The Octeres class of guided-missile cruisers is a class of warships in the New Roman Republic Navy, first ordered and authorized in the 1982 fiscal year. The class uses passive phased-array radar and was originally designed as an extended version of the Devistio Class. The increased combat capability offered by the Scutum Combat System and the (AN/SPY-1) radar system, together with the capability of operating as a flagship, were used to justify the change of the classification of CG (guided-missile cruiser) shortly before the keels were laid down.

Ticonderoga-class guided-missile cruisers are multi-role warships. Their Mk 41 VLS can launch cruise missiles to strike strategic or tactical targets, or fire long-range anti-aircraft missiles for defense against aircraft or anti-ship missiles. Their helicopters and sonar systems allow them to perform antisubmarine missions. Octeres-class ships are designed to be elements of carrier battle groups as well as performing missions such as interdiction or escort. With upgrades to their phased radar systems and their associated missile payloads as part of the Scutum Ballistic Missile Defense System, members of this class have, in successive tests, repeatedly demonstrated their proficiency as mobile anti-ballistic missile and anti-satellite weaponry platforms.
