The Disciple class was a class of light cruisers of the Grayson Space Navy.
Almost a clone of the Royal Manticoran Navy Avalon class, locally built by the GSN, numerous small differences in internal space allocation and electronics are all that separate the two classes. The basic weapons fit between the Disciple and Avalon are identical.
Production of the class was barely beginning when hostilities resumed in 1919 PD, resulting in the doubling of the planned first flight of units as an emergency measure. While the Disciple class has seen limited combat, individual units have proven their worth, both as independent operators and as members of the screen. Their off-bore capability in particular has been well received as it has multiplied their effective broadside.
The Disciple class has the distinction of being the first of the smaller GSN warships to be built from the keel out to handle mixed crews, with space set aside for gender-segregated berthing facilities in keeping with Grayson social doctrine. (Companion)
