Overview
The Musai Daioh was the first of Bryn Shander's second generation capital ships, and was a huge improvement over the previous generation's Musai class light cruisers and even that generation's battleships. With a fair amount of firepower and a healthy strike craft compliment, the Musai Daioh was a respectable combatant, and examples of the class were often the flagships of small patrol, science, and logistics fleets.
278 ships of the class were constructed over the lifetime of the design.
