Overview:

         Mitchell Vehicles developed the Luxor-class heavy cruiser in response to the Star League Naval Command's search for a ship to replace the Avatar-class cruiser. Mitchell already had an advanced missile cruiser on the drawing board, which they quickly modified to match the requirement for a conventional heavy cruiser, the result, a heavily armed WarShip that was an instant success. The last Luxor-class heavy cruiser, the SLS Rhodan, came off Graham IV orbital slipways in 2765.
         The first test of the new ship came when the Periphery erupted into rebellion over the unfair taxes imposed by the Star League Council. Charged with protecting the troop convoys that were transporting the bulk of the SLDF from the Hegemony to the Periphery, the Luxors brushed aside many attacks on their charges. Soon the rebels began to avoid convoys guarded by the heavy cruisers.
         The campaign to liberate the Terran Hegemony from the Rim Worlds Republic saw the Luxors at the forefront of the action. In engagements with the Republic WarShips, the Luxors often emerged victorious, but against the sophisticated Caspar Drones of the Hegemony Space Defense System (now under control of the Usurper's troops) it was very different. The automated combat drones identified the heavy cruisers as a major threat and concentrated their attacks. Recognizing this fact, the SLDF began using the Luxors in a decoy role. While this tactic saved many transports, it was also virtual suicide for the ships assigned to the duty. One by one, the Luxor-class heavy cruisers fell in battle, taking as many Caspars as possible with them.
         The last Luxor-class heavy cruisers were destroyed during the final battle to liberate Terra.
