Ambition-class Cruiser

The Ambition-Class Cruiser is an extremely rare class of Cruiser, produced by the Kormisoshi Dockyards of the Calixis Sector. These formidable cruisers posses firepower comparable as the Lunar-class and Tyrant-class cruisers of the Imperial Navy. Invariably incorporating the most luxurious and opulent quarters, the Ambition-class is a briskly efficient craft that lacks some of the ultra-conservative redundancies built into true naval vessels. Some commentators have observed that as such these ships are likely to be somewhat more brittle than many "true" cruisers, but most Rogue Traders are prepared to sacrifice this for the prestige of owning such a noble and exclusive craft.

History
The Imperial Navy is by far the most important purchaser of warships in the Imperium. The economies of entire sub sectors are devoted to supporting the manufacture and supply of these mighty craft, principally in regions which serve the greater Forge Worlds such as Mars or Cypra Mundi. It is extremely rare for private customers to have the resources to purchase a whole new cruiser outright. Rare…but not unknown. The Imperium, despite its complex feudal hierarchy, does occasionally produce the extremely wealthy individual, or dynasties with the financial wherewithal to commission the manufacture of a bespoke cruiser. These are not rusty and echoing mothballed, second hand cruisers from the wrecking yards or reserve fleets, but shining new vessels built to the quixotic specifications of eccentric and boundlessly conniving individuals. The Ambition is representative of such a type of ship. A handful of ships of this rare class have emerged intermittently from the orbital Kormisoshi Dockyards of the Calixis Sector over the past thousand years, each a phenomenally expensive purchase. They are true cruisers, with the ability to pack as much firepower as a Lunar or Tyrant-class ship of the Imperial Navy, though they have never been tested in combat against them, to anyone's knowledge.
