starship class developed entirely in the Star Kingdom, the Saxon is the result of Project Blacklance, a programme which Ravendyne Defence Industries (RDI) proposed and heads, utilizing Persican subcontractors rather than acting as a local subcontractor for Eirangardian manufacturers. Sponsorship and personal interest from King Cade III helped RDI secure the contract and the Ministry of Defence approved Project Blacklance in 3384.
