	The Sanctus is a ship with a troubled development history.		The Sanctus class cruiser is a ship with a troubled development history.

	~~The Sanctus started life as~~ a ~~support vessel for the newly~~ developed ~~Solaris destroyer~~. ~~Anticipating a host~~ of ~~logistical and financial issues with~~ the ~~Solaris~~, ~~the~~ Sol element of Han-Ronald Corporation ~~drew~~ upon its years of cruiser design experience to conceptualise a hybrid cruiser-freighter. Deploying a wing of Sanctus ~~vessels as part of~~ a Solaris ~~battlegroup~~ would relieve the logistical strain of deploying these behemoths in combat, while providing area defense and fire support for the destroyer's air wing.		In the 2350's the future shape of the Federation space military was proposed in BULWARK's Strategic Imperative Paper, describing a garrison force operating inside a highly developed supply and intelligence infrastructure. Federation warships would be supply-hungry, but capable of ferocious high intensity combat to contain any invasion force. The requirements for the Future Fleet Cruiser were heavily influenced by this document, and a variety of imaginative doctrines were proposed by competing defense contractors.

			The Sol element of Han-Ronald Corporation eventually won the contract to build the Sanctus, drawing upon its years of cruiser design experience to conceptualise a hybrid cruiser-freighter. Deploying a wing of Sanctus cruisers alongside a Solaris destroyer would relieve the logistical strain of deploying these behemoths in combat, while providing area defense and fire support for the destroyer's air wing. Strike capability was already filled by the Purusha frigate - cruisers were anticipated to be deployed as part of a battlegroup.

	The Sanctus turned out to be an unhappy compromise. The ship was substantially larger than any previous cruiser in service, yet its weapons barely outstripped that of a Fenris. Cargo space was limited by the need to host the ship's own weapons and combat systems, and though critical spaces were sufficiently protected, the cargo hold had a desultory armour scheme that left it vulnerable to a determined attack. Due to ongoing trade route raids by Gaian Effort forces, the role of the cruiser was switched from the relatively supported fleet cruiser role to that of convoy escort, to which the Sanctus was poorly suited.

	The Sanctus ~~occupies a tactical space between the Karuna frigates and the old GTA Great War-era cruisers. The UEF military officially designates the Sanctus as~~ a ~~next-generation cruiser, though the~~ ship~~'s dimensions approach those of the Vasudan Sobek class corvette. The cruiser was designed~~ with ~~the Federation's philosophy of generalisation in mind, and as such has enough cargo space to serve as a military freighter and transport while still performing adequately as~~ a ~~warship. Although numerous and tactically flexible, the Sanctus is so broadly deployed that casualties are simply inevitable~~.		The Sanctus is a ship with a troubled development history.

			The Sanctus started life as a support vessel for the newly developed Solaris destroyer. Anticipating a host of logistical and financial issues with the Solaris, the Sol element of Han-Ronald Corporation drew upon its years of cruiser design experience to conceptualise a hybrid cruiser-freighter. Deploying a wing of Sanctus vessels as part of a Solaris battlegroup would relieve the logistical strain of deploying these behemoths in combat, while providing area defense and fire support for the destroyer's air wing.

			The Sanctus turned out to be an unhappy compromise. The ship was substantially larger than any previous cruiser in service, yet its weapons barely outstripped that of a Fenris. Cargo space was limited by the need to host the ship's own weapons and combat systems, and though critical spaces were sufficiently protected, the cargo hold had a desultory armour scheme that left it vulnerable to a determined attack. Due to ongoing trade route raids by Gaian Effort forces, the role of the cruiser was switched from the relatively supported fleet cruiser role to that of convoy escort, to which the Sanctus was poorly suited.

			In the immediate aftermath of the Gaian Effort campaign, Admiral Calder began an extensive refit program to all Sanctus cruisers to replenish Third Fleet's strength. The cargo hold was removed and armour improved around vulnerable areas. Light torpedo launchers, new point defense and burst flak weaponry were added. The result was a tactically flexible weapons platform, powerful against strikecraft - if somewhat undergunned against larger warships. Throughout the course of the war with the GTVA, Earth and Mars would began a similar process of upgrading Sanctus cruisers and deploying them as attack cruisers. It was not until the second refit of the Sanctus where deficiencies in firepower and armour were finally addressed and the design would reach its full potential as a line combatant.
