Note : | AJ2 and CA-V4 stated 10 Quad Laser Cannons [Fire Separately] (4 Forward, 4 Left, 4 Right, 2 Aft) in weapons load out, GEDB assumes 14 cannons intended. Nevertheless, weapon load out is woefully small. Its background information supports this: "...and bristles with armament." Armament should be no less than 40 to 70 weapons - when compared to Dreadnaught and Vindicator Heavy Cruiser.
The Enforcer-class Picket Cruiser was among the tactical concepts put forth by Grand Moff Kaine, who commands the Pentastar Alignment. Under his directive to rebuild his faltering naval forces, Grand Moff Kaine's naval architects discovered the flexibility offered by the Interdictor Cruiser hull following the stripping of a test Interdictor of its gravity well projectors and re-arranging its massive array of power grids. Developed under a joint contract for the Pentastar Alignment Navy by both Sienar Fleet Systems and Kuat Drive Yards, Enforcers are currently being constructed in the Jaemus System. Their exact service entrance date is not clear, however, they came into existence shortly after the formation of the Pentastar Alignment, which was formed several months after the Battle of Endor. As these vessels serve the Alignment, they bear its emblem. Visually, the Enforcer is identical to the Interdictor Cruiser. Interestingly, this ship is based upon the Interdictor Cruiser's hull rather than the Vindicator's. Nevertheless, it is heavily armed and surprisingly manoeuvrable for its size. Engine power, shields and weapons were also enhanced, while production cost and crew requirements were reduced. These successful reinforcements have made the Enforcer a considerably potent capital ship indeed. Currently, these vessels participate in picket duty between Pentastar Alignment and New Republic space. Due to their lower operating costs and requirements these ships generally operated in pairs. As their numbers grow, formations of four and even six Enforcers are being encountered.
