The RSS Crusader is Svenbergs first attempt at a colonial cruiser with the main aim of tracking down pirates and removing them with extreme prejudice. Launched in 4465 and completed 2 years later due to a shortage of 150mm guns, the RSS crusaders first operation was to operate in the far eastern Majorca trading route. Sinking every pirate it came across and freeing many slaves, before operating in the new world colonies. Eventually in 4469 a full scale war broke out on the main continent pulling Svensberg in, meaning RSS crusader would operate as a fleet ship. After a long campaign of many small scale battles she same out on top, and returned to her former duties, before being turned into a museum ship at the turn of 4500.
