Coria-class cruiser

The Coria class was a class of 43 built for the Urcean Royal Navy in the early part of the 20th century. Designed as part of King Patrick III's naval rearmament of Urcea, the Coria class was designed to be a general purpose light cruiser intended primarily for service in the Sea of Canete. The concept of the general purpose light cruiser was rendered obsolete with the introduction of the Glens Falls-class cruiser, after which time the Coria began service primarily as a scout cruiser and as a flotilla leader. Originally intended to be phased out by the late 1920s, the Coria class served during the middle portion of the Great War, though by that time it was largely relegated to defending shipping lanes between Levantia and Sarpedon in order to ensure that the Royal and Imperial Army was properly supplied and reinforced. The shallow draft relatively small width of the ship made it one of the few warships able to traverse the Carolina-Grand Canal, and the ship saw service in the Vandarch under the Yonderian Marine.
