This class of cruiser has proven popular with the Navy for independent missions, especially beyond the Imperial border. Used alone, the ships are capable of a variety of diplomatic and scientific operations. Used in squadrons, they provide a useful show of force or reinforcement for friendly client-states. The ship’s cargo hold can be used to barrack up to 100 marines for small commando operations, boarding parties, and general ship defence.
Reportedly, some examples of the Atlantic class have been fitted with black globe force field generators. This has not been confirmed.
A total of 794 ships were produced, of which approximately 500 remain in service. The Atlantic class is now considered a second line ship. Approximately sixty examples have been transferred, sold, or disposed of to client-states of the Imperium. Recipients include several Vargr nations along the Corridor, Aslan colonial governments allied with or friendly to the Imperium, and many local human worlds within the Imperium.
