The Minerva-class is a class of nuclear-powered heavy cruisers in service with the Cacertian Royal Navy. It is the first vessel of its type to be powered by nuclear reactors and is the result of a Cacertian initiative to create a nuclear fleet. As the first of a new age of cruiser in the Royal Navy, the Minerva-class cruisers are the test platform for the newly developed Fiocina anti-ship missile system.
Considering the distance between the Cacertian Home Islands and its bases in Andria and Shalum, Cacertian High Command began serious considerations into developing a self-sustaining nuclear fleet that could operate at long-periods on patrol. Development of these vessels began in the early 21st-century with the first unit seeing completion in mid-2006.
The Mark V nuclear reactors utilized in the Minerva-class would be further developed into the Mark VII reactors used on board the Queen Anelyn-class battleships.
