The Ruby Scarlett-class guided missile cruiser is a class of four guided-missile heavy cruisers built and owned by the Royal Illuverendian Navy, built as part of the Cruiser Fleet Modernisation Program.
Like the preceding Abydos class, the Ruby Scarlett class comprised Phase IV of the Cruiser Fleet Modernisation Program. This phase of the program mandated for the introduction of 254 mm (10 in) naval gun calibres as a main battery. It succeeded the program's Phase II heavy cruiser guns which had a calibre of 234 mm (9.2 in) and effectively placed the heavy cruisers to be in borderline battlecruiser territory due to their huge calibre. However, the Royal Illuverendian Navy insisted to categorise it as a heavy cruiser.
Both the Abydos and Ruby Scarlett classes were built and designed together by the Alliance of Illuverendian Shipyards, under AIS Illusian Division. A lengthened version of its predecessor, the design team flagrantly violated limitations placed by the Navy in terms of main battery amount- with nine main guns in contrast to the Abydos class's six. The larger dimensions of the class meant that there were greater rooms for VLS cells, and schematic CAG-130/M.944c (r-2) was selected for construction. Upon their inception, the Ruby Scarlett class displaced the under construction Lycoris II class of battleships in number of VLS cells onboard, the former having 240 cells in contrast to the latter's 192.
