History

Admiral Luka as seen from above

Admiral Luka was designed to be used as a "barrage" cruiser, the ship's hull was based off of the Sofokli, it was made shorter, with features such as helicopter pad and hangar being removed, effectivly moving the bridge back, allowing for more missiles to be placed. The main naval gun of the Sofokli being replaced with two smaller guns, one in the back. The ship is ment to be used in formations with other cruisers and frigates defending it while it launched the missiles at the target. There were originally plans to build 16 ships of this class, but only 10 were build in the end. After her Launch, Admiral Luka was stationed in the Qash sea to, port of Revod, she was used as propaganda, and occasunaly went on missions, the most prominent of witch being in 2004, when she and a fe of her sister ships were sent to the West Lakkathan sea to supressed Sivuk rebles in the north-west of Lakkatha, she and hes sisters destroyed coastal reble outposts and herself sinking 2 reble vessals. Curently the ship sits in the port of Revod, ready to act when needed.
